- The petitioner asks for a settlement from Geoffrey Martin concerning a dispute between them.

Nor did he attach his seal. He had no knowledge of the matter until he was taken and imprisoned in danger of his life and forced to make a release of his rights. He was arraigned concerning the false statute before Bradstone and his associate justices (as confirmed and recorded in the rolls that Notton keeps), of which trespass the petitioner was fined to the king and settled to him (i.e. by final agreement), but Geoffrey Martin has not made any settlement to the petitioner.
