De anno vicesimo quarto.
143. Eodem anno Willelmo de Haverhulle existente camerario et Johanne de Gysorz et Michaele de Tovi existentibus vicecomitibus,' accidit quod
quidam ignotus inventus fuit submersus in fossato extra Aldresgate. Nullus inde male creditur. Judicium infortunium. Vicini attachiati veniunt et non male creduntur. Ideo inde quieti.
Of the twenty-fourth year [Mich. 1240—Mich. 1241].
In the same year, William of Haverhill being chamberlain, and John de Gysorz and Michael de Tovi sheriffs, an unknown man was found drowned in the ditch outside Aldersgate. No one is suspected. Judgment: misadventure. The neighbours attached come and are not suspected. Therefore they are quit.
