34. Theobald de Melton was found drowned in the ward of Walmar de Essex [Billingsgate ward]. As the justices cannot discover by inquest how he was drowned, the men of the ward are asked how it happened and say in the faith in which they are bound to the king that they know nothing, so *to judgment on the whole ward. No one is suspected. Judgment: misadventure. Robert Dagun and William Egrith, neighbours, do not come and are not suspected. Robert was attached by William Fros and Robert le Sachier, William by Michael the Clerk and John Sperlyng. So they are in *mercy.
