He asks the king to grant him their lands, tenements and rents, which Sandwich has taken into the king's hands by reason of a bond made by Gilbert on the island of Guernsey. Grandison's bailiffs now remove by force and distrain contrary to custom from a parcel of land in the parish of St Andrew (which escheated to Gilbert from his father) and 36s ... in the aforesaid parish. The petitioner has also been deprived of a fee called St Eleine's fee in the aforesaid parish.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The guard gives two possible dates: c. 1301 and c. 1322). The hand, and the apparently positive outcome of the petition in CCR 1296-1302, p. 418, indicate that the earlier date is the more likely and has been chosen here. The date of c. 1331 is suggested (without references) by Channel Islands Petitions, pp. 65-6.
