- Nature of request

Nonetheless he is still destrained by a summons of the Exchequer for the £100 so that he requests that a remedy be made for him so that he is not wrongly charged.
- Nature of endorsement
- He is to have a writ in Chancery according to the form of the statute, and when the chancellor has been informed that Wroxhale is pursuing before the justices of the king by writ to them upon this ordered, then a writ of Chancery is ordered to the treasurer and barons that they surcease their demand pending his suit.
