Pope Gregory IX remits to the patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishop of Tyre and the abbas Sancti Samuelis de Monte Gaudii Premonstratensis ordinis Jerosolimitane diocesis a dispute that has arisen between the bishop of Acre and the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. The case has already been heard in Rome, where the Hospital of St John was represented by its procurator, frater Andreas de Fogia. The bishop of Acre claimed that the Hospitallers of St John were refusing to pay the full twentieth of harvests in Casale Alba and of chickens at Cabor, contributing only a payment of 5 besants instead. They had refused to pay the twentieth on their vineyards at Manuet for the last 2 years. They were refusing the bishop his rights over those who chose burial with them. These were infringements of the agreement entered into with the church of Acre and the bishop was losing 500 Saracen besants as a result.
