Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1327. In all likelihood the oyer and terminer commission issued on 4 March 1327 relates to this petition, but as the petition was answered that the petitioner should 'sue at the common law' the oyer and terminer does not seem to have been an immediate response to the petition (CPR 1327-30, p.80).
