- Nature of request
- John de Cheyndut makes three complaints against William de Pasford, minister of Henry de Wylyngton.1) He states that Henry purchased the manor of Lanteglos, which now ought to be the King's escheat, but that William is trying to deny the King this escheat by producing a false charter made to one Christina de Lomenc.2) He states that William collected various sums for the King's treasure when Henry was Sheriff of Cornwall and of Glamorgan, and kept them for himself.3) In a case involving the killing of the crew of a Spanish ship by the crew of another ship, he let the malefactors go free, taking certain wines from them.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated by Petitions Relating to Wales p.153 to 'c. 1321-early 1322' from the period when Henry de Wylyngton was Sheriff of Glamorgan. However, the petition would seem to suggest that he is now dead, and the reference to Roger Damory would seem to suggest a date of c. 1322.
