1586 William DACKHAM of Colebie gent, Francis THOMSON of
Boothebie, gent, Lawrence CODDINGTON and William THORPE of Coleby, yeomen,
accuse John TRYE esq, William ODENSELLS, Thomas ODENSELLS, Richard PRESSOR
alias DAVIES, Richard WATKINS, Richard GEARINGE, William PRESTLYE and divers
others of riotous assembly, driving off cattle from the pasture called the oxe
pasture, with stakes pitchforks swords and daggers, about 4th July last being
the Sabbath Day in the time of Divine Service; they beat William HATFIELDE
labourer and put him in fear of his life; divers of the cattle are dead and
others in great peril to the utter undoing of some of the poorest of the
complainants, their poor wives and children; and maliciously drove the cattle
over a great quantity of the complainants corn. William THORPE, the constable
of Coleby, came with divers of his honest neighbours and commanded them to leave
and desist; and asked Mr Trye to declare the names of his men (many were Mr
Try's servants). Mr Trye said his men's names were Robin Hood and Little John
and then, being justice of the peace, bound the said constable, Francis HUDSON
and William HATFIELDE poor inhabitors in Coleby to keep the peace, out of
malice to vex and trouble them and drive them to great cost and charges in law.
And he has threatened your complainants that he would make them glad to forsake

Odensells denies being there; the others say they were peacefully driving
cattle to the common pond when they were attacked by William Hatfield [Nat.Arch STAC5 D37/37]
