Nature of request
William de Staunford states that there was an error in a case between Ralph de Suthmenstre and Robert de Staunford concerning tenements in Southminster, which found in favour of Ralph, and that he has sued to bring the record of this case into King's Bench, and has shown the errors, and that the plea remains in judgment; but the judgment has been delayed since the quinzaine of Trinity in the twelfth year of the King's reign [1319], because the judges cannot agree. William asks that the justices might be ordered to bring the record into parliament, and that the judgment might be agreed on there, as the statute demands.
