They prayed, that in consideration of their situation on the frontier of the marches of Uriel, and the necessity of their being defended against the Irish enemies, the King would confirm the murage, pavage, and customs of things for sale for the residue of the 30 years, and thence for ever; and therefore the King confirmed the term of 30 years, and granted to the provost, burgesses, anil commons, that, that term being ended, they should have and hold the murage, pavage, and customs' aforesaid, to be taken of things for sale in form aforesaid, to them, their heirs and successors, provosts, burgesses, and commons of the same town for ever, without any account to be rendered to the King, his heirs, officers, or ministers.
