Eodem anno accidit eadem die quod pro morte predicti Simonis captus fuit quidam homo Galfridus nomine, et ductus fuit ad prisonam de Newegate, et Johannes Shep serviens vicecomitis Londoniarum sicut debuit ipsum deliberare in prisonam, ita nequiter proiecit eum in fundum prisone, quod predictus Galfridus fregit collum et mortuus est, et Johannes Shep fugit pro morte illa. Ideo exigatur et utlagetur. Catalla eius xij d. unde vicecomites respondebunt et fuit in franco plegio in warde Ricardi de Hadestoke.1 Ideo in misericordia et inquiratur de franco plegio.
1. Dowgate Ward, according to Beaven, i, 367.
In the same year, on the same day, there was arrested for Simon's death a man called Geoffrey. He was conducted to the prison of Newgate, and John Shep, serjeant of the sheriff of London, whose duty it was to commit him to prison, flung him so violently into the deepest part of the prison that he broke his neck and died. John Shep fled for that death. Therefore let him be put in exigent and outlawed. He had chattels worth 12d., for which the sheriffs will answer, and he was in frankpledge in the ward of Richard of Hadstock. Therefore his frankpledge is in mercy, and let enquiry be made concerning the pledge. |
