Wherefore it was adjiid^'ed that the said Stephen, the plaintiff, shoidd keep his day on the followini' Monday and that meanwhile the said Hugh shoidd be better distrained. And on the said Monday a eertain monk of Lavendon appeared, bearing letters testimonial of the abbot of Lavendon, and offered lo prove, in what.soever way the court should award, that the said Hugh had neither art nor part in the said horse at the time, when the attachment was made or afterwards. And because it was testified that the said Hugh had withdrawn from the vill and did not care to return there again during the fair, the court was asked how Ihe said monk should withdraw from his demand. And it was awarded that the said monk should prove that the horse was his. And for greater security the steward took an incpiest »ex officio* be the following jurors, to wit, Geoffrey Long ... to impure the truth of the matter, as to wether the said horse belonged to Ihe said monk or to the said Hugh; and they say on their oath that the .said Hugh has no right in the said horse. Wherefore it is awarded that the said monk recover the said horse and that the said Hugh be attached to answer the said Stephen if he comes.* In diesem Falle wie in dem ersten der im vorliegenden Zusammenhang referierten bekam also der Eigenliimer das Pferd zuriick. weder (iro.ss I .S. 68.
