- Nature of request
- 1) Haliwell requests that payments he made to Welsh soldiers be allowed on his account as he was sent to Conway to pay 500 soldiers led by Llwyd, and paid a second sum at Chester, but 50 of this number were wounded, maimed or killed in a fight of the men of Chester and did not make it to Carlisle, and Bedwyn will not allow the sum in his account.2) He further requests that sums be allowed him for the times that he was sent to Ireland for his expenses and wages.
- Nature of endorsement
- [On face]1) The chief lords at another time answered these petitions and it was endorsed in the manner that follows.2) The treasurer and barons of the Exchequer be ordered by writ according to the allegation of Haliwell to cause someone to be assigned from the Exchequer to hear the account for the whole of his time, and view the letters that he has just as is contained in the first petition, and do justice and a reasonable allowance.3) William de Herlaston saw those other petitions formerly answered, and the answer endorsed on the same from the hand of Robert de Askeby in the aforesaid manner.4) All this business that was at another time answered is lost by Haliwell's illness, and by the long stay of Chancery in the north.[On dorse]Let it be done according to this petition, and according to the other answers made to this petition.
