26. Ranulf de Brinkele came out of his house at night to light a candle in Wollelanel in the ward of Ralph Sparling [Billingsgate ward] and an unknown malefactor waylaid him and struck him with a knife so that he died forthwith in his own house. The malefactor at once fled and it is not known who he was. Henry le Keu, Richard Boles, Walter Jur', and William de Faversham, the four neighbours who were attached, do not come and are not suspected. Henry was attached by Austin de Wrotham and Alfred Oysel, Richard by Ralph le Portur and Reginald Wytside, Walter by Christian the Clerk and Henry le Reus, William by Simon le Reus and Walter Skete. So they are in mercy. Be it known that four neighbours should always be attached when anyone is killed feloniously. Because the chamberlain makes no mention of the neighbours in his roll, to judgment on him. [cf. 628]
