- Nature of request

- Nature of endorsement
- By reason that it is found by several inquests taken by sufficient men by force of a commission made to them and returned into Chancery, that Hardyng had received sums for damages made in the late unrest well in excess of what the damages amounted to, and that for other reasons declared in parliament the king, with the assent of the lords has granted a supersedeas of all writs made or sued by Hardyng sued against the petitioners until the next parliament.
