- Lovell asks that Clopton and other justices be appointed to examine various accusations made against him by Manston.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Commissions in the terms requested were issued on 6 December 1391 and 11 February 1393 (CPR 1391-6, pp.79, 238). Manston's petition at SC 8/63/3111 is clearly the original petition, referred to here and in the second commission as being presented in the 'last parliament held at Westminster', and giving rise to the first commission. The present petition must therefore have been presented to the following Winchester parliament of 1393 (possibly in response to a second petition from Manston), and resulted in Clopton's second commission.
