54 ROLLS OF COURT BARON OF WINTERBORNE WASTE. 



APPOINTING THE HOMAGE. 



A court was held for the appointment and swearing in of the 

 homage, after which the court adjourned and met for the trans- 

 action of business later in the year. 



MANNER OF SUMMONING THE COURT. 



Specimens are given beneath of summons issued in 1695 and 

 1705. Following these is a list of the tenants of the manor and 

 a copy (the abbreviated Latin extended) of the survey of the 

 manor, with a description of the holding of each copyholder, 

 accepted at the Court held after the death of John Stevins 

 (1719-1722). It will be seen that the Latin is rather corrupt.
