Hertfordshire
John Tacla appeared by his attorney for a fourth day against William Cory of Hertford in the county aforesaid boucher, in a plea that he render him 40s; and against John Plukroos of Ware in the same county cook, in a plea that he render him 46s; which they owe him and unjustly withhold &c. And (the defendants) have not come; and it had been ordered the sheriff to summon them &c. And the sheriff now reports that (the defendants) have nothing (in his bailiwick in lands or chattels by which they might be attached) &c. Therefore let (the defendants) be taken, to be here on the octaves of Trinity &c.
