Gaol Delivery made at the Castle of Shrewsbury
before Robert de Charlton and John Hulle,
Justices assigned, &c. on the Wednes¬day
after the Feast of St. James, 19 Richard II. 1396 Salop. Nicholas de Peshale, the Rector of Eggemondon,
and Robert de Peshale, of Knyghton
who had been indicted before Thomas Newport, and his fellow Justices of
the Peace, for aiding and abetting the escape from the King's Prison in
the Castle of Shrewsbury, of Thomas Peshale,
knight, Adam Peshale, the son of Richard Peshale, Chivaler,

Richard son of Adam de Peshale, and John Dalowe had unjustly
