And Reginald
offers proof by the body of a certain freeman, Arkald, who
has his [Reginald's] daughter to wife, who is to prove in
his stead, since he has passed the age of sixty. Osbert
Church defends all of it. The knights of the hundred of
Penwith say that they suspect him of the said death. The
knights of kerrier [hundred] say the same. The knights of
Penwith [hundred] say the same. The knights of Pyder
[hundred] say the same. Judgment: let him purge himself by
water, and Reginald is in mercy, for he does not allege
sight and hearing, and because he has withdrawn himself, and
put another in his place, who neither saw nor heard and yet
offered to prove it, and so let both Reginald and Arkald be
in mercy. Osbert is purged by the water. Osbert's pledges:
Henry Little, Henry of Penant, Ossulf Black, Roger of
Trevithow, John of Glin, Ralph of Trelew.
17. Roger of Wick [was] appealed of the death of Brictmer by
the appeal of Hawise, Brictmer's wife, and was captured in
flight, as say John of Winielton and Ralph of Mertherin, but
the flight is not testified by the hundred. Kerier [hundred]
says the same. Penwith [hundred] says the same. So is
considered that he purge himself by water. He is purged.
Roger's pledges: Ralph of Trelew, Ogier of Kurnick, Richard,
Simon's son, Alfred Malvoisin, Everwin of Lande, John of
Kewerion, Warin of Tiwardeni, Baldwin Tirel, Roger of
Trevithow, John of Glin, William of Dunham, Thomas, Osbert's
son.
