I will affectionately desire you to make inquisitions that trial may be had both in London and Lynn (Line) against the false coinage (cunze) of gold and the half-penny pieces, and favour me with the names of those who are traders and homebringers of the same. Likewise in Lynn there is a Scotchman called Murray with a goldsmithy for false coins.—Bruntyland, 19 August, 1590.

Owyn of whom you complained by your King's direction for certain spoils done upon the Earl of Orkney, and one Cokborne, is committed to prison according to your desire, and presses either that you will charge him with somewhat to be proved against him or that he may be enlarged according to law.
