He has sued three times for the remainder, and various writs have been sent to the ports of Dover and Hastings; but the people of these ports have done nothing, in contempt of the king's command and to the great impoverishment of the two merchants. Bertrand asks that such a remedy might be ordained that he might not be destroyed.
