 with Henry de Stanton Leghes, and wounded him in the 

 thigh with a sword in the vill of Stanton, so that in three 

 weeks he died of the wound. Adam was captured by a

 escaped from that prison, and judgment of evasion was 

 passed upon Roger le Estrange, custodian of the same 

 castle for our lord the king.

William de Middleton placed himself in the church of 

 Herthill, and confessed himself a thief, and received John 

 Bolax, and John (son of the chaplain of Taddington), a 

 robber, and abjured the kingdom before the coroner. And 

 because the vill of Herthull did not take him, they are in 

 mercy. He was in the Frank Pledge of Middleton in the 

 Wapentake of Wirksworth, but they have him not. John 

 Bolax and John son of the chaplain of Taddington, 

 are extraneous and outlawed. 



CONKESBURY. 



Malefactors unknown were lodged in the house of a 

 certain Emma de Conkesbury, and rose up during the night

 of Conkesbury did not make suit after them, they are in 

 mercy.
