9> These three entries duplicate the account of the 

 lands of William the Usher on p. 327. The chief 

 differences are that the holders before the Conquest 

 are given here, and that the two entries relating to 

 Long Clawson on p. 327 are here made into one ; 

 the details in the two former entries being added 

 together in the total given. In the case of the 

 bordars this is done incorrectly ; their total number 

 should be 3 not 4. See Feud. Engl. 27.
