non potest habere pasturam nec pasnag de Silva Regis sicut calumniatur nisi per Vicecomitem By this we see they impleaded their rights against the King Ex eodem in eadem Scira Trā Willm̄i Arcuarii Isdem tenet Cuntune quinque Teini tenuerunt de Rege Edw. quo voluerunt ire potuerant Aldredus frater Ode calumniatur unam vs. terre de hoc Manerio dicit se eam tenuisse die qua Rex Edw. fuit vivus mortuus disaisitus fuit postquam Rex Willm̄us Mare transiit◠ipse dirationavit coram Regina Inde est testis ejus Hugo de Port homines de toto Hundredo Here by these you may gather several manners and several reasons and grounds of claimes then potuit ire cum terra sua quo voluit Sed Testes Willielmi nolunt accipere legem nisi Regis Edwardi usque dum definiatur per Regem c. Hugo de Port having the Mannour of Cerdiford from his Ancestors William de Chernet makes claim in his behalf against Picot who held some part of it and makes proof of it by the testimony of the chiefest and best of the Country and also of the most antient of all that Hundred Picot defendant produceth the testimony of the villagers and men of no account and Reeves or Bayliffs who offer their oaths or the ordinary wayes of purgation which was their Ordeales that he that held that Land was a Free man et potuit cum terra sua ire quo voluit that is as not dependant of that Mannour nor of the customes thereof might dispose of his Land as to him seemed best but the witnesses of de Chernet would not accept of the Tryal by any Law but that of King Edward till such time as the King had judged it this you must understand was about the eighteenth year of the King the English still insisting upon the Laws of King Edward which in case they had been repealed it had been a great vanity to have insisted upon them observe further that Picot intitles the King to it though the proof was de vili plebe of the scum of the people but that you may more plainly see what was the occasion and ground of forfeiture of Lands in those dayes and what course was taken for claims thereupon I will exhibit another out of the same Domesday in the same County where under the Title of Terra Tainorum Regis it is Recorded that Alwi filius Turber tenet de Rege Tederlec tres liberi homines tenuerunt in Alodium de Rege Edwardo Dicunt homines de Hundredo quod nunquam viderunt sigillum vel legatum Regis qui saississet Alwinum antecessorem ejus qui modo tenet de isto Manerio nisi Rex testificetur nichil habet ibi duo ex his qui tenuerunt occisi fuerant in Bello de Hastings The inquiry then made for to cause the forfeiture was this whether the Land did belong to any one that was in the battel of Hastings and there did take part with Harold against King William which is the same that Sherborn pleaded for himself against the Kings gift of his Land to Warren that he did never bear Arms against the King But in Berrocshire in the same Record under the Title of Terra Regis it is that Pandeborne jacuit in firma T.R.E. post tenuit Aluuoldus Camerarius sed Hundr nescit quomodo habuit Frogerius postea misit in firma Regis absque placito lege by which we may gather that notwithstanding the entituling the King to the Land yet the Candor and Integrity of the Surveyors at that time was such that they return it to be put under the Kings Rent absque placito lege without either hearing or Law that is unjustly for placita leges at that time were as much observed to evince the right of possession as possibly could be expected But to come to that common objection that our Laws are delivered to us in the French-tongue I shall not take much pains to confute it for that it is evident our antient Laws I mean the Common Laws of the Land are neither written or Printed either in French English or Latine or any other Language that ever I could hear of but still remain like that which Caesar reports of the Learning of the Druids who were our antient judges of the Law not committed to Parchment or Paper and may for ought I can perceive have that manner and Custome continued and retained from the Ages of the Druids Certain reports upon Cases of Law by several excellent Lawyers in our law French are rendred to us but we may as well say the Comment is the Text as imagine those studious illustrations to be the Law and some there are that probably believe because our Common-Laws were never reduced into a form or Body so as to receive a rendition in that or any other Language that the Kings in those first Norman times might undestand them who in their persons did publickly preside heard Causes and gave Judgement that therefore those Cases and Pleadings in French were preserved which Cases gave only the reason of the Justice of the Law as to the diversity of concernments of the Subject and upon this it is that Mr. Campden giving the reason that one of our Courts is called the Kings-bench Bancus Regius sic dictus saith he quod in eo Reges ipsi praesidere soliti c. Judices sunt praeter Regem ipsum cum interesse voluerit Capitalis Angliae Justiciarius alii quatuor and in likelihood the King in person sitting there gave the occasion in those times of the pleadings in French which otherwise could not have been understood by those first Norman Kings that did not understand English they addicting themselves in Letters in Discourses in Messages and in all things to the French Tongue I proceed now to the second particular which is looked upon to receive so great an alteration and that is our antient Customes though much upon this point comprehensively in the former discourse of our Laws hath been said where the Custome was antiently to claim Lands by the Country it continued so at this time of the Conquest as we see in many places of domesdey-Domesdey-book where it is said Scira dicit Comitatus dicit Hundred dicit c. as in the Saxon Laws all was brought to the Hundreds and Shires so in the 34. Law of King Edward there it is of a ðrihinga which is the circuits of three or four Hundreds in a County et quod autem in ðrihinge definirinon poterat ferebatur in Scyram what could not be judged in the Hundred was brought to the Shire where at a certain place were kept the Pleas of the County and where were to be present take them as I find them recorded Episcopi Comites Vicedomini Vicarii Centenarii Aldermanni Praefecti Praepositi Barones Vavasores Tungrevii et caeteri
