The hospital of Normannespitel (Norwich, St Paul) which is of the foundation of their church and pertains to their church in free alms for which they have grants and confirmations from the king's ancestors was seized into the king's hand by Clifford by power of his office, and after the intervention of the bishop of Norwich who then was with the council, the escheator was ordered to restore the hospital to the petitioners and repay the issues in the meantime. The issues were not repaid and their enemies procured in the last eyre to show that the escheator had received £8 and this is now demanded in the Exchequer.
