- Nature of request
- Seynt Feye requests a writ to make the pays of Surrey come to enquire of the veracity of the testament of his father who died in Surrey, as his father died seised of a messuage in London and the Rowleys and others falsely forged his testament and enrolled it in the Guildhall in deceit of the court and in disinheritance of the petitioner, and it was ordered to the keeper of London that he enquire of this by the pays of London and Surrey but this did not happen because the keeper required a writ to make the pays of Surrey come.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1298 because it makes mention of the keeper of London in the main body of the petition, and to the mayor and sheriffs of London in the response, so that the petition seems to date to around when the king restored London's liberties in 1298.
