This murage charter {of 1360} was afterwards renewed, and on 20th October, 1374, a writ issued to the sheriff of Connaught, to distrain the provost and bailiffs of Galvy, by all their lands and chattels, until they should render an account of the murage and pavage by them levied and renewed, of all saleable commodities coming to the town. Rot. Mem. 48 Edw. III. (Hardiman)
Does this mean the provost and bailiffs had renewed murage without reference to royal authority?
