Nature of request
James, son and heir of Nicholas Daudeleye, who is under age and in the king's wardship, states that the inquest held in a plea between Philip de Say, parson of the church of Hodnet and Geoffrey de Wolseleye, parson of the free chapel of Marchamley, concerning the tithes of the free chapel of Marchamley, which is of James' advowson was procured by Philip, and that if judgment is rendered on this inquest, James' inheritance will be diminished while he is under age and in the king's wardship, which the king ought not to allow to happen. Therefore he asks the king to order the justices that judgment in this case should not take place until James is of age. And a plea is still pending between the parsons in Court Christian, through which it is clear that the inquest has erred, as can be seen from the record.

Note
The petition says that Philip claims that Geoffrey carried off his corn (which Geoffrey claims to be part of the tithes rightly belonging to him) from the sixth to the eleventh years of the present king (Edward II) - from 1312-1318. This dating is supported by the letter (SC 8/31/1516A) from him to his justice Henry Lescrope, asking him to proceed with caution in this case, by the complaints of Philip in SC 8/31/1516B, which mention attacks between the sixth and tenth years, and by the complaints of Geoffrey de Wolseleye: CPR 1317-21 p.94 is dated at Westminster, 22 November 1317, and CPR 1321-4 p.146 is dated at Gloucester, 9 February 1322. The procured inquisition mentioned in this petition is probably that in SC 8/31/1516B: it certainly finds in favour of Philip. Given that it took place at the quinzaine of Hilary, 15 Edward II (1322), and the parties are given a date at the quinzaine of Easter to hear judgment, this petition should then be dated to between the quinzaine of Hilary and the quinzaine of Easter 1322.
