He has complained of this in Chancery and the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer were ordered to enquire of this, and Woodton was assigned, and the inquisition was returned into the Exchequer, but nothing has been done.
- Nature of endorsement
- [The response is largely illegible, though it appears to be as it is printed in Cole].He should have a writ of the great seal containing the effect of the petition directed to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer, and if the inquisition was taken in accordance with the form of the previous writ of Chancery sent to them, and returned into the Exchequer, they to proceed according to that inquisition and do justice to the petitioner.
