It was demanded of the gaoler where the prisoner of Wortham was, because it was entered in the roll of the last session that he was remitted to prison until the next gaol delivery.
The gaoler said that the prisoner died in prison.
Cheyne JKB asked whether the prisoner was buried before he was viewed by the coroner.
The gaoler said that he was viewed.
The coroner was demanded.
The coroner showed his book (liuere) that the prisoner died in the plague (pestilence). |

Statham Retourne 34, dated 3 Hen. 5, stated that the sheriff returned that he 'languished in prison' (languit in prisona), and to another writ that he 'was dead in prison' (mortuus est in prisona); and because he did not say that the coroner had viewed him (le vieuue de luy), he was amerced, etc.; quaere
Statham Averrement 19, dated 4 Hen. 5, stated that if justices of gaol delivery command the sheriff to bring before them a prisoner in his keeping (garde), who says that he is dead (est mort) in prison, quaere if he should have the averment without saying that the coroner sat on him (sea sur luy)? For Cokayn adjourned such a matter

Brooke Corone 167, fol. 186r, dated this 3 Hen. 5, stated that if one be taken by process, and then die (murrust) in prison the coroner ought to see him (luy veir), which ought to be returned by the sheriff to the Court, titul' Returna breuium in Fitzh. 107 |
