CLERK of the Pipe, an officer of the Exchequer, who having the account 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 such debts on the goods and chattels of the debtors; and if they have no goods, then he draws them down to the treasurer's remembrancer to write estreats against their lands.
