rjeant, or
no. And William Cook does the same. And the wapentake says
that the alleged [imprisonment] took place in Lent, and Guy
did not show the matter to the wapentake until a fortnight
before St. Botulph's day. And the county together with the
coroners says that they never heard the suit in their court.
Therefore it is considered that the appeal is null, and Guy
is in mercy. And let William and those who are appealed as
accessories go quit.

31. The jurors say that Andrew, sureman's son, appealed
Peter, Leofwin's son, Thomas Squire and William Oildene of
robbery. And he does not prosecute. So he and Stephen
Despine and Baldwin Long are in mercy, and the appellees go
without day. Afterwards comes Andrew and says that [the
appellees] imprisoned him by the order of William Malesoures
in the said William's house, so that he sent to the sheriff
that the sheriff might deliver him, whereupon the sheriff
sent his serjeant and others thither, who on coming there
found him imprisoned and delivered him and he produces
witnesses, to wit, Nicholas Portehors and Hugh, Thurkill's
son, who testify that they found him imprisoned, and he
vouches the sheriff to warrant this. And the sheriff, on
being questioned, says that in truth he sent thither four
lawful men with the serjeant on a complaint made by Nicholas
Portehors on Andrew's behalf. And those who were sent
thither by the sheriff testify that they found him at
liberty and disporting himself in William's house. Therefore
it is considered that the appeal is null [and Andrew is in
mercy] for his false complaint and Nicholas Portehors and
Hugh, Thurkill's son, are in mercy for false testimony.
Andrew and Hugh are to be in custody until they have found
pledges [for their amercement].

32. The jurors say that Geoffrey Cardun has levied new
customs other than he ought and other than have been usual,
to wit, in taking from every cart crossing his land at
Winwick with eels, one stick of eels, and from a cart with
greenfish, one greenfish, and from a cart with salmon, half
a salmon, and from a cart with herrings, five herrings,
whereas he ought to take no custom for anything save for
salt crossing his land, to wit, for a cartload, one bole of
salt, and in that case the salter ought to have a loaf in
return for the salt, and also
