- Nature of endorsement
- [On face]: On the council's advice, at the request of the treasurer of England, the King has granted this bill which was examined before the treasurer and Bealknap, Skipwith and Percy, the King's justices.[On dorse]: Because the King has granted this petition on the council's advice, the council was made to examine on this matter Knyvet and all the King's justices and serjeants, who say that the King and council can grant the writ of nisi prius to take the inquest. Whereupon it was agreed by the council on 7 May in the second year (1379) that the chancellor should cause a writ to be sent to the justices of the King's Bench to grant the said writ of nisi prius in this case.
