William Tyryngton and John Halton were warned but did not come.

The jurors say that Richard, son and heir of John Wylteshire , formerly citizen and grocer of London, is aged 24 years and more, having been born in London on 25 July 1380 and baptised in the church of All Hallows at the Hay in the Ropery. The jurors remember this for the reasons given:

Nicholas Wardale , aged 50, was present in the church when Master John Wenrother , then parson there, baptised him.

John Rede , 46, and Nicholas Cook , 60, separately questioned, were present in the church at the request of John Wilteshire that they might be witnesses to the age of Richard and that he might thereby have and enjoy his father’s lands and tenements in All Hallows parish.

Richard Balleman , 40, and David Manne , 54, came to the church with Richard Odyham , who was godfather.

William Logge , 49, Thomas Bristowe , 60, John Maynard , 46, Robert Smyth , 48, and Thomas Rypon , 50, were at the church with John Walleworth , then mayor, for an inquisition between the prior of Elsing Spital and Walter Doget , then sheriff.
