The burgesses of Nottingham say that murage was granted to them for five years at the council of Stamford, but that a writ was then sent ordering them to cease taking murage until Christmas one year later. They ask that they might be able to have the grant of murage, notwithstanding this writ, and that a command might be given to cease demanding pontage instead, until the walls are complete.
