To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause Michael the bellfounder (Campanarius) and William de Casse, merchants, to have ten tuns and one pipe of wine, or the price thereof, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the sheriffs and coroners of London that the said wine, which was taken into the king's hands by Roger le Palmere, late one of the sheriffs, by reason of Menandus de la Porte being indicted for the death of Alice Ambroys, belonged to the said Michael and William, and that Menandus owned nothing thereof, and that the wine was worth when it was taken into the king's hands 18/. 13s. 4d., whereupon the king, at the request of his yeoman Oliver de Burdegala, ordered the sheriffs of London to restore the wines or their price to the said Michael and William, but the sheriffs have hitherto done nothing in the matter.
