EDICT

As to the matter of Edmond Koyle,
yeoman, who was sentenced to be
hanged in the county of Kent, in the
reign of King Edward IV., this Is the
story:
Koyle had Just come of age. and
there was a celebration In honor of the
event on his father’s farm. The young
men and maidens danced on the greet),
and it was noticed that Edmond Koyle
and Margaret Manning, a comely lass
of nineteen years, danced many times
together. • Moreover, some who were
there saw old Simon Winter standing
by himself looking on at the couple,
scowling and tapping his foot angrily
on the floor, for be had that day ap
plied to Farmer Manning for Margaret
to wife, and now he saw that her heart
was going out to Koyle.
That night the church was robbed
of the silver service plate, and. search
being made, it was found hid in the
barn on the farm to which young
Koyle had the day before come to an
Inheritance, his father having died two
year agone. And there were those
who averred that they had seen Ed
mond carrying pluuder from the
church at dead of night
So the young man was tried before
the judge, and those persons who
claimed that they had seen him carry
ing a load from the church swore to
the fact, and Edmond was sentenced
to be hanged by the neck till he was
dead.
Edmond was defended before the
judge by Montgomery, his advocate, in
this wise:
"Most worshipful sir, there be a con
spiracy on the part of Simon Winter to
ruin my client, that the said Winter
may put away a rival. This man,
who has a farm and much cattle and
sheep, did propose to Farmer Manning 1
for his daughter, a comely wench, and
the proposal was accepted by Farmer
Manning.
"Then came the prisoner and. on
the day he was of age danced morrily
with Margaret Manning, and Simon
Winter, being jealous, did hire men for
pay to rob the church and place the
plate in Edmond Koyle’s barn, that he
might make it appear that the sacri
lege had been done by Koyle, Wittier
having the intent to injure Koyle
that he should cease to be a rival for
the band of Margaret Manning.
“Therefore, 1 prny you. most wor
shipful sir. to let my client go f.'ee.
or if you are not satisfied of his in
nocence be will willingly decide whett;-
cr be or Wimer is guilty of this sacj 1-
lege by deadly combat."
But Wimer, being no match for a
young man, declined the coqjbut. and
the judge was constrained to pro
on, and hustle those bugs out so quickly' nounce the accused guilty and pass
sentence upon him.
