6 The Record Commission's edition here reads 

 Hi., and although the facsimile appears, at first 

 sight, to give ii., the position of the dot after the 

 figure implies that a minim has been obliterated. 

 Moreover the total requires that we should read 

 iii. (J. H. R.). 



6 Now all in Leicestershire. Part of Appleby (not 

 the church town) used to be in Derbyshire, but 

 has recently been transferred to Leicestershire. 



7 In the survey of Leicestershire the Countess
