Note (Additional information about the record)
- In October 1331 justices were ordered to supersede the process brought by the petitioner against Nicholas Shirlok concerning the office of alnage (CCR 1330-3, p. 391). Since this petition mentions Griffin (Shirlok's predecessor) but not Shirlok himself, it is possible that this petition is earlier.
