Reilly, S. A.

"Our Legal Heritage : 600-1776 King Aehelbert - King George III"


And that this is so the jurors testify. Judgment: William
and Robert in mercy for the false claim. William's
amercement, a half-mark. Robert's amercement, a half-mark.
Pledge for the mark, Warin, Robert's son. Let the king have
his chattels from William. Pledge for the chattels, Richard,
Hervey's son.
3. Serlo of Ennis-Caven appeals Osbert of Dimiliock and
Jordan, Walter's son, for that they in the king's peace
wickedly assaulted, beat and seriously wounded him, so that
by reason of the beating three bones were extracted from his
head; and this he offers to prove against him under the
court's award as a man maimed by that mayhem. And it is
testified by the coroners that the wounds when fresh were
shown in the county [court], and that [the bones were
broken] as aforesaid. And Osbert and Jordan come and defend
word by word. It is considered that Osbert do purge himself
by ordeal of iron on account of the appeal, for Serlo betook
himself against Osbert in the first instance. And let Jordan
be in custody until it be known how Osbert shall fare. And
the other persons who are appealed as accessories are to be
under pledge until [Osbert's fate] be known.
4. The jurors say that they suspect William Fisman of the
death of Agnes of Chilleu, for the day before he had
threatened her body and goods.
