They have sued to Langley and his council for restitution but they have answered that the petitioners should sue to the king.
- Nature of endorsement
- Let Langley's council be called to inform the king's council on this business in the presence of the petitioners.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is likely to date to 1342-1362 because Edmund of Langley is not styled as earl of Cambridge, and it is likely that the petitioners would have used the title had it been bestowed. In addition it is Langley's council that is referred to in the petition and response suggesting that we are dealing with his council during his minority.
