- Nature of request
- Richard Calf of Loughborough, merchant, states that last Lammas (1 August) Ralph de Crophull came to Hemington and Sutton Bonington, and took from him four sacks of good wool, worth forty-four pounds, which he had under lock and key in two chambers, carried them off and did as he pleased with them. He also broke the doors and the locks of the chambers - wrongly, and against the king's peace, and to Richard's great loss. He requests a remedy, as Ralph's power in his country is such that no-one can have recovery against him at the common law.
- Nature of endorsement
- He is to have a writ of the king's grace.[Further down the dorse is the beginning of another endorsement, probably deleted, 'He is to declare . . . [one more word, looking like 'unques', possibly written over an erasure]].
