de Northburgh, Roger

Nature of request
The petitioner shows that the archdeacon of Chester and others sued a writ of prohibition and wrongly took grievances outside of the court of Chester to the great prejudice of the estate of his church, in contravention of his special jurisdiction, which the petitioner has shown to the king at his council in Nottingham. There a writ was ordered to the justice and chamberlain of Chester for the annulment of the said prohibition, according to the transcript of the writ appended to this petition. Nevertheless this has not yet been done and the petitioner seeks a remedy of his powers, customs, and special jurisdiction.

Make a writ just as the other, and further legal proceedings etc.
