Note
The petition can be dated to 1327 by the commission of oyer and terminer issued to the justices concerning the complaint of the petitioner (CPR 1327-30, p.80). However, the response to the petition merely states that 'he should sue at the common law', and there is no mention of the commission, so the commission may be a result of further actions by the petitioner.
