were indicted for poaching and paid bail, or had bail paid for them by their
families. From sureties of persons indicted for poaching and for not
producing persons so indicted on the first day of the Eyre Court in accordance
with the suretieship due to Richard Drye. There

Roger son of Gilbert of Farndale, bail from Nicholas de Farndale, 2s from
William the Smith of Farndale, 3s 4d from John the shepherd of Farndale, and

involved in a poaching offence when he was about 25.
