He requests a writ of Chancery to the Treasurer and Chamberlains of the Exchequer to pay him, and if there is no money to pay him, an assignment where he can be paid promptly.
- Nature of endorsement
- The Treasurer, Barons and Chamberlains of the Exchequer are to be ordered that, when they have seen the bills mentioned by this petition, if they find that the debt is still due, they are to give him payment, allowance or assignment as soon as they conveniently can, receiving etc. and charging etc.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1327 seq. with reference to William de Melton and Roger de Northburgh as Keepers of the Wardrobe (1 December 1314 - 1 February 1316, and 1 February 1316 - 1 May 1322, respectively) and to the debts of the king's father. It seems likely that such a petition would be from the early years of Edward III, and the language of the endorsement is like that of other petitions of the period concerning the king's debts.
