To judgment against the coroners and the twelve jurors.
34. Robert of Herthale, arrested for having in self-defense
slain Roger, Swein's son, who had slain five men in a fit of
madness, is committed to the sheriff that he may be in
custody as before, for the king must be consulted about this
matter. The chattels of him who killed the five men were
worth two shillings, for which Richard [the sheriff must
account].
35. Sibil, Engelard's daughter, appeals Ralph of Sandford,
for that he in the king's peace and wickedly and in breach
of the peace given to her in the county [court] by the
sheriff, came to the house of her lord [or husband] and
broke her chests and carried off the chattels, and so
treated her that he slew the child that was living in her
womb. Afterwards she came and said that they had made a
compromise and she withdrew herself, for they have agreed
that Ralph shall satisfy her for the loss of the chattels
upon the view and by the appraisement of lawful men; and
Ralph has assented to this.
36. William Pipin slew William [or John] Guldeneman and
fled. He had no chattels. Let him be exacted. And Hugh
Fuller was taken for this death and put in gaol because the
said John [or William] was slain in his house. And Hugh
gives to the king his chattels which were taken with him,
that he may have an inquest [to find] whether he be guilty
thereof or no.
