[223] The definite inclusion of tallage within the scope of these charges and aids prohibited to the royal control had to be asserted further: 1348. Condition of the grant made by Parliament that no tallage or similar exaction should be imposed by the Privy Council. 2 _Rot. Parl._ 200; Adams and Stephens, _Sel. Doc._ 113. 1352. The king openly declares that he is not intending again to impose a tallage. 2 _Rot. Parl._ 238. 1377. Parliament petitions, nearly in the words of the statute of 1340. King replies that only a great exigency would induce him to disregard the petition. 2 _Rot. Parl._ 365. [224] 2 Stubbs, _Const. Hist. Eng._ 557. [225] Bishop Stubbs conjectures 8th July, 1342, as the date of the grant. 2 _Const. Hist. Eng._ 412, note 2. [226] 2 _Rot. Parl._ 140, given in Adams and Stephens, 110.

[233] In 1334 the fifteenth and tenth was compounded for by a fixed sum, rather than in accordance with a strict assessment. Hereafter each town and each county knew for how much it would have to answer. The expression was the fiscal equivalent of £39,000, less about £6,000 for decayed towns. 1 Dowell, _Taxation and Taxes_, 89.
