86. In the same year, Peter de Gysors being chamberlain, who answers, John Adrian and Robert de Cornhull, who has died, being sheriffs, for whom John Adrian answers; a stranger was found dead on the bank of the Thames with his throat cut. The mayor and aldermen are asked who killed him and say in the faith in which they are bound to the king that they do not know, nor how he was washed up there, unless by the tide. John de Couventre, a neighbour, does not come and is not suspected. He was attached by Peter de Hamiston and Reginald le Barbur. So they are in *mercy. All the other neighbours attached for the death have died, so nothing from them. [cf. 600] |
