Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to '?? 1324' with reference to C 49/5/12 and CPR 1324-7 p.202. CPR 1324-7 p.202, however, is a pardon for the farm of the city for two years, and is not relevant, and C 49/5/12 refers to SC 8/54/2685. However, the petition would appear to date from around that time.
