any person (or persons) for the payment of any sum (or sums) of
money or for any annuity or yearly payment to be had by them

otherwise, shall not be valid for any payment to be had from the

Oct. 21. Whereas in a great council of Edward III lately held at West-
minster the magnates and commons of the realm, in return for

the alnage of cloths, granted to the said king a subsidy on all
cloths for sale, as well of one colour as another, to be taken from
the seller in addition to the customs due thereon, to wit, 011 every
cloth of assize without grain 4d., and on the half cloth 2d., on
every cloth of scarlet of assize Qd., and on the half cloth 3d., on
every cloth of half grain of assize od., and on the half cloth 2^d.,
and on every cloth exceeding the half cloth of assize by three ells
or more and not being a whole cloth of assize, and on every cloth
exceeding the whole cloth of assize by three ells or more, an
amount in proportion to the rate for a whole cloth of the same
sort, provided always that nothing be paid on any cloths made
by any one for the clothing of himself and his household, or
on cloths sealed with the seal of the collector of the subsidy on
which the subsidy has already been paid once by the seller, and
that all cloths exposed for sale before being so sealed shall be
forfeit to the king and taken into the king's hand by the collector
or alnager or their deputy, or by the bailiffs of the town where
they shall happen to be found ; and whereas in the same council
it was ordained that the king's alnager should cause cloths for
sale to be measured and sealed with a seal whereby the measure-
ment thereof might be known, and should take from the seller
31 HENRY VI. 9
1452 Membrane 24 — cont.
for every whole cloth so sealed ^d., and for a half cloth %d., and
should not meddle with the alnage of any cloths except cloths
for sale ; and whereas in divers statutes it is contained that a
cloth of ' ray ' shall be 28 ells in length measured by the list and
5 quarters in breadth, and a cloth of colour 26 ells in length
measured by the back and 6 quarters in breadth, at least, and
half cloths in proportion ; and whereas in the Parliament of
17 Richard II it is ordained that any person of the realm may
make cloths of ' kerseys ' and other cloths of such length and
breadth as he please, and expose the same for sale and sell them
on payment of alnage, subsidy and other duties, to wit, on every
cloth and piece of cloth proportionably, any statute, ordinance,
proclamation, restriction or prohibition to the contrary notwith-
standing, and that no one shall sell any cloths or expose them for
sale until the cloths have been measured by the alnager and
sealed with the seal appointed for the purpose, under the penalties
contained in the statutes ; and whereas in the Parliament held
at Westminster on 1 March 7 Henry IV it was ordained that a
cloth of colour shall contain 28 ells in length measured by the
back absque conculcacione pannorum and 6| quarters in breadth,
and that the makers of cloths thereafter shall forfeit any cloths
found by the alnager to be of less length or breadth, and that the
alnager shall take the said cloths and deliver them to the Ward-
robe to the king's use ; and whereas in a statute in the Parliament
of 1 1 Henry IV it is ordained that proclamation should be made
openly, in the West and elsewhere through the whole realm,
that no person making such cloths and dozens, in the WTest or
elsewhere within the realm, shall tack or fold together the same
until the alnager shall have duly made his search and survey of
the same, to see that they keep the length and breadth last
ordained by the statute aforesaid, under pain of forfeiture : the
king has committed to John Jonys, — -by mainprise of Philip
Raynold of the king's household, ' gentilman,' and Roger
Kirkeby of the town of Bristol, ' draper,' — the farm of the
subsidy and alnage of cloths for sale in the town and suburbs of
Bristol ; to hold from Michaelmas last for 10 years, together with
a moiety of the forfeiture of the said cloths for sale, rendering the
63Z. 3s. 4d. for which answer has been made to the king, and an
increment of 20s., yearly by equal portions at Easter and Michael-
mas, and answering at the Exchequer for the other moiety of the
said forfeiture ; with proviso that if any other person shall be
willing without fraud to give more by way of increment for the
said farm, then the said John shall be bound to pay so much if
he will have the farm. And further the king has appointed the
said John, in person or by deputy, to measure all cloths and
pieces of cloth for sale in the said town and suburbs before they

of the said grant and before the last payment of the same he is
unable to levy, or has been prevented from levying, the said
tenths or any part thereof from any ecclesiastical goods, benefices
and possessions of the province, whether assessed or not assessed,

hands, then the collector shall be wholly discharged from the
collection and payment of the said tenths in respect of such goods,
benefices and possessions, and shall be quit in the Exchequer,

spiritualities of all churches, whether cathedral, conventual,

goods of a predecessor, shall be charged to payment of the said
tenths or of any part thereof; and (2), — that help may be more
fully given to the needs of the church and realm of England, —

Canterbury and to be paid in the Exchequer at Martinmas next,

who are exempted from the collection of a tenth or tenths in the
diocese where their monasteries are situated ; provided always
that if the religious thus exempted from the collection of tenths
expressly renounce for ever their letters of exemption in the
Chancery by the Assumption next, and cause such letters to be
cancelled there, so as not to use hereafter the same or other like
letters of exemption, then they shall not be bound to pay anything
beyond the two tenths aforesaid. And answer is to be made for
the said tenths and moiety of a tenth at the terms aforesaid ; and
the archbishop is to certify the treasurer and barons of the
Exchequer on the morrow of St. Michael next at the latest of the

bury in their last convocation in the cathedral church of St. Paul,
London, begun on 7 February 1452[3] and continued from day to

of St. Oswald of Gloucester, of the diocese of York, to levy and
collect the second of the said tenths within the archdeaconry of
Hereford, and has so certified the treasurer and barons of the
Exchequer, pretending that the said prior and convent are of the
diocese of Worcester, although they are not, and although, even
if they were, he has no authority to appoint them to make such
collection, so that the said prior and convent, by a process out of
the Exchequer upon the certification aforesaid, fear that they
may hereafter be oppressed, since they have not hitherto levied,
and cannot levy, a penny of the subsidy ; which thing (unless a
swift remedy be applied) will result not only in the oppression of
the said prior and convent but also in loss to the king and delay
in the collection of the said tenth within the archdeaconry afore-
said ; — to appoint anew some trustworthy men of the clergy of
his diocese to levy and collect within the said archdeaconry the
second of the said tenths, which is payable in moieties of a tenth
