85. Eodem anno eisdem Simone et Rogero existentibus accidit die Martis in septimana Pasche quod Johannes de la Neuwelonde momordit Laurencium Turpyn in pollice dextro, ita quod pollicem ilium amisit et unde ipsum appellavit et invenit plegios de prosequendo, scilicet Willelmum le Engleys et Stephanum Lengleys qui mortui sunt, et modo venit; non prosequitur set retraxit se. Et Johannes appellatus venit. Et testatum est per maiorem et cives quod concordati sunt. Ideo committantur gaole. Testantur etiam quod idem Johannes culpabilis est de maemio illo. Postea deliberati fuerunt a gaola per preceptum justiciariorum pro deo quia nichil habuerunt.
In the same year, Simon and Roger being etc. on Tuesday in Easter week [25 April 1234], John de la Neuwelonde bit Laurence Turpyn on the right thumb, so that he lost the thumb and appealed him for the deed, and found pledges to prosecute, viz. William le Engleys and Stephen Lengleys, who have died. He comes now, but does not prosecute, but withdraws his suit. John the appellee comes, and the mayor and citizens testify that they have made peace. Therefore they are to be committed to gaol. They testify further that John is guilty of the maiming. Afterwards they were delivered from gaol by order of the justices for God's sake, because they had nothing. |
