He requests justice and a remedy, as the Sheriff has not yet accounted.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- CPR 1317-21 p.424 is dated 22 February 1320. The Abbot claims that he was expelled two weeks before Easter, 14 Edward II (1321), which would accord with Robert Bendyn's period of office as Sheriff (12 October 1319-16 June 1321). The petition would therefore seem to date from c. 1321.
