- Writ from King Edward II to John de Weston, chamberlain of Scotland. The burgesses of Berwick have shown by petition that they have incurred great expenses on the fortification and walling of the town against the Scots since the king’s last departure therefrom, and have asked him to grant them the fermes of the town, worth 300 marks annually, for three years, as a subsidy for several injuries done to them, as well as for the expenses they have incurred and will incur on the walling of the town. He orders Weston to hold any enquiry into the amount and nature of these expenses, to return the information and to refrain from levying the fermes meanwhile. York.
