55. In the same year, William de Haselbech [being chamberlain] and the same being sheriffs; John de Bordray and Roger de Thele canons of Holy Trinity London were together in the priory and a quarrel arising between them Roger struck John on the head with a staff so that he died forthwith. Roger was at once arrested and kept in chains at the priory until he was delivered to Newgate gaol where before Laurence de Brok justice of gaol delivery he was handed over to Fulk Basset then bishop of London who claimed him as his clerk. The mayor and aldermen say in the faith [in which they are bound to the king] that such was the procedure in this case and that Roger is dead. Therefore nothing.
