Summary

Document, formerly with seals, from inquest held in Snayth (Snaith, East Riding of Yorkshire) on 28 October 1410 (twelfth regnal year of Henry IV) concerning two deaths. A jury of twelve men is named, including Thomas Dylkoke (Dilcock), John de Pokenall, William de Lynlay (Lynley), John Smyth of Snayth, Atkyn Emson, John Rose of Balne, Thomas Pynder, and John Gledhall (Gledall). The jury determines that John Marten of Stapulton (John Martin of Stapleton, possibly in West Riding of Yorkshire) was poisoned with arsenic by the chaplain William Relynbeke and that John Cawdray of Goldall (Gowdall?) beat another man to death. The document is written in nine lines of secretary script on a piece of parchment; three strips are cut along the bottom edge of the document and small remnants of wax seals are attached to them. The envelope (120 x 95 mm) that formerly held the document folded and has a twentieth-century summary of the document written on it in ink is housed with the document, now unfolded.
