- Nature of request
- The petitioners request that they not be impeached regarding ancient debts held against John de Middleton, former victualler of Calais.

The Treasurer had been unable to proceed [due to Eccleshale's death], and Middelton's executors distributed his goods and chattels according to his will.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Middelton appears to have served as Victualler of Calais during the 1350s, while Eccleshale was Treasurer of Calais around the same time, and was dead by 6 January 1362 (CPR 1361-4, p.152). A roll of Eccleshale as controller of Middelton for 33-35 Edward III (1359-61) is at E 101/174/8, and given that this appears to be from the end of both men's periods of office, the petition probably dates from soon afterwards.
