To the sheriff of Northampton. Order to deliver John Danesy, imprisoned at Northampton for the death of William Holdibert, in bail to twelve men who shall mainpern to have him before the justices at the first assizes to stand to right if any one wish to speak against him, as the king learns by the record and process of an inquisition taken by Robert son of Walter and his fellows, justices appointed to deliver Northampton gaol, that John slew William in self-defence and not of malice aforethought.
