Membrane 4


[m. 4] patria	A jury of the venue of Wallebroke is summoned for the next court to recognize upon oath whether Joan of Cateloigne, on Sunday in the Octave of Trinity, 13 Edward II [8^th June, 1320] in the street of Walebroke, assaulted Williams of New Castle with force and arms, and wounded him with a knife in the left ear. The def. is mainprised by John of Alegate and William le Barbier.

fecit legem lex ad quindenam	Richard Borgeis waged his law against Henry Henderman concerning the charge that on the first Sunday in Lent [17^th February, 1320] he failed to pay to the pl., by John of Goldeneye, 16s., as he had undertaken to do. Afterwards Richard comes and makes his law. He is adjudged quit and the pl. in mercy.

lex ad quindenam	William of Norhamptone waged his law against Richard le Ussher, concerning the charge that between Michaelmas, 13 Edward II [29^th Sept, 1319] and the Easter following [30^th March, 1320] he bought of the said Richard in London a tanned hide worth 33s., the which sum is still unpaid.

	Walter of Baldok, 'chaundeler', was attached to answer Richard of Bitterle in a plea of account. The pl. complains that the def. was-
[p. 14] patria	-his receiver for the moneys taken by the sale of salt at Billynggesgate to the value of £8.0.0, between Saturday after Christmas, 13 Edward II [29^th December, 1319] and the Saturday next following, but that he refused and still refuses to render account of the same. The def. denies that he was the pl.'s receiver and offers to wage his law. The pl. says that it is manifestly a case for a jury, and that the def. ought not to be admitted to wage his law ['dicit quod in huiusmodi placitis compoti, ubi pars querens narrando asserit versus suum receptorum, de recepcione denariorum proveniencium de certis denarratis venditis unde patria manisfestam cognicionem habere potest, pars defenders in placito compoti secundum consuetudinem civitatis ad legem suam admitti non debet' etc.]. The court adjourns for consultation. Later the def. again appears and denies the charge, and puts himself upon a jury, which is summoned for the next court.

lex ad quindenam misericordia	John of Wroteham claims against Roger le Rede, baker, 18s. for a quarter of corn sold to him in London on Wednesday before Christmas, 10 Edward II [22^nd December, 1316] at Queenhithe. The def. says he paid the sum in question, the pl. denies it, and offers to wage his law thereupon. Later he comes and makes his law. It is adjudged that he recover the sum in question. Def. in mercy.
