same payable to the prior of Tutbury, and 55^. for the pannage 

 of small pigs. The outgoings show that this ward, like that 

 of Helper, also paid 8s. a year for guarding the road of the 

 Cross on Derby market days. 



The heaviest outgoing was the aggregate sum of 3 2s. i \\d. 

 for renewing and repairing the pale fences and clearing the 

 dykes, particularly round Shottle Park ; 4?. $\d. was also paid 

 for new fencing within that park by the side of the Ecclesburn 

 to protect the meadow land there, and \^d. for making a water 

 gate. There were further small sums for park gates, and for 

 mending a bridge and for the carriage of the timber for these 

 various purposes. The sum of 2s. qd. was paid for strewing 

 deer-browse in the winter. A pinfold was removed from 

 Hazelwood and carried to Shottle at the small charge of 6d. 

 The most interesting outlay in the accounts of this ward is the 

 expenditure of the sum of 6^. 8d. on mending the road be- 

 tween the parks of Shottle and Postern for the carriage of 

 coal to the lord's forge, which stood, as we learn from other 

 accounts, on the further side of the Ecclesburn, just beyond 

 Cowhouse Lane. The expenses of the foresters and others in 

 connection with the pannage amounted to 17.?. &., whilst 

 149. ^d. was paid to the clerks of the master forester and the 

 attorney of the prior of Tutbury and the foresters at the 

 pannage court. 



Of Colebrook ward, John FitzRalph was the receiver, and 

 his receipts for the year, including the recovery of the large 

 amount of 36 gs. io\d. of arrears, came to 70 13^. 6\d. 

 The agistment of Milnhay produced $is. io\d., and of Shottle 

 park (most of which was in this ward) 15 ids. yd. The 

 herbage of Schymeed (Shining Cliff) brought in ifs. The 

 townships of Alderwasley, Colebrook, Ashleyhay, Hulland, 

 Newbiggin, and Idridgehay paid a composition of 4^., prob- 

 ably as an acknowledgment from the "outlands" parks. The 

 fishery of the Ecclesburn produced nothing that year, but 6d. 

 was paid for the Derwent fishery rights of this ward. Henry 

 del Hay paid 2$. as composition with the lord's tenants within 

 the forest. Licences for fowlers in this ward and in Shottle 

 produced 4^. The sale of wood, bark, and boughs realised
