To Peter de Brugge and Nicholas Bray. Order to cause all the goods and chattels and stock of the priory of Andevere by them delivered to Thomas de Spigurnell now deceased, if existing, or if not the true price thereof, to be levied of the goods and chattels of the said deceased and delivered by indenture to the prior and house of Andevere, certifying in chancery under their seals what they shall do herein, and sending again this writ; as lately the king appointed the said Peter and Nicholas to cause the goods and chattels and the stock pertaining to the said priory, which was in the king's hand by reason of the war with France, to be by indentures between them and the said Thomas and the prior, containing the quantities thereof, delivered according to an appraisement to the said Thomas, to whom the king by letters patent committed the keeping of the said priory and of all lands and possessions thereto belonging, so that the said Thomas should answer for such goods and chattels to the said prior and to his house; and the king is informed that after the livery of the said goods and chattels and stock great number of them are now eloigned and withdrawn, [praying for] restitution thereof to the prior.
