 ' Stanlei,' for all of them, except Stretton, appear sub- 

 sequently in the leet of Marlon and were therefore 

 probably in ' Meretone ' Hundred at the time of 

 Domesday. They are all now in Knightlow Hun- 

 dred, which has swallowed up ' Meretone ' and 

 Stanlei ' Hundreds. With regard however to 

 Wolston, see note i on p. 308.
