Nature of request

John Warde, esquire of the Duke of Gloucester, states that one Simon Bodenham, of London, vintner, was seised of certain lands and tenements in Denham for term of his wife's life, and that he and his wife granted their estate in these lands and tenements to him for a certain rent, and with Simon's aid, the petitioner purchased the reversion of these lands and tenements from one Richard Hungate for 150 marks. The release made by Richard of this reversion was delivered to Simon, and the money paid to Richard; but then Simon died, and his executors made away with the release, and sold the lands and tenements. John has been expelled with force and arms, and his goods and corn destroyed. He asks that he might be restored to his possession, and receive damages.
