Addressees

King.

Nature of request

Godkin de Revele and Conrad de Affelen, merchants of Almaine, state that the king owes them, by his letters of obligation sealed with the cocket, £211 3s. 8d., which they lent him to be paid last Easter, and request that he send writs to the collectors of the customs in his port of Boston, to allow them that sum in the next customs on wools and other merchandise to be sent by them out of the same port, notwithstanding any ordinance or command to the contrary.

Nature of endorsement

A writ of Chancery is to be sent to the collectors of the custom in the same place, that, when they have seen the letters patent, if they find that such a sum of money is owed to them for that reason, they are to allow it to them in the custom on wools, hides and woolfells to be embarked by them in the same port to be carried overseas, receiving from them the said letters patent and their letters of acquittance etc.

Places mentioned
