In the second case, Richard Pace is not on the jury, he is the defendant. And "non est inventus" means "he is not found", i.e. the defendant didn't turn up. That would be consistent with Richard Pace being the same person in both cases and being in York County at the time, therefore unable to appear in court to defend the case in Charles City County.
