NOTES ON PAWSTON, MINDRUM, SHOTTON, ETC. 181 



grind their corn which they might cultivate or liave in the 

 territory of Colpenhope and of Schottun, at the mill of Schottun 

 without any multure, if it should please them there to grind, 

 so that none shall compel them to gi-ind there unless they 

 wish ; and if they wish to grind, they shall have liberty of 

 grinding immediately after the corn which is " super trimodwni," 

 in all time continuously, unless it might be the corn of the 

 lord, and they shall be wholly undisturbed about the working 

 of the mill and the dam, and multure, and the bringing home 

 of the stones [i.e. the mill-stones]. I have conceded also pasture 

 sufficient for 400 ewes and 40 cows in the territory of Schottun, 

 everywhere outside the corn and meadow ; that is to say, the 

 nutrimentum which is produced by the cows [may be manure, 

 or may be used for fuel] shall after 6 years be removed, and 



then after other 6 years in a like manner ; and so always 



it shall be done continually. And no one will plough or do 

 any work from the Western side of the mountain of Homeldun 

 to hinder free access or outlet of their animals to the pastures, 

 and so beyond that mountain to the pastures of the vill of 

 Schottun. Free from "inwar and utwar." Places his seal.

 of Schottun which lies liearest to Colpenhope, from the 

 Eastern side, to wit, as the rivulet descends near Colpenhope, 

 as far as unto that rivulet which divides England and 

 Scotland, and so by that rivulet as it descends towards the 

 chapel of St. Edilride, the Virgin, as far as another rivulet 

 which descends near Homeldun, and afterwards by the 

 same rivulet to a glen where that rivulet from Homeldun 

 crosses the way which comes from letham, and so by the 

 foresaid way to two great stones. [The land assigned for their 

 own uses. It is noticed, as in last, that the nutrimentum 

 that accumulates from the cows shall be removed after the sixth 

 year, and so on, the manure from the cattle apparently to be 

 removed every six years]. He also concedes and confirms
