- Nature of endorsement
- The petitioner is to show the king's orders in chancery, which is to view the same and appoint trustworthy men to enquire into the contents of the petition. If this enquiry verifies the same an order is to be made to the treasurer and barons of the exchequer that the petitioner's debt be allowed.
