Chattels of his to the value of 3 pence for which Thomas de Belhus, the sheriff will be responsible (for collecting). And he is not of the town of Somersham. Therefore compassion (is given)
And the towns of Bluntisham, Colne, Holywell cum Needingworth all ask reverently to abjure him before the coroner. Therefore compassion (is given).
The aforesaid Hugo is not known by the tithings (local groups of ten people) because he is a stranger from the county of Norfolk. And because Philip de Rypton was the coroner in whose presence the denials (by the towns) were made, it was assigned to him (to collect the relevant fines).
