Note
Dated on the guard to c. 1380, with reference to a grant to the petitioner of 10 July 1380, which would appear to have been issued in connection with this petition. This would seem to be the original petition, of which the petition at SC 8/128/6356 is a later copy, submitted with SC 8/128/6354.
