Note
The petition is dated to 1324 as it seems to be part of a file of petitions and other documents that dates to this time, and because part of the petitioner's request might have been granted in a close roll entry of 22 April 1324, thought the surname there is Dautre not atte Halle (CCR 1323-7, p. 177).Although a note that precedes SC 8/346/E1392 states that petitions SC 8/346/E1392-E1399 are probably the remains of a file dating to c. 1324, the dating of SC 8/346/E1396 to 1308-c. 1320 may indicate that the attribution of these files to a putative file of c. 1324 is incorrect. It is unclear whether E1396 is a stray amongst other petitions that do belong to a file of c. 1324, or whether this group of files should be individually dated and do not in fact belong to a file of c. 1324. However, for most of these petitions there is little to indicate a problem with the dating of c. 1324.
