1222. THE KING TO THE SHERIFF OF GLOUCESTER GREETING.

We command you that you do not suffer the market which hitherto has

been held at Maurice de Gant's manor of Randwick, and which is to the

injury of our town and market of Bristol, and of other neighbouring

markets, as we have surely learnt. And that you cause the houses built

there on account of the market to be removed without delay. So that

neither ships come thither nor a market is there held otherwise than

was done in the time of the Lord John, King, our father.

_Cal. Rot. Lit. Claus._ (Rec. Com.), I. 499.
