446. Philip de Wanborough accused of theft and robberies says that he is a clerk and ought not, nor wishes to answer there. Concerning this, the rural dean of Southwark came and claimed him as clerk, but he brought no diocesan letters by which Philip ought to be frred to him. It is by Rovert de Gatton the coroner that Philip along with others stole a maplewood bowl and thereafter he had 5 pence as his share. Since the dean has no diocesan letters by which he ought to be freed to him., Philip is to be taken into custody.
