Pro hominibus Bristolli.—Rex concessit probis hominibus Bristolli ad villam suam Bristolli claudendam quasdam consuetudines capiendas in eadem villa. Et, cum assignata fuerit hominibus regis de Radeclive quedam portio muri dicte ville Bristolli facienda, mandatum est ballivis Bristolli quod tam de mercandisis ipsorum hominum de Radeclive propriis quam de mercandisis alienis intrantibus et exeuntibus ad duas portas Bristolli versus Radeclive, ubi eisdem hominibus de Radeclive assignata est sua portio muri claudenda et ubi predictas consuetudines ceperunt de permissione eorum, ut dicunt, in auxilium sue portionis claudende, ipsos homines de Radeclive predictas consuetudines capere permittant, sicut ab eis capiuntur alibi in eadem villa ad residuum predicti muri faciendum. Teste rege apud Bradenestok', v. die Augusti.
