The following examples will show the type of entry. Under Billingham we find : 



' Terra Capta. Johannes filius viduae obiit seisitus de j bondagio ; Diota filia Thomae uxor 

 ejusdem Johannis obiit seisitus de j bondagio ; qui habuerunt ij ollas 

 aeneas, j patellam, j plumbum, ij affros, ij carectas, j carucam, iij bestias, 

 v cqos, iij boves, j vaccam, xij bidentes, xiij acras bladi hyemalis et 

 xx acras bladi vernalis.' 



'Terra Capta. Johannes Been obiit seisitus de cotagio et vj acris terrae et Agnes uxor ejus 

 manucepit satisfaciendo Domino et aliis ut decet.' 



There is a fourth roll (Loc. 4, No. 141) apparently referring to the mortality among other 

 free tenants, but it is torn and partly illegible. It has several superscriptions, one at least written 

 over a faded part of the original writing. The titles are : ' Inquisitio de liberis tenentibus 

 prioris in prima pestilencia,' or ' In prima pestilencia Inquisitio Anno Domini MCCCXLIX.'