terrarum Domini diligenter intendentes c. So in the Laws of King Edgar every year let there be said he tƿa scirgemot ðaer beo on ðaer sciregemote bisceoƿ se ealdorman þaer aegþer taecan ge Godes riHte ge ƿeoruld riHte i.e. at the Shire-gemote let the Bishop and Aldermen be and there either of them teach Gods right and the Worlds right which judgement of the Vicenage and power of the County was equally used both in the time of Saxon and Norman Governments And so small was the alteration that hapned at this time that in this often cited Survey Record there among many other of the like nature is this concern of the Burrough of Wallingford in Berrochescire which concludes thus Modo sunt in ipso Burgo consuetudines omnes ut ante fuerant and so where it Records the Customes of Urchenfield it saith Hae consuetudines erant VVallensium T.R.E. id est Tempore Regis Edwardi for the men of Urchenfield in antient Records are called Welsh as this Region is called Wales for in the book of Knights-fees in the Exchequer it is written Arcenefeld in Wales respondere tenetur Daō Regi c. Should I make a parallel of Customes as well as Laws us'd in the times of the Saxons and Normans you would find them all one and both compared with the Laws of Howel-dha to prove the same mostly with them also The pepe in the Saxon Laws is rendred aestimatio capitis and those provided that in case upon an offence it could not be paid neither by the Criminal nor his Kindred then was he to undergo a service for it somewhat of this nature was in the Norman times for among the Customes of LEWES in domesdey-Domesdey-book I find that Adulterium vel raptum faciens viii Solid iv Den. emendat homo faemina tantundem Rex habet hominem Adulterum Archiepiscopus faeminam This is there set down as an antient Custome belonging to that Town in the time of the Saxons but in the time of Hen. 1. in the 11. cap. of his Laws it is thus upon a general account set down Qui uxoratus faciet Adulterium habeat Rex ejus vel Dominus I believe ejus should be set after Dominus superiorem Episcopus inferiorem and these ƿere's are sound corroborated by that Name in the Laws of Hen. 1. But in short you will find by this Domesdey-book that in most places of England it is certified they had those very Customes in the Norman Government which they had in the time of Edward the Confessour I know there be many jocular tenures but whether all of them that occurr were invented or imposed by the Normans it matters not much because they did not interfere upon propriety nor injure their other Customes One Custome reported to be brought in was the * Iudge Dodaridge in his Treatise of the Law of the Nobility and Peerage of England in his 16 page shews the manner of Saxon signing to a Charter of Henry 8. to his Son Edward when he was Created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester where it is concluded These being witnesses the Reverend Father Iohn Cardinal and Archbishop of Canterbury c. W. Archbishop of York c. Sealing of Charters but as I have seen a Charter Sealed before the Conquest so since the Conquest I have seen Charters Signed after the Saxon mode both by William the first and his Son Henry that is to say with a great number of Witnesses and Crosses before their Names Edward the Confessour made a Grant of some Privileges to the Church of Hereford and firmed it with a Seal which in one of their Register books is described to be preserved in Panno serico and a memorandum also of the circumscription of the said Seal to be this Hoc est Sigillum Regis Edwardi and in very many places of Domesdey-book it is Recorded that Lands did pass to several people under the Seal of King Edward as in Berckshire under the Title of Terra Ecclesie Abendoniensis it is specified that Anscil tenet Sperfold de Abbate Edric Tenuit in Alodio de Rege Edwardo potuit ire quo voluit c. de hoc Manerio Scira attestatur quod Edricus qui eum tenebat deliberavit illum filio suo qui erat in Abendone Monachus ut ad firmam illud teneret sibi donec viveret necessaria vitae inde donaret post mortem vero ejus Manerium haberet ideo nesciunt homines de Scira quod Abbatie pertineat neque enim inde viderunt brevem Regis vel Sigillum Abbas vero testatur quod in T.

Brytains there they drove out the Picts totally and seated themselves in their places upon which account it was that they not having any persons with whom they might co-inhabit and so participate of their Customes were upon their settlement constrained to create new Customes or else to revive their own for their best security I think them much in an errour who affirm that the Identity of Language betwixt us and Scotland was occasioned from the multitude of the Profugi or such as for the security of their persons fled under the protection of Malcolm Canmoir King of Scotland in the time of William the Conqueror certainly considering the old animosities betwixt the two Nations it would have ill become the curtesie at least the policy of the Scotcâ— King to have received so many English guests a by their number or multitude might have been able to plant their Language among his people so different from their own I must confess that notwithstanding this national enmity some he did receive out of whom he chose his wife Margaret Sister to Edgar Etheling and bestowed Lands upon divers of them A Catalogue of several of them the Bishop of Rosse hath given to us by their Surnames of whom he reckons the families of Calder Lokert Gordon Seaton Lauder Waun Meldron Shaw Lermount Libertoun Straquhin Rettraye Dundas Cockeburne Myrtom Inglis Leslye Cargill Cuilra Mar Menzeis Abercrumy Lindsay Vaus Ramsay Loval Torris Preston Sandelandis Bissat Foullis Wardlou Maxuell c.
