Note (Additional information about the record)
- CCR 1402-5 p.356 is dated 1 July 1404, and would seem to be either in response to the petition or to a later one (it mentions earlier orders that were not obeyed): but as both the petition and CCR 1402-5 p.356 mention the assault taking place on '12 May last', it cannot be much later.
