- Nature of request
- Cam and Crapwell show that Archer, by his great might and power with force, entered into certain lands and tenements of theirs in the towns of Malling and 'Ingebarow' in the parish of Birling, and took and carried away certain goods of theirs to the value of 20 marks, and still retains them. He has also indicted them claiming the lands and tenements are his as of right, but has refused to produce anything to prove his title which is contrary to all law and conscience. They request that the premises are considered, and how they are without remedy in that Archer is so mighty in goods, and they are so poor, unless the prince shows them his gracious lordship.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1471-1483 on the basis that a cover note preceding this file of petitions indicates that the petitions SC 8/344/E1262-E1316B mostly date to the period 1481-1483, and nearly all appear to belong to the period 1471-1483, this latter date being the dates that Edward Plantagenet, Edward IV's eldest son, held the principality of Wales and the county of Chester. Throughout this file, the latter date range has been adopted where no evidence survives to indicate more specific dates.
