| Text (English translation) | Cambridgeshire. Richard Fissher of Hunden attached to answer John Sibile on a plea that together with Nicholas Wrighte of Wilbraham, John, son of John Skynnere of Wratting, Thomas Undirwode of Wickham, John Webbe of Streatley, John, son of Philip Purchasour of Horseheath, Hugh Garlond of Camps, John Webbe of Balsham, John Sealyngford of Weston Colville, James Coupere of Balsham, Andrew Mowere, Henry, son of John Leggs of Lynton, Thomas Hunyngs of Lynton, Peter Michel of Stanfield, John Bocher of Stanfield and John Taillour of Stanfield, with force and arms he broke the close of the said John Sibile at Wilbraham, and took and carried away his goods and chattels found there to the value of £40, and inflicted other enormities on him, to the grave damage of John Sibile and against the King's peace. And whence the same John Sibile complains through his attorney John Payn that on Thursday 13 June 1381 the aforesaid Richard Fissher, with force and arms, namely swords, sticks, bows and arrows broke the close of the said John Sibile at Wilbraham and took and carried away his goods and chattels found there, namely wheat, barley, malt, peas and oats, gold and silver necklaces, gold and silver rings bound together, silver cups, mazers, silver spoons, choice linen and woollen cloth, basins, lavers, and other necessaries of the home, and inflicted other enormities on him, to the grave damage of the said John Sibile and against the King's peace, whence he says that he suffered damages to the value of £100. And thereof he produces suit. And the aforesaid Richard Fissher appears in person and says that he is not guilty of the aforesaid trespass and places himself on the country. And the aforesaid John Sibile likewise. Therefore, the sheriff is ordered to summon twelve jurors for the quindene of Trinity 1382. The same John Sibile appears, through his aforesaid attorney, against the aforesaid Nicolas, John, son of John Skynnere, John Webbe, John, son of John Purchesour, Hugo, John Webbe, John Walyngford, John Coupere, Andrew, Henry, Thomas, Peter, John Boucher et John Taillour on the aforesaid plea. And they did not come. And the sheriff was ordered to arrest them. And the sheriff reports that they cannot be found. Therefore, just as previously the sheriff is ordered to arrest them and produce them here at the aforesaid term. |
