He currently holds these two parts, and the third part, for the valuation.He also asks that he might be able to acquire lands in Ireland to the value of £40, for himself and his heirs, notwithstanding the statute against this, and that he might be able to enfeoff others with the lands he holds already.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- CFR 1327-37 p.304 is dated 18 March 1332, and seems to precede this petition, and CPR 1330-4 p.271 is dated 6 April 1332, and seems to be the result of it. The petition would therefore seem to date from the end of March 1332, which would accord with the death of Richard Fitz Thomas Fitz Gerald in July 1331.
