Comesedieu requests that it be ordered that he be able to have the office again according to his charter.
- Nature of endorsement
- Because someone else is tenant of the office for the term of his life, he should come into Chancery and show his charter, and have writs to make the office holder come, and the chancellor is to hear their arguments and take what council he thinks necessary to do justice.
