This went towards payment of the city's farm, as had been ordered by King John. Citizens, through the bailiff, had power of distraint for this money. William and the others owed 35d. of this toll, but when bailiffs attempted to make distraint, they resisted them by force to the contempt of the King and the delay of the payment of the farm against the peace, to damages of £200. William de Patheley and the others came by William Waldby their attorney, and say that they are in no way guilty of the aforesaid contempt, and place themselves on their country. Simon likewise. William claims that the toll is an innovation and demands judgement again. Thomas de Skelton denies John's grant of the toll [...]. m. 3d The others likewise claim that the toll does not go back as far as Simon claims. Jury, including men of York, called for Wednesday after feast of St. Matthew the Apostle; they confirm Simon's claim and assess damage at £20li.
