252. William de Boys killed William le Clerk in Bradestrate. He at once fled and is suspected, so let him be exacted and outlawed according to the custom of the City.' No chattels, but he was harboured in the ward of Anketin de Auverne [Farringdon ward], so the alderman and the whole ward are in *mercy. Nicholas de Goreham `fruter' and John le Cordwaner, two neighbours, do not come and are not suspected. Nicholas was attached by Andrew le Barbur and Michael le Tailur, John by James the Cook and Richard le Barbur. So they are in *mercy. [cf. 568]
