- Nature of request
- The people of Nottingham complain of various exactions committed by Alexander de Gonaldeston, verderer of Sherwood Forest. They ask for a writ to the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire for them to choose another verderer in his place, and that justices and great men might be appointed to inquire into, and to hear and determine, Alexander's extorsions.
- Nature of endorsement
- Because it is attested by Nicholas de Cantelupe that the said Alexander is not suitable for various reasons, a writ is to be issued to choose another in his place. And certain justices are also to be assigned to hear the complaints of all those who wish to complain about the wrongs committed by the said Alexander, and further to hear and determine the matter of these wrongs, and to do justice, both at the suit of the king and of others.
