Extract

The common people: complaint that those summoned to appear before justices at inquests and assizes do not come for fear of death and other mischief perpetrated by those who do not fear the law, and suitors are thus delayed in recovering by default of suit and greatly impoverished. Request that the king will not suffer this to continue.
