- Nature of request
- Richard Fitz John states that the executors of his brother, John Fitz John, have not paid John's debts as they were supposed to, but that he is constantly harassed for these debts. He also states that he is owed money by his late brother, but the executors will not give him payment or an allowance against the debts he owes his brother, but continue to levy this debt from him: so that he is being ruined. He asks that the debt he owes his brother's executors might be assigned to his brother's debtors, and that he might have an acquittance towards the executors; or that he might have security from the executors to keep him unharmed towards his brother's debtors before the debt that he owes them is levied, and that the debt that John owes Richard might be allowed against the debt that Richard owes them; or that he and the executors might come before the King and council and receive justice.
