He has sued many writs and letters of the privy seal to have Richard Tregoys appear to find security of the peace and to do and receive what the King would decide, but Richard has refused to appear. He asks the commons to ask the King, by authority of parliament, to allow him to sue an appeal of maiming against Richard Tregoys.
