At the last audit and leet all the King's tenants of Bromfield and Yale were, by reason of their fee-farms, discharged from the service of collecting the King's rents in that lordship. Hopes that the judgement and order of the King's commissioners will prevail, so as not to expect bailiffs of that kind to be appointed any more, but to appoint bailiffs of his own for the future. To ease him of the trouble of inquiring after the rents due in each manor, they send him particulars of the rents heretofore received by each bailiff. Signed: Tho. Powell; Tho.
