trespass, pledge to prosecute, William Walker, to wit, that she has not
made an enclosure which she is bound to make between his holdings and
her own holdings in Mikelington, so that for lack of enclosure there
divers cattle entered and fed off his corn, to wit, his rye and oats and
grass, to his damages of 10s. And the aforesaid Alice defends and says
that the aforesaid Roger, and not she, is bound to make an enclosure
there, and hereon she puts herself upon the country. But the jurors
hereupon elected, tried and sworn, say on their oath that the aforesaid
Roger is bound to make the aforesaid enclosure between the aforesaid
holdings. And therefore it is awarded that the aforesaid Roger be in
mercy for his false claim, and that the said Alice go without a day.
