![]() et ne inquisitio fiat super eum de prisis suis in comitatu Hereford.' Marcher lord Walter de Clifford, sheriff of Hereford, paid John 1,000 marks to look the other way - for having his good will and that no enquiry should be made upon him touching his exactions on the county of Hereford. The pipe roll of 1208 has an entry concerning the men of Cornwall who owed 500 marks 'for having a sheriff who will treat them justly and 200 that the king will remit his ill will towards them." There's an entry for enclosing his garden at Marlborough. John of Kempsey was paid for chests and carts to take the king's books across the sea. ad cistas et carretas ad ducendos libros R. John's interest in books is shown by an entry on the 1203 pipe roll.

On November 12th 1201, John wrote to his justiciar Geoffrey Fitzpeter, 'We lost our precious stones and jewels which we were wont to wear about our neck, which Bartholomew the bearer of these presents found and freely and faithfully brought us.
