Of arms, they say the men of the Hundred have sufficient.

Of watches, they say that the vills of the Hundred do not keep watch according to Statute. They are therefore in misericordiâ.

I., in the wood of the Abbot of Burton which is called Rohay, and the high road which leads from Tuttebury to Lychefeld lies within the wood, and has not been cleared according to Statute. The Sheriff is therefore to summon the Abbot to be before the Justices after the Feast of St. Barnabas. A postscript states that the Abbot appeared and stated the road had been sufficiently cleared and deprived of underwood according to Statute, and appealed to a jury, which found in his favour.

Respecting parks, they say that the Abbot of Hales Oweyn has a park at Bromwych through the middle of which runs the high road between Burmyngham and the vill of Stafford, and it had not been cleared according to Statute.

Of Arms they say the Hundred has sufficient.

Of Constables they say that Richard de Norton and Robert de Meleburn were constables at the time of the said Statute, and did not perform their duties according to the Statute, so far as the view of arms was concerned, and the said Richard and Robert being in court could not deny this.

Respecting parks they say that William son of Oliver de Whitewyke, Clerk, Henry Clerk of Tetenhale, and Walter Chaplain of Tetenhale, had broken into the park of John de Somery at Doddeleye, and had taken venison from it; the Sheriff was ordered to produce them before the Court, and he returned they could not be found, and held nothing within his bailiwick.

The Prior was therefore summoned before the Justices, and did not appear; and the Sheriff was ordered to distrain and produce him at Brome on the Vigil of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist; on which day the Prior appeared and stated that no high road ran through the wood in question, and that Neubork is not a trading town (villa mercatoria), and appealed to a jury; the case was respited till the next coming of the Justices, and the sureties of the Prior were Robert le Mareschal of Aston, John de Cotes, Robert de Hampton, and William de Burgo. Afterwards the King sent to the Justices a writ to say that the Prior of Ware was suing coram nobis Richard Parson of Hunington at the date he was summoned before the Justices at Stafford, and he was not therefore to be put to any default for his non-appearance; dated 16th June, 35 E.
