 554 EXCHEQUER AND WARDROBE IN 1270 October suide scaccario salutem et fidelia semper seruicia. Nouerit vestra domina- cio 1 quod scrutatis ad mandatum vestrum Rotulis scaccarii vestri de Recepta et Brevibus i Inuentum est quod iampridem debebatis diuersis mercatoribus de Ipr' mille quaterviginti decern libras decern et septem solidos et quatuor denarios. De quibus receperunt ad ipsum scaccarium sexaginta libras tantum. Et sic debeutur eisdem adhuc mille et triginta libre decern et septem solidi et quatuor denarii secundum tenorem breuium de Liberate que retroactis temporibus ad ipsum scaccarium sunt exhibita et adhuc remanent in eodem. Si autem ipsam pecuniam uel partem eiusdem alibi uel aliunde receperint nescimus. Ad hec de centum marcis liberandis nunciis vestris ad partes transmarinas profecturis vt man- dastis, nichil omnino facere possumus quia in vltimo recessu vestro a Westmonasterio tulerunt Custodes Warderobe vestre vobiscum quod non credimus vos latere quicquid tunc habuimus in Thesauro videlicet mille marcas preter pecunia[m] que [sic] prius liberaueramus in eadem Warderoba. Et ad operaciones Westmonasterii et ad empciones eiusdem Warderobe vestre et alibi per precepta vestra specialia f [e]t post ipsum recessum vestrum est vnicus denarius receptus in eodem scaccario preter quandam partem tallagii quod domine Regine assignastis quod non transit per manus nostras immo per manus clericorum suorum ad hoc specialiter deputatorum. Et quidem contra festum translacionis beati Eadwardi proximo preteritum recepimus a diuersis mercatoribus et Iudeis octingentas marcas de quibus nichil adhuc reddidimus nee est aliquis modo qui nobis aliquid nomine mutui tradere velit. Et sic nichil facere possumus nunciis predictis '. quod nobis est molestissimum. con- seruet vos dominus. The Channel Islands Petitions of ijoy It will be remembered that in his introduction to the Memoranda de Parliamento the late Professor Maitland discussed the question of the completeness of the roll there printed (now Exchequer Parliament Roll 12) and showed that in its present form it is imperfect. He mentioned in particular (p. xxiii) the omission of the petitions from Gascony, for which receivers had been appointed, and also the omission of petitions relating to four matters which are dealt with in the Placita at the end of the roll. These are the Ordinance of Trailbastons, the dispute between the priors of Durham and Coldingham, proceedings against the abbot of Mont St. Michel, and proceedings against the men of Dover ; but the dispute between the priors is dealt with in a membrane formerly numbered T. G. 40451, now incorporated in the roll, and printed by Maitland (pp. 314 flf.). Another notable deficiency is the absence of any petitions from the Channel Islands. The roll mentions that John de Berewyk, Hervey de Staunton, William de Dene, William de Mortimer, and Roger de 1 Interlined.
