51. [m. 3d] On the feast of St. Edmund [20 Nov. 12541 John le Joven and Robert de Pontefract were eating together with John de Butteley knight in the house of Walter the Marshal in Candelwykstrete in the ward of Thomas de Basynges [Candlewick ward] and on their departure a quarrel arose between them. Robert struck John with an anlace beneath the breast so that he died forthwith. Robert at once fled and is suspected of the death, so let him be exacted and outlawed according to the form etc. Chattels *6 marks for which the sheriffs are to answer. He was not in frankpledge because he was always coming and going (iens et rediens). John de Boteley of the county of Southampton was attached for the death, but does not come and is not suspected. He was attached by William de Abyndon of the county of Southampton and Geoffrey de Caumpes of the same county. So they are in *mercy. [cf. 538]
