PLEAS OF THE CROWN 1 EDWARD I [1272-3]'
238. Adam de Durham encountered Richard de Castle Baynard and Richard de Pek of Norfolk, servants of Robert de Teyford, in the ward of Henry le Waleys [Cordwainer ward]. A quarrel broke out among them and Richard and Richard killed Adam. They at once fled and are suspected, so let them be exacted and outlawed according to the custom of the City.2 No chattels, but they were harboured in the ward outside frankpledge, so the alderman and the whole ward are in mercy. Robert de Teyford who was attached for the death, comes and is not suspected, so he is quit. All the neighbours come and are not suspected, so they are quit.

2. They were put in exigent for the first time on 20 July 1276 and twice thereafter in the husting of pleas of land (Husting Pleas of Land Roll 4, mm. id., 2d., 3d.) but the procedure was the subject of enquiry by the justices in 1321 (Eyre of London, 1321, i, 31-7; Lib. Gust., i, 333-8). |
