- Nature of request
- The Abbot and Convent of Lyre seek remedy in their case against the Deans of Wimborne, concerning sums relating to tithes in Shapwick and Kingston Lacy granted to them by Robert, former Earl of Leicester. They had granted these tithes to the former Dean of Wimborne in exchange for a payment of eight marks per year. However, another Dean then ceased payment of these eight marks, and although they have sued at common law, they have not received justice as the Dean is a royal appointment. They therefore request that either the tithes are returned to them, or that the eight marks are paid, or that they be allowed to recover it at common law.
- Nature of endorsement
- He should sue at the common law if he wishes.
