king his chattels which were taken with him,
that he may have an inquest [to find] whether he be guilty
thereof or no. The jurors say that he is not guilty, and so
let him go quit thereof. And William Picot is in mercy for
having sold Hugh's chattels before he was convicted of the
death, and for having sold them at an undervalue, for he
sold them, as he says, for three shillings, and the jurors
say that they were worth seventeen shillings, for which
William Picot and those who were his fellows ought to
account. And William says that the chattels were sold by the
advice of his fellows, and his fellows deny this.

37. Robert White slew Walter of Hugeford and fled. The
jurors say that he was outlawed for the death, and the
county and the coroners say that he was not outlawed,
because no one sued against him. And because the jurors
cannot [be heard to] contradict the county and the coroners,
therefore they are in mercy, and let Robert be exacted. His
chattels were [worth] fifteen shillings, for which R. of
Ambresleigh, the sheriff, must account.

38. Elyas of Lilleshall fled to church for the death of a
woman slain at Lilleshall. He had no chattels. He confessed
the death and abjured the realm. Alice Crithecreche and Eva
of Lilleshall and Aldith and Mabel, Geoffrey and Robert of
Lilleshall, and Peter of Hopton were taken for the death of
the said woman slain at Lilleshall. And Alice, at once after
the death, fled to the county of Stafford with some of the
chattels of the slain, so it is said, and was taken in that
county and brought back into Shropshire and there, as the
king's serjeant and many knights and lawful men of the
county testify, in their presence she said, that at night
she heard a tumult in the house of the slain; whereupon she
came to the door and looked in, and saw through the middle
of the doorway four men in the house, and they came out and
caught her, and threatened to kill her unless she would
conceal them; and so they gave her the pelf [booty] that she
had. And when she came before the [itinerant] justices she
denied all this. Therefore she has deserved death, but by
way of dispensation [the sentence is mitigated, so] let her
eyes be torn out. The others are not suspected, therefore
let them be under pledges.

39. William, John's son, appeals Walter, so
