- Nature of endorsement
- Let it be ordered to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer that when they have viewed the rolls and remembrances of the Exchequer, if they are able to find that the burgesses made a fine for fifty marks for the reasons contained in the petition but not only for the tenth money, then they are to do justice to the burgesses discharging them of the demand.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1317-1318 because it seems likely that it is closely linked to SC 8/71/3511. The hands are very similar in the petitions and their responses, and the addition of 'Ebor' Scardebur' on the face of both petitions all suggest the contemporaneousness of these petitions. In addition the king was at York throughout September 1317, so it is possible that the petitions were both presented at this occasion.
