| 3523 | Richard Farwel plunders John Sybyle | Staploe. Richard Farwel of Ashley, arrested because it is ascertained that he along with other troublemakers and rebels on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th June 1381 went to the manor of John Sybyle of Upware with force and arms, and entered the close of the same, and feloniously took and carried away 24 cows and heifers and a bull worth £10, and despoiled or burnt the house and buildings of the same John. And the same Richard is thus at once questioned as to how he wishes to answer to the charges, and he says that he is not guilty of any of the crimes of which he is accused, and places himself upon his country. And forthwith a jury is made on this for the lord the King by twelve tried and sworn, who considering the aforesaid, say on their oath that he is not guilty of the aforesaid felonies, but they say that he was led with force of arms and in fear of death by Robert Tavell and many other unknown troublemakers, and that the same Richard did no wrong. And a proclamation is made that if anyone speaks against him he should come forward, and no-one comes. Therefore by the judgement of the assigned he goes acquitted of the charges. And pledges come for his good conduct regarding the king and people: Stephen Stotenyll, William Kyrkeby, Thomas Lev'er and William Smyth. And he is sworn.
