67. Bartholomew de Gascony (Vasconia) was riding a horse in Holebourne in the ward of Laurence de Frowyk [Farringdon ward] when the horse stumbled and fell on top of him, crushing him so that he died on the fifth day after. Value of the horse 60s. (deodandum) for which the sheriffs are to answer. Thomas le Waleys `puleter', Robert de Cardoil, Manasser le Parmenter and Richard de Wilinghale, four neighbours, do not come and are not suspected. Thomas was attached by Ralph de Bedford parmenter and Henry de Staunton, Robert by Luke le Parmenter and Henry le Feroun, Manasser by Kyng le Parmenter and Ambrose le Parmenter, Richard by Serle le Tuler and a man called Richard whose surname is not known. So they are in *mercy. *To judgment on the chamberlain and sheriffs because they do not know the surname of the pledge. Judgment: misadventure.
Because the men of the ward say that the horse was only valued at 4 marks and it is found in the rolls of the chamberlains that it was valued at 60s., *to judgment on them. [cf. 593]
