* The classical proclivities of the writer — probably Henry of Ayton, 

 called the clerk — no doubt suggested to him the imposing designation 

 for a man who was in all likelihood styled colloquially " Henry of 

 the Bounds " or limits of the liberties of Berwick. The Mayor still 

 "rides the Bounds" of the good town. Pomoerinm was the space left 

 free within and without the walls of a town, marked off by stone 

 pillars. See the word used in this sense by Juvenal, Sat. ix. and ii., v.
