“Hie discernuntur toni”:—
Re quoque dat quarti, fa ni [?»«] C vult quoque quinti,
La la fa sexti dicas, nec plures habentur.
Sol solfa, septi [?septimi] tenet inceptio toni,
Octavo fa mi fa·, non sunt tonantia plura.
Fol. 82 a. Latin form of acquittance of rent-ferm, received of H. Witehed, of
the parish of Sellinge. Form of final concord, as of the 33rd year of Edward III,
before Robert de Thorpe, Henry Grene, Henry de Motelowe, John Mounby,
and William de Skipwith, Justiciars, between William Scot, lynter pflax-
grower] of Romeney, complainant, and Thomas Chapman, and Alicia, his wife,
deforciants.
Fol. 82 b. An extract from the Red Book of the Exchequer, as to the Cinque
Ports, taken from a copy in a document belonging to James Colbrond, in
November, 40th Edward III (a.d. 1366), in reference to proceedings in the 21st
year of Edward I : to the effect that Hastings was the chief (capitalis) Port,
with certain members ; Bekesbourne, and Grenethe, in Kent, being two of them.
Fol. 84 a. Form of acquittance on account. Form of lease for years, being
by Richard de Dotpsham], Knight, to Adam Adam, of Promhelle, and Laurence
Kyn, of Dover, of tenements in the vills of Eastbrigge, Hope, and Saint Mary
in the Marsh, near Romeney. “Given at West Farelegh.”—It seems not
improbable that the Courts of Brotherhood had the name by which they were
originally known, from being held on the Promhelle (or Bromhelle), here
mentioned.
Folios 84 i-86« are occupied with other conveyances, in which Adam Adam
of Bromhill, and Richard de Dotesham, Knight, are represented as taking part.
At the foot of fol. 84 b is a note in Latin, (tr.) “Mark on the beak of the swans
(signis) belonging to Sir Richard de Tot (?Totesham), knight, in the marsh of
Romeney, as set forth XIX.”
Folios 86 b and 87 a contain other deeds, probably intended as common forms.
In the latter page Ralph de Kanwile, Vicar of Romeney, is named; acknow-
ledging that he has received a legacy of 40J., on behalf of Isabel, wife of William
Smyth, left to her by Emma, her mother. Several pages following are also
occupied with like matter.
In fol. 96 a Sir Reginald de Cobeham, and Agnes, his sister, are named as
patrons of the Hospital of Saints Stephen and Thomas at Romeney ; and as
letting to John de Holdesdon, Chaplain, a chamber in the close of the Hospital,
beyond [ultra] the gate, and a grange in the berton in the same close; also
17 acres, and all the hemp-ground [cannabare] with its appurtenances; eight
acres of which lie in St Clement’s at Old Romeney, near the mill of Aghene,
called “Spitellis”; three acres in Demechirche, called “Holwest” ; and a fourth
acre at Romeney, near Spitelberghe, called “Spitelacre.” The other five acres
are situated below the close of the said Hospital, and the hemp-ground beyond
the same.
After fol. 97 a leaf has been cut out, and the subject-matter is left incomplete:
but the numeration (of the 16th century) is uninterrupted.
Fol. 99 a. John Stiward, Parson of Middele, gives to Alicia Stiward, his
kinswoman, espoused (uxoratae) to Adam de Stoghton, nine acres of land, not to
be alienated, living the said Adam, in this manner.—By deed poll he first gives
the same to the Parsons of Westynghangre and Horton ; and they let the same
to Alice at a fee-farm rent of 245·. yearly, on a condition in a certain defeasance
there set forth.
