Note
The chancery writ (C 81/557 no. 10412) with which this petition was formerly enclosed (together with the petitions at SC 8/181/9010 and SC 8/187/9348) is dated 21 January 1396. Clearly the petitions were presented at some point prior to that date, and probably after another group of almost identical petitions (SC 8/38/1387-8, C 81/555 no.10282B), themselves associated with another chancery writ dated 19 October 1395 (C 81/555 no.10282A).
