THE COURT ROLLS OF BASLOW, DERBYSHIRE. 3 



Robert Watson brewed once and sold in basons and did 

 not send for the taster. James North sold also in ^' discis" 

 or bowls not measured. 



Will, de ffolovv took a mess & a bovate of land called the 



messuage in Le Woro. Ingress fine i6'. 8^ 

 Milicent de Horsley surrendered a cot & a rod of land to the 



use of Joan, dau. of Thomas. 

 Every one is ordered to repair his fences and they ought to 

 make '' Ledzates" against the Feast of Trinity. The 

 horizontal bar of a gate or stile is termed the ledge. 

 A "ledzale" may possibly mean a '' clitnb stile'' with two 

 or three bars across. Observe, the intimation about 

 making "Ledzates" follows the order for repairing the 

 ''prostrate" hedges— inferring that gaps would not be 

 made if stiles were duly provided. 

 The following appears to be a schedule or "Bill" of the 

 third part of the Haddon or Vernon estate assigned for the
