3 Waytiseottis. Waynscots were oak boards chiefly used for covering or lining 

 the inner walls of buildings. Hence the modem term Wainscot for the panneUing 

 nowused for the same purpose. " In vj waynscotts emptis apud Steresbrugge ij », iij^ " 

 Burcester Compotus, 3rd and 4th Hen. VI. " Item, paid at Ely fayre for xij bords 

 of waynescotte, xiij»." Hengrave Accounts, 1627. The term is said to be derived 

 from the German, Wandschotten, composed of the old Teutonic word, Wand, a wall, 

 and Schottm, to defend. Kennett's Paroch. Antiq., Vol. II. p. 247. In 1499, 

 100 "Wayne-scotts were given by Thomas Chapman "towards the selying of the 

 wallez" of the Common Hall at York. Corp. Archives. 



* Staceiia. Probably from Staca, Palus, (Ducange.) A stake. 



* Pro sarracione iiij^* xij tractuum. The word tracius is used in early accounts 

 to signify the traces by which horses draw a cart or waggon. In the present com- 

 potus it obviously means the narrow lengths into which the waynscots were sawn 

 for difierent parts of the doors and windows. Thus trades, a joist or beam, a traho, 

 quia de und parte parietis ad aliam trahitur. Prompt. Parv., p. 196.
