CLERK of the pipe, an officer of the exchequer, who having the accounts of all debts due to the king delivered out of the remembrancer's office, charges them in a great roll folded up like a pipe. He writes out warrants to sheriffs, to levy the said debts on the goods and chattels of the debtors: and if they have no good, then he draws them down, to the treasurer's remembrancer, to write escheats against their lands.
