He had a grant of the magisterial serjeancy of the forests of the hundred of Macclesfield and Leeds from Randle Blunderville, Earl of Chester.  The powers of this office were the highest the Earl could bestow, as it placed in several cases at this disposal of the serjeant the lives of his subjects without delay and without appeal.  He held rents of the constable of Chester, Edmund de Lacy - connection to the Lacy family, the Barons of Halton & Earls of Lincoln. He also witnessed a number of charters with leading members of the county society.  He witnessed over forty charters.53563
