- Maud, widow of William Daumarl, formerly Sheriff of Devon, who died in the king's service in Scotland, during his last expedition, makes four requests:1) She requests a writ to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer to have payment by instalments of her husband's debt for the arrears of his account rendered at the Exchequer at the quinzaine of Easter last, which money is still to be levied.2) She requests a writ to the Sheriff of Devon to levy the debt by a quorum nomina which she will give him for it, so that he can be charged and she discharged.3) She requests that she might have a writ to appoint an attorney to render an account for the time when her late husband had no account before he died.4) She requests a remedy against the Scots who are in the king's keeping for killing her husband and taking his horses and goods to the sum of £200 - which goods the Earl of Moray and his men had.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- William Daumarl was Sheriff of Devon between 7 November 1333 and 7 October 1335 (CFR 1327-37 p.460 is dated at Berwick upon Tweed on that date). He was succeeded by John de Chiddeleigh for just under a month, which suggests that he died in office. This would fit with the mention in the petition of his last account being at the quinzaine of Easter last, and his widow's need to employ an attorney for the period for which he did not account, and would suggest that the petition was presented between his death and the following Easter - so in late 1335 or early 1336.CCR 1333-7 p.542 is dated at Walsingham, 12 February 1336.
