Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition must date to around c. 1322. A writ was issued to the justices of the Bench concerning the resolution of the matter complained about in the petition. This is clearly not in direct response to the petition, but marks a later stage on from it, so that the petition must date to a short while before (CCR 1318-23, pp.442-3).
