Richard comes and denies the death, robbery and everything. He says that previously when they were at the busting the appellors made no mention of the robbery and did not appeal him in the proper form, but only made a simple plaint; so he seeks judgment whether he is bound to answer their appeal.

282. James de Stoke clerk, accused of breaking open a box in the church of St. Paul's London, comes and denies the theft and everything. He says he is a clerk and is not bound to answer here.
