Nature of request
The burgesses of Grimsby state that the people of Old Clee, Itterby, Hole, Thrunscoe and Humberston, little vills and hamlets only two leagues from Grimsby, have within the last ten years established a market where by rights there should be none, diverting merchants from Grimsby, losing the king the customs and other profits he used to have from the town. They request grace and a remedy.
