* There are one or two points connected with these Hampshire Hundreds, 

 on which we may in passing offer a few remarks. It is often said that we owe 

 the institution of Shires, Tithings, and Hundreds to Alfred the Great, but 

 these certainly existed long before his time, for they are alluded to in the 

 laws of King Ina, c. A.D. 700. By referring to the list it will be observed 

 that of the five Hundreds comprised in the Purveyance there are but two 

 called from the chief town within their limits, viz.: Kingsclere and Overtoil. 

 Of the rest Evingar, ( Kvi n aare of Domesday); Chuteley, (CUlei of Domesday); 

 and Pastrow or Pastroe, afi traces have long since perished of the sources from 

 which they were originally derived, and the interpretation seems to point to a 

 remote time when this part of the country was but thinly peopled, and there 

 were but few towns or villages of any note in it.
