Nature of request
The petition states that an oyer et terminer was granted to John de Hondlo in Oxfordshire and another in Buckinghamshire, against those who had carried off his goods by force, and that John de Stonore, Richard de la Bere and other justices were assigned to this. They sat for three days and then could not attend to the matter through pressure of other business. John and Hugh ask that the commissions might be altered and new names entered in the commissions that John de Hondlo will send the Chancellor, according to his instructions. And they request a writ to John de Stonore to return the present commissions to Chancery to be amended, as he will not do so without one, or that they might be made anew from examination of the rolls of Chancery.
