222. Matheus Bukerel rectatus de receptamento Galfridi de Taxstede utlagati, venit et defendit receptamentum illud et ponit se super veredictum maioris et aldermannorum Civitatis de bono et malo. Et major et aldermanni dicunt super sacramentum suum quod fecerunt domino regi et in fide qua ei tenentur, quod predictus Matheus non est culpabilis de receptamento illo. Ideo inde quietus.
Matthew Bukerel, charged with harbouring Geoffrey of Thaxted, an outlaw, comes and denies the harbouring, and puts himself upon the verdict of the mayor and aldermen of the City for good and ill. The mayor and aldermen say upon the oath which they made to the king and the faith in which they are bound to him, that Matthew is not guilty of the habouring. Therefore he is quit. |
