60. Michael brother of Albod the Fleming was having a celebration (in quodam tripudio) with others in a lane in the ward of Arnald Thedmar [Billingsgate ward] when William Longman, Ralph Longman,, Henry Smyth, William Heyroun, Richard Bosse and William de Orewell came up, a quarrel arising among them, William Longman and the others killed Michael and struck and wounded the others who were celebrating with him. William Longman, Ralph Longman and Henry Smyth were at once arrested and taken to Newgate, but they do not come now and it is not known how they were delivered from prison, so to judgment on the sheriffs for the escape. They have now absconded and are suspected, so let them be exacted and outlawed according to the custom of the City. Chattels *26s. (deodandum [sic]) for which the sheriffs are to answer. William Heyroun, Richard Bosse and William de Orwell fled immediately after the deed and are suspected, so let them be exacted and outlawed according to the custom of the City. No chattels and they were not in frankpledge because they were strangers. No neighbour comes because they were not attached, so to judgment on the sheriffs. [cf. 539]
