We have also granted to the same Richard and to his heirs the amercements of the aforesaid view of frankpledge if any befall, so that the aforesaid sheriff of Suffolk take or have nought of those amercements. We have also granted to the same Richard and to his heirs for ever that they may have a market every week on Tuesday at his manor of Halesworth, and that he may have every year at his aforesaid manor of New Market a fair lasting for three days, to wit on the Eve of the Apostles Simon and Jude and on the day and on the morrow, with all the liberties and free customs to such markets and fairs appertaining so that the aforesaid market and the aforesaid fair be not to the hurt of the neighbouring markets and fairs.
