King.
Nature of request
Belhous requests that it be granted and commanded that he may hold in peace his share of the manor of Newington at the extent without being charged with various other debts in addition until the extent has been paid as he holds two-thirds of the manor rendering the value according to the extent each year but because his father owed debts from the time he was sheriff of Cambridgeshire and various external debts are coming in demand on this manor for which the sheriff does not forbear to levy part by virtue of the fieri facias nor to answer for great issues by the writ of grand distress notwithstanding that, charging the tenement with more than it can bear or even the half of that, and through these oppressive actions he is unable to attain to the levying or payment of the survey valuation nor even to work the manor as he ought.
Nature of endorsement
He should go to the Exchequer, and let it be considered if he should hold by the extent, and if he should hold by the extent then let it be ordered to the sheriff that he should not permit the petitioner to be distrained for other debts.
Places mentioned

Hythe, Kent.
People mentioned
Thomas de Belhous (Bellhouse), late sheriff of Cambridge and father of the petitioner.
