- Name(s)

- King and council.
- Nature of request
- Stephen Aleyn states that he was given the office called 'Bodere' in Dover castle until restitution was made to him of a sum of money stolen from him at sea, but that he was expelled from this without being given another office and without restitution being made to him. When he petitioned that the king might either renew his commission of the office, or grant full execution of the arrest begun against the Count of Hainault's men, parliament agreed, and the king promised to give him an office, but has not done so. He therefore requests an office or execution of his arrest, as he has suffered delays and damages for seventeen years and more.
- Nature of endorsement
- The council is not yet minded to grant arrest.
- Places mentioned
- London
- Henau (Hainault), [Belgium]

- Westminster.
