- Nature of request
- Memorandum recounting the presentation to the parliament which opened at Westminster on 17 September 1397 (and subsequently adjourned to Shrewsbury) of a petition by John Fraunceys, former sheriff of London. A transcript of the text and response of the petition (SC 8/221/11035) is given, followed by the findings of the resultant enquiry. This found that, as claimed by Fraunceys, Preston was not committed to the keeping of the sheriffs, but was indeed sent to the Fleet prison, where he remained in the custody of Saperton until he escaped, although he was subsequently recaptured. Fraunceys is to be discharged from all responsibility, and these findings added to the roll.
