ffer with one mark of silver and other
chattels; and this he offers to prove by his son, Robert de
Ros, who saw it. And Ailward and the others have come and
defended the felony, robbery, and breach of the king's
peace, and say that (as the custom is in Cornwall) Roger of
Prideaux, by the sheriff's orders, caused twelve men to come
together and make oath about the said villein, whether he
was the king's villein or William's and it was found that he
was the king's villein, so the said Roger the serjeant
demanded that [William] should surrender him, and he
refused, so [Roger] sent to the sheriff, who then sent to
deliver [the villein], who, however, had escaped and was not
to be found, and William makes this appeal because he wishes
to keep the chattels of Thomas [the villein], to wit, two
oxen, one cow, one mare, two pigs, nine sheep, eleven goats.
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. And the four neighboring
townships being sworn, suspect him of it. It is considered
that he purge himself by water under the Assize.
