Description (What the record is about)

- Petitioners
- Agnes le Clerkes of Ogbourne.
- Name(s)
- Clerkes, Agnes
- Addressees
- King
- Nature of request
- Clerkes shows that Rameshull and others came into the town of Marlborough and attached a cart with four horses of Clerkes charged with five quarters of wheat as she was on her way to Salisbury to sell the wheat for the taxation of the fifteenth penny and other contributions made to the king and they beat and wounded her and broke her arm to her great damage. Secondly she complains that she was impleaded in the town at the suit of Rameshull and was assigned a day to wage her law, but she was prevented from doing so by Rameshull and others. Because of this she purchased a writ of Chancery against them, but by their menaces she was not able to make her suit. She requests remedy and aid for the duresses and grievances.
- Nature of endorsement
- It seems to the council that if the trespasses are as bad as the petition alleges then Clerkes should have a writ of oyer and terminer in Chancery to certain men a moderate fine.
