Note (Additional information about the record)
- One of a collection of petitions published on pages 387ff of Rot. Parl., vol I., which all seem to date from around 1322. This dating is confirmed by PROME, Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337, Rotuli Parliamentorum I, pp. 387-415, which dates these petitions to 15 or 16 Edward II (1321-1323), and by SC 8/31/1503, a petition from John Dargenteime against John de Coleworth concerning a manor in Boxgrove, which mentions that John de Coleworth recovered it by an assize of novel disseisin in the sixteenth year of the king's reign (8 July 1322 - 7 July 1323). Further confirmation is found in CCR 1318-23 p.584, where an unrelated item dated at Durham, 30 July 1322, mentions John de Bousser (the justice mentioned in SC 8/31/1503) as a justice currently taking assizes in Sussex.
