153. Hugh de Stamford killed John de Wautham in the ward of John de Norhampton [Aldgate ward]. He was at once arrested and handed over to Constantine le Brokour, Richard le Mercer and Henry Deubeny, then keepers of Alegate. Afterwards he escaped from their custody, so to judgment on them for the *escape. Hugh has now absconded and is suspected, so *let him be exacted and outlawed. No chattels nor frankpledge because he was a stranger. All the neighbours have died, except the fourth, Thomas de Suthwerk, who does not come. Thomas was attached by Walter Gaunter and Roger de Huntingdon. So they are in *mercy. [cf. 625] |
