He asks the King to annul these proceedings, and to restore him to his previous estate, and John and Thomas might not be hurt in their freehold, inheritance, goods or chattels, by any outlawry pronounced against them in Blaenllyfni and Dinas before 22 March, in the King's twenty-fourth year [1446]; and that these outlawries might be declared void.
