 Derby, clerk, William le Lui, Alex, de Lowes, Rad. de Witeleg, and

(28) Jilnow ye, &c., that I, Ralph, the son of Ralph de 

 Wistanton, have given, &:c., to God and the Church of the 

 B. Mary of Derley, and the canons, &c., and their tenants in the 

 vill. of Wistanton, pasturage for 12 oxen, and for 6 cows, with 

 their calves of two years, and for 4 horses or 4 mares, with their 

 offspring of two years, and for 24 sheep, with lambs of one year, 

 and 40 sheep without young, and 2 sows, with their young of one 

 year, in the common pasture (>( Winstanlon, in consideration of 

 the pasture appertaining to 5 bovates and one acre of land which 

 the abbot and canons hold in the same vill. in pure alms, and 

 which Nicholas Ball and Robert Pistor (Baker) once held; not- 

 withstanding that that pasture was measured by my request on 

 the King's brief. But if the abbot and convent or their tenants 

 have not so many animals and small cattle (or sheep) of their 

 own, then freely and without blame they may have in the said 

 pasture the said number of animals brought there and depastured. 

 Furthermore, it shall be lawful to them instead of horses and 

 beasts of burden, to have oxen or cows, or oxen for cows, or cows 

 for both, and to change any kind of animal (averii) for another to 

 keep in the said pasture. And if my men or my heirs have goats, 

 it shall be lawful for them to have goats according to their 

 holding. If the animals and sheep of the said abbot and convent, 

 or of their tenants, enter within my enclosure of Wistanton, owing 

 to the weakness or breakage of my fences, tliey are not to be 

 taken except in the place they are feeding, but to be removed 

 peaceably, &c. Warranty. Sealing. AVitnesses : Ralph de 

 Winefeld, Walter de Uffton, Peter de Vlkerthorpp, Walter de 

 Morley, Roger de Derby, clerk. Will, le Luy, Alex, de Lowes, 

 Jordan de Ibull, Will, son of Ralph de Merston, Fulcher son of 

 Fulcher de Ireton, John son of Thomas Oweur, and others."
