THE BURTON CHARTULARY. 133 
eidem domino suo detulit quantum Roberto de Swinnerton cui juramentum 
condonavit.” That as regards the killing of the cow and the ox, if he would 
bring his complaint before the Abbot’s Court, justice should be done to him, 
and the same for the beating of his man Merieth. 
That as regards the erection of the mill at Finderne, the Abbot had humbled 
himself by asking for permission to complete the mill, on condition that no 
multure should take place there to the injury of the said Robert, and that the 
question of compensation should be left to arbitration ; and the Abbot considers 
that the expenses incurred by him in consequence of Robert’s proceedings should 
be refunded to him by the arbitration of good men, etc. 
The above account appears from its form to have been drawn up for the 
decision of an arbitrator, but the result does not appear.
