92 THE ROYAL FORESTS OF ENGLAND 



William, son of Elias de Grenerigg, in the forest in 1280 ; but 

 he obtained a royal pardon, as it was proved that William was 

 caught in the act of venison trespass, and that he was slain on 

 refusal to be arrested. 



An eyre was held in 1285. The roll show that the forest was 

 divided into three bailiwicks, with twelve regarders for each. 

 There were twelve verderers for the whole forest. One of 

 the more noteworthy presentments at this eyre, cited in full 

 by Mr. Turner in Forest Pleas, was the charge that Isabel de 

 Clifford, who held the park of Whinfell in Westmoreland, had 

 two deer-leaps which were nuisances to the forest, one of them 

 being only a league from Inglewood Forest, and the other 

 only a league and a half. The justices for this eyre were 

 William de Vesey, Thomas de Normanvill and Richard de 

 Crepping. 



William de Vesey, whilst justice of the forest beyond Trent, 

 took to the king's use in 1289 a hundred bucks, which he 

 delivered to Peter de Chaumpvent, steward of the household ; 

 fifty of these bucks came from Inglewood Forest. He received 

 a formal quittance for taking them in September, 1290, when 

 his son, John de Vesey, succeeded him as justice of the 

 forest. 



Attachment courts were held in this forest, as was customary, 

 every forty-second day. There is an Inglewood attachment 

 roll extant of the year 1293. 



A commission was issued in 1298 to inquire, by the oath of 

 foresters and verderers of Inglewood, in the presence of 

 Robert de Clifford, justice of that forest, whether the abbot of 

 Holmcoltram had sufficient pasture without the forest launds 

 for his stud, draught oxen, and swine, or not. The abbot 

 asserted that he had chartered rights of common for these pur- 

 poses in all places in the forest between the rivers Caldew and 

 Alne. Certain of these launds had recently been enclosed, for 

 the king's profit, by Geoffrey de Nevill and William de Vesey, 

 heretofore justices of that forest. 



Pardon was granted in January, 1300, to John, Bishop of 

 Carlisle, and his men for taking a buck in this forest. In the 

 same month, power was granted by the Crown to Robert de 

 Clifford, forest justice, and two others, to divide up the king's 

 wastes in the wood of Allerdale, within the forest bounds, into
