Nature of request

Nature of endorsement
Because it is accounted by letters patent to the community of Great Yarmouth that the counts have been several times requested to do justice to the petitioner, and the counts have done nothing then let it be ordered by a writ in Chancery to distrain goods and chattels of noble and common men of Holland and Zeeland until the sum contained in the letters testimonial according to the law and customs used by merchants.
