- Petitioners
- Thomas de la Lok of Bray.

- Nature of request
- By the charter of King John la Lok held a farm of one custom levied from ships passing by Bray in the River Thames, namely 6s. from every ship laden with wood (for which farm he pays 5 marks annually to the king's exchequer), but since so many of the said ships are in the King's name he cannot levy his farm from them. La Lok requests that he be allowed to collect his farm from such ships.
- Nature of endorsement
- Let the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer hear la Lok's complaint and if people claim their ships laden with wood are the King's when they are not and thus avoid the custom, they should make those people come before them and do justice.
