He requests a remedy.3) He states that the weir in the River Trent leading to the castle mills is broken, and the mills also in disrepair because of this, and asks that the weir and mills might be repaired swiftly.4) He states that the King and council have sent the Earl of Moray to him for safe-keeping in the castle, and that he has been there since the Friday after Martinmas; he asks that he might have some money for his expenses.5) He asks that he might be discharged of the keeping of Roger de Moubray, who has been in his keeping since the Nativity of St John the Baptist a year ago, and that he might be sent elsewhere.6) He states that there is a new forester of Bestwood hay, and he refuses to deliver wood for work on the castle, mills and weir without warrant.
