At the same time he was demanded to be before Staunton and his companions at Winchester, and did not appear, and was distrained for this, his goods being taken and sold for less than their true value.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1324 as it seems to be part of a file of petitions and other documents that dates to this time. In addition, it seems likely that this petition is contemporary with another petition by the same petitioner on the same matter (SC 8/138/6896).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.
