Order to cause 8 sarplars, 4 pockets of wool of John Foghel of Sandwich and John Facy of Caleys to be kept in their custody until further order, and to cause their persons to be arrested and sent before the king and his council at London without delay, so that they be there on the morrow of Michaelmas next at latest, to answer the things laid against them, and further to do and receive what shall be determined, and to warn Stephen James of Sandwich, William de Yok, Henry de Littlebourn and certain others of Sandwich, to be there to give information to the king and council, as the king is informed that Stephen and the others lately arrested the said wool about midnight at Kyngesdoune near the sea in Kent, brought there by night in two carts, to be laded in a small ship of Donkirke whereof John Gollard is master, near that place, to be taken to parts beyond the sea without paying the custom or subsidy thereon, and they had the wool taken to Sandwich and delivered to the said bailiff there.
