Date
[1344]
Description
Petitioners
Roger de Salyngg
Name(s)
de Salyngg, Roger
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Salyngg requests that it be ordained that right be done to him as Robert de Hamelden and others came to his house at East Bedfont and broke in and took his goods and chattels, and took all his goods and chattels from elsewhere in Middlesex until he made a fine with Hamelden in £20 by statute merchant, and demanded that he released all manner of actions. He is unable to have the malefactors indicted because of the maintenance of the abbot of Westminster, and he requests further that the matter be determined by people of the two hundreds of East Bedfont, and not by tenants of the abbot.
Nature of endorsement
He should sue a writ in Chancery, a writ at the common law.
