It  was   these  unhappy  people  who  were  robbed  by  Gerard  of  Athee  ;    see  above  ,
pp.  33,  34.     The  justices  were  more  merciful  than  the  constable.

1 8.  Jordan     Croker     slew     Thomas     Weaver     and
wounded    William    Pollard,    and    fled.       And   he   was
residing  in   Bristol.     But  the  jurors  say  that  there  is
no    frank-pledge    here    nor    wardship    that    ought    to
answer    for    fugitives ;     so    this    must    be    discussed.
William    subsequently   died.      Jordan's    chattels    [were
worth]    thirty-four   pence,    for    which    William    Taylor
the    coroner     must    account.       Jordan    is     suspected.
Judgment :    let  him   be   exacted  and   outlawed.
19.  Isabella,  Osanne's  daughter,  was  run  over  by  a
certain  cart.     No   one   is   suspected.     Judgment:  mis-
adventure.    The   value  of  the  cart  was  five  shillings,
for   which  the  coroner  [must  account].     The  value  of
the  chattels  in  the  cart  was  eight  marks,  which  Peter
of  Chanceaux  received;    so  this  must  be  discussed.
20.  A  certain  servant  of  Richard  Palmer  fell  into
the   Frome   out  of  a   certain   boat  and   was   drowned.
No  one  is  suspected.     Judgment:   misadventure.     The
value   of  the    boat    was    ten    shillings,    for    which    the
constable  must  account.     He  has  paid  and  is   quit.
