Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition is a near duplicate of SC 8/147/7334, but has some minor differences and, crucially, does not mention the petitioners' twenty-two years' suit. It would therefore seem likely not to be quite contemporary with SC 8/147/7334, and quite possibly dates from c. 1324 like many others in this file.
