de novo erunt admisi ad vad' Reg. quam de extravaganti- 

 bus/ etc. And again, ' Marescalli autem de supervenien- 

 tibus debent inferiori Marescallo testimonium perhibere.'' 

 The functions of this dignitary are thus defined : ' Officium 

 autem Marescalli est praebendam contra praepositum talli- 

 are, et numerum equorum Senescallo hospitii in compoto 

 diei qualibet nocte computare, at ipse in rotulo suo nume- 

 rum equorum possit inverere, specifiando nomina super- 

 venientium de eorum adventu, et mora. i. Item furfur 

 a praeposito per talliam recipere, cum vide necesse habue- 

 rit, et inde Sen compotum reddere, ut fiat de furfure, sicat

 quam de eorum custibus, et ubi ea allocaverit Sen' de-

In London, during the reign of Edward I., we not 

 only find the designation of ' Mareschal ' in every-day 

 use, but also a regulation defining the prices to be charged 

 by him for his labour and materials ; from which we 

 learn, that for putting on a common shoe with six nails, 

 \\d. was to be paid; with eight nails, id.\ and for re- 

 moving the same, \d. For putting a shoe on a courser, 

 i\d.\ on a war-horse, o^d.-^ and for removing a shoe on 

 either, id. This is notified in the Norman French of 

 the ' Liber Albus ' of the London Guildhall, and is headed 

 as follows : 



' De Marescallis, Fabris, et Armuraris. 



' Q.e Mareschals preignent pur fer de chival, de vi 

 clowes, i denier obole ; de viii clowes, ii deniers ; et pur 

 ' Fleta, Lib. ii. cap. 14, p. 4. = Ibid. cap. 74.
