council, and the cause of his imprisonment, and they returned that he
came to Oxford with Philip Mayewe and many others unknown, and

concerning thirty nobles of gold of the said Philip taken from a wallet
in the said John's keeping, wherefore the deed was by his fellows laid
to the prisoner's charge, as it was averred to the mayor and bailiffs by
good men who heard the dispute, that upon that averment they
repaired to the said lodging and made search in the prisoner's wallet,
and found therein suspicious chattels, namely a green gown worn and
cut across the shoulders (per scapulas), a smaller gown, a broad hood of
scarlet cut and fitted to the shape of a small hood, a silver girdle cut
in two, one piece of furring of cony, and divers other instruments, that
after a discussion before them upon the matter they examined the
prisoner and he varied in his tale, and that he was taken and imprisoned
upon suspicion of that larceny; and now John Rygge and the others
have mainperned in chancery body for body and under a pain of 20l.
