Joan Wake

Nature of endorsement
On the first, the sheriff is to be told in writing to inform the treasurer how much he pays for the toll each year.On the second, she is to have respite until the quindene of Easter.
Places mentioned
Solway [Firth], [Cumberland]
Arthuret, [Cumberland].
People mentioned
Sheriff of Cumberland.
Note
Dated by PROME and Rot. Parl. Vol. I to the Carlisle parliament of 1307. A note on the guard links this petition with SC 8/311/15579, a petition explicitly from Joan Wake requesting respite from debts, also from that date. However, the two documents are very different, and although the present petition was presumably once a continuation of another document, there is no clear indication that these two were ever joined together.
