General notes
An outlaw was a man who was put outside the protection of the law by an official order. Only men aged over 14 could be outlawed. Women were said to be ‘waived’ rather than outlawed although the outcome was the same. Outlawry normally occurred because of a criminal or civil action, although the process sometimes began with a petition in parliament.
Criminal outlawries arose from indictments for treason, rebellion, conspiracy, or other serious felonies. Civil outlawries usually resulted from defaults in cases of debt.

The document , written principally in Latin concerns the judgement made on a charge against "Gilbrium de Riston". Regrettably the script on th image is too small to translate fully from the 16th and 17th century 'Secretarial Hand' in which it is written.
