- Name(s)

- King and council.
- Occupation
- clerk
- Nature of request
- Heselarton shows that he was enfeoffed of the manor of Bolton Percy by Eustacia de Heslerton after it had come to Walter and Eustacia by an inquest. However a writ came out of Chancery to the sheriff of York to seize the manor into the king's hand and deliver it to Peter de Saltmarshe, Saltmarshe having obtained the writ by a commission from the time when he was sheriff disturbing and delaying Heselarton's right, and against the law of the land, and in error in supposing the manor to be in the king's hand. Heselarton requests that he be put back in possession of the manor from which he was ousted by the commission, so that he is not disinherited by such an error and new procedure of Chancery.
- Nature of endorsement
- It is ordered to the escheator by a writ under the great seal containing how the king ordered him by his writ of the date of the day enrolled in Chancery to remove his hand, and rejecting the return of the escheator upon the writ sicut alias as being not sufficient, and he is to be commanded that he remove the hand of the king from the manor of Bolton Percy saving each right. And the issues since the date of the first writ received by him are to be paid to those who ought to have had them by right. And also it is to be ordered by a writ of the same form to Peter de Saltmarshe that he not meddle in the same manor by virtue of his commission, and the issues that he has received after the date also be delivered to those who ought to have them by right.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition, as is noted on the guard, is probably misdated in Rot. Parl., vol II, p.72a-b, as it would seem that the response was issued on 7 June 1335 to William de Clapham, the escheator (CCR 1333-7, p.404). In addition the reference to William de Clapham as escheator should date this to after 8 March 1334 (List of Escheators, p.186). The reference to Piers or Peter de Saltmerssh as formerly being sheriff would also date this to after 27 January 1335 when Peter de Middleton replaced Saltmerssh as sheriff of Yorkshire (List of Sheriffs, p.161).
