- Nature of request
- John atte Wode and Alice his wife, of Gloucestershire, state that they have previously petitioned the king, complaining that Anselm Gyse, in conspiracy with James Clifford and others, had John atte Wode indicted of felony and imprisoned for three and a half years, and in the meantime seized his lands and tenements. The king granted a commission to enquire into this, but James and Anselm procured a biased jury, which the petitioners successfully challenged; however, another inquest was later taken, by the same people, by Robert Poyns and Robert Whityngton, two of the original commissioners. John Berkele and Richard Ruyal, also members of the commission, are in London and can attest to this, and the petitioners ask the lords and commons to summon them before them in parliament, and question them on this matter, and to ordain a remedy for the petitioners.
