He requests a remedy.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Henry Burghersh was Chancellor between 2 July 1328 and 28 November 1330. The third petition states that William sued to the Bishop of Lincoln, 'adunqes chaunceler' for return of his goods: so this petition must date from after November 1330, and also from after the execution of the Earl of Kent on 19 March 1330. However, it probably does not date from long after these dates. John de Loudham was Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk between 2 February 1328 and 5 December 1330.The acknowledgements in CCR 1330-3 p.306 are dated 22 April 1331. William de Hoo is described as parson of the church of Dallinghoo.
