230 PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 1914 



Mediaeval life, is the Court of Attachments'. This is still held 

 at the Speech House by the Verderers, every 40 days, but they 

 rarely have other duties to perform than to adjourn the Court 

 for 40 days — although cases with regard to encroachments 

 on the Forest can be brought to them, and the signature of 

 two of their number is necessary on the Conveyances of small 

 pieces of accommodation land — and they no longer receive 

 the ancient emoluments of horses, swords and spears, nor 

 even the 200 shillings.

 Jones, and Sir Francis Brsiin— Verderers ; The Deputy-Surveyor of: he Forest ; and I. W Guise—
