The community of Huntingdonshire state that they granted the king in the ninth year of his reign that they would find a man for Scotland from each vill, that they were pardoned the sum of money collected for that in exchange for a sixteenth, and that an inquiry into what had happened to the money collected found that it was in the hands of the chief collectors, Andrew le Moyne and Walter de Pappeworthe.

Possibly covered by the response to SC 8/32/1586: With regard to these two petitions, the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer are to be ordered that if it was ordained that those moneys which were raised for the expenses of these men by the vills were to be returned, then they are to have those moneys which are in the hands of the collectors and subcollectors returned to the vills as is fitting.]
