He was removed from this position on 2 March 1331, however, possibly due to Edward III, who replaced important officers after he was crowned; there is, however, no evidence that Stonor was politically active.
He was reappointed as Chief Justice on 7 July 1335, but removed on 30 November 1341 after another purge of the administration.
[1] Stonor continued to serve as Chief Justice from 1342 until 22 February 1354, where he left due to weakness, dying the same year.
Other work included special inquiries into the disorders in 1327 at Bury St Edmunds and Abingdon Abbey and in 1335 at Oxford, official misconduct in 1323 and 1331–1334 and trying rebels in 1323, 1327, and 1331.
He was also involved in overseas commissions, including reviewing the trial of Otto Grandson for misadministering Channel Islands in 1319 and diplomatic work in France in 1324 and Spain in 1325.
