Why would it be the next day? Kings and Lords in that era might set aside a day once a month in which cases are heard, and anyone who has something to set before the lord may come and do so. Meanwhile, someone would have to offer surety for Manawyth or he would remain imprisoned, and the horse would be stabled somewhere neutral (Meduseld, perhaps?) with the cost bourne by the loser of the case, whenever it is heard.
