[Footnote 110: 'Unum hundret quod vocatur Oswaldeslaw in quo
jacent ccc. hidæ.'--_D.B._, i., 172_b._]
[Footnote 111: It also contained one 23-hide and two 24-hide
Manors, which were once perhaps, of 25 hides. The Church
of Worcester, also possessed, outside this Hundred, Manors
(_inter alia_) of 20, 15, 10, and 5 hides. (_See_ below, p.
143.)]
[Footnote 112: D.B., i. 175_b._]
[Footnote 113: I make the aggregate 118-1/2 hides.]
[Footnote 114: 'Quæ hic [Dodintret hundred] placitant et
geldant et ad Hereford reddunt firmam suam.' It would
have been said in Cambridgeshire that their 'wara' was in
Doddentree Hundred.]
[Footnote 115: Eyton's _Somerset Survey_, ii, 25.]
[Footnote 116: Eyton's _Dorset Domesday_, p. 14.]
[Footnote 117: I drew attention in the _Archæological Review_
(vol. 1) to a Cornish survey of 21 Ed. I. (_Testa de Nevill_,
p. 204), in which every Cornish acre contains a Cornish
carucate.]
[Footnote 118: _Domesday Studies_, p. 172.]
[Footnote 119: 'A New View of the Geldable Unit of Assessment
of Domesday.' _Ibid_., pp. 227-363, 561-619.]
[Footnote 120: _Archæological Review_, i, 285-95; iv, 130-40,
391.]
[Footnote 121: _Ibid._, iv, 325.]
[Footnote 122: A curious hint of the grouping of Vills is
afforded in Oxfordshire by Adderbury and Bloxham. Domesday
first gives us an assessment of 34-1/2 hides in the two, and
then 15-1/2 hides in Adderbury, making in all, for the two, 50
hides, the same as Banbury.]
[Footnote 123: This evidence is rendered available by the
useful _Notes on the Oxfordshire Domesday_, published by the
Clarendon Press in 1892.]
[Footnote 124: 40 + 5 + 5.]
[Footnote 125: 'Unam hidam et iii^{es.} virgatas et iii^{ciam.}
partem de i. virgata.']
[Footnote 126: 'Dimidiam hidam et iii^{ciam.} partem dimidiæ
hidæ.']
[Footnote 127: Lysons. So also Domesday: '_soco vero jacebat
in Stains_'.]
[Footnote 128: _Domesday Studies_, i. 120. See also _supra_,
p. 45, and the case of Northampton, _infra_.]
[Footnote 129: _Domesday_, i. 64_b._]

[Footnote 131: _English Historical Review_, 1889, iv. 728-9.]
[Footnote 132: _Archæological Review_, iv. 313-27.]
[Footnote 133: Mr Stevenson, perhaps, is rather too severe
on Canon Taylor's 'Carucate' remarks in the _New English
Dictionary_. Strictly, no doubt, the Canon was mistaken, with
Mr Pell, in reckoning 120 as 144 'by the English number'; but
the evidence in his paper on 'the plough and the ploughland'
seems to establish a practice of counting by twelve instead of
ten.]
