Fol. 73 a. A fine levied between Andrew Colyn, of Romeney, complainant,
and T. Maheu, and Alicia, his wife, deforciants, as to 3 roods, 18 perches of
land, enclosed with mud walls, with grange and other edifices standing thereon,
in the vill of Romeney,—“in the Parish of St Laurence, in the Spitalstrete, by
the Churchyard.”
At fol. 73a the Register for the 4th of Richard II begins.
Fol. 73 b. A fine between W. Gerold, and Anabilia, his wife, complainants,
and J. Perot, mariner, a native of Spain [oriundum de Yspannia] and Joan, his
wife, daughter of W. Lomestone, of Romeney, deforciants, as to a messuage
there. A fine, also, between J. Marchant, ripiere [a retailer of fish], and
Alicia, his wife, and Richard Alewy and Celestina, his wife, as to a messuage,

Fol. 74 a. Copy, in another hand, of a writ (in Latin) from the Earl of
Cambridge [Edmund de Langley], Constable of Dover Castle, and Warden of
the Cinque Ports: to enforce contribution alike by all the Barons thereof to the

Fols. 74 b and 75 had been originally left blank, with the exception of one
entry ; but were afterwards filled with legal matter, as to debt, of a much later
date.
At fol. 76 a miscellaneous matters follow, in the original pale ink, and the
earlier handwriting. This part of the volume was not improbably used as a
Commonplace book by Daniel Rough.
After folio 76 b a leaf seems to have been lost, or cut out.
Fol. 77 begins with instructions (in Latin) how to keep a tally, or account, as
to landed property; ending with the words—“Et sic finitur pars interior.” Then
follow some verses, by way of maxims :—
Quid, de quo, quantum, quando, cur, ista notato.
In quibus exspendit, quando, cur, testis in hiis sit.
Sit ratio tecum, rotulus scribatur aperte,—(sine rasura).
Ballia cum rotulis concordet, utrique valoris.
Instrue praepositum, si nesciat, et fuge turbas.
Post dicta in rotulis scribatur, non vice versa.
Sit spatium largum, numerus scribatur aperte.
Si sapiens fore vis, sex serves quae tibi mando,
Quod dicas, et ubi, de quo, cui, quomodo, quando.

Tot crescunt solidi, cum tot nummis numerati.

an account as to profits of cattle, horses, and oxen; sheep and their wool.
Fol. 78 b, swine and boars. Fol. 79a, geese, fowls, and chickens. Then “Issues

sale of hides of horses and oxen, and of woolfels. In fol. 80«, “Exitus operum,”
issues, or profits, from various operations, are treated of. At the foot of the
same page, and in the next, various forms are given, for drawing testaments and
wills; fol. 80b, containing acquittances to executors of testaments. Fol. 81 a
gives (in Latin) a “ Certificate on mandate to appear at Christ Church, Canter-
