11.   A Guest for the Gallows.   

 

'Poor Will Stutely cannot pay, and into prison he is cast,
the Sheriff is the very one, who turns him loose at last.'

The Sheriff has sentenced a peasant, Will Stutely, to death for non payment of taxes.  Robin disguises himself as a butcher and starts a riot to get an interview with the Sheriff.  The sheriff's greed gets the better of him and he follows Robin to Sherwood and a trap.  Robin's plan is simple, exchange the Sheriff for Will.

On the left the letter from the Sheriff to his lieutenant.  Note the signature "Wheatley"!
