239. John de Shordiche killed Peter son of John de Stonhall in the ward of Anketin de Auverne [Farringdon ward]. He at once fled and is suspected, so let him be exacted and outlawed according to the custom of the City.' No chattels nor frankpledge because he was a stranger. John, Peter's brother, was attached for the death because he was present, but he does not come and is not suspected. He was attached by Joce the king's purveyor (emptorem)2 and William de Enefeld. So they are all in *mercy. Hugh le Chapeyler, Peter de Durham and William the Cook, three neighbours, do not come and are not suspected. Hugh was attached by Alexander Russel and Stephen Brian, Peter by Richard le Couriur and Nicholas the Cook, William by William de Ware cobbler (sutorem) and Nicholas de Wenham. So they are all in *mercy. Afterwards Peter de Durham comes and is not suspected, so he is quit; nothing from him or his pledges. [cf. 560]
