Of the twenty-fifth year [Mich. 1241—Mich. 1242].
In the same year, W. de Haverhill being chamberlain, and Thomas of Durham and John Viel, junior, sheriffs, a certain clerk of London, named Martin, was found murdered in the street leading to St. Martin Outwich. John, chaplain of St. Martin Vintry and William his subdeacon were arrested and imprisoned at Newgate for the death. Afterwards, William and Walter, Martin's brothers, came thither before the justices appointed to deliver the gaol, and appealed them of the death. They were accordingly delivered to the ordinary of the place, before whom they purged themselves. A certain William le Keb, a layman, fled for the death and is suspected. Therefore let him be put in exigent and outlawed according to the form etc. He had chattels worth 5s., for which the sheriffs are to answer. William was in frankpledge ; therefore the frankpledge is in mercy. |
