- Nature of request
- The petitioners state that they were seised of a hostel called 'Battesyn' in the parish of St Martin in Oxford, but that Alice Perrers, wishing to disinherit them, procured an inquest of office held by the Escheator, which found, falsely, that it had been given to various people for the use of Merton College, and to bar them from the traverse allowed to them by statute, had Edward III make enfeoffment of the hostel to various people, by his letters patent, with the intention of receiving the profits, and of having feoffment for herself and her heirs when she wanted. The petitioners have been told to sue a scire facias, and ask that these letters patent might be repealed, so that they can have their traverse.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Like SC 8/94/4691, this has a later endorsement which refers specifically to petitions against Alice in the parliament of 2 Richard II (October 1378). CPR 1377-80 p.550, dated 5 October 1380, which would seem to represent the final stage of the matter.
