Nature of endorsement
Coram domino rege.The Treasurer and Barons are to be ordered that, when they have examined the tallies and searched the accounts etc., if they find that the King was served with this, they are to do what is reasonable; and if the King was not served with it, they are to have the receivers called and do justice.

Note
Dated on the guard to '? c. 1324' with reference to SC 8/67/3335. SC 8/67/3335 and SC 8/66/3300 are not very helpful in dating the petition: although, from the similarities in the language, SC 8/67/3335 would seem to be contemporary. However, it is clearly from Edward II's reign, and, from the French endorsement, probably from the 1320s.
