[Footnote 214: The number eight perhaps, is unusual for
the jury of a Hundred but we have an instance in 1222, of a
'jurata per octo legales cives Lincolniæ et præterea per octo
legales homines de visneto Lincolnie' (_Bracton's Note-book_,
ii. 121); and see Addenda.]
[Footnote 215: His surname is there omitted, but his identity
is proved by Humphrey 'de Anslevilla' occurring elsewhere as
an under-tenant of Eudo.]
[Footnote 216: So I conclude from his _Introduction to
Domesday_, i. 22, note 2.]
[Footnote 217: _Inquisitio Comitatus Cantabrigiensis_, pp. 97
_et seq._]
[Footnote 218: Ed. Hamilton, pp. 184-9.]
[Footnote 219: _Ibid._, pp. 97, 101.]
[Footnote 220: C omits 'et'.]
[Footnote 221: Here the scribe of C, puzzled by the
evident corruption of the text from which he copied, read
'inv[enit]'.]
[Footnote 222: 'Toft' (rightly) in C.]
[Footnote 223: Chauelæi, C.]
[Footnote 224: Stanhard[us], B, C.]
[Footnote 225: Frauuis, C.]
[Footnote 226: Chertelinge, C.]
[Footnote 227: Cheleia, C.]
[Footnote 228: Wigeni, C. This was 'Wigonus de mara' (I.C.C.)
or 'Wighen' (D.B.) Count Alan's under-tenant at Ditton.]
[Footnote 229: Eurard[us] in D.B.]
[Footnote 230: 'Juraverunt homines scilicet Alerann[us],
Rogger[us] homo Walteri Giffardi' omitted in C.]
[Footnote 231: A sokeman of the Abbot of Ely at Suafham.]
[Footnote 232: Staplehoe Hundred.]
[Footnote 233: This is a noticeable case because 'mo' has
been interlined in B text of I.E., and because this man can
be identified in I.C.C. and D.B. as an under-tenant in the
Hundred.]
[Footnote 234: The I.E. version ('bans') is the right one.]
[Footnote 235: Rectius 'I. hidam'.]
[Footnote 236: C text.]
[Footnote 237: Commend' 'S. ae.' is found on 386_b_, _ad
pedem_.]
[Footnote 238: From internal evidence I hold this writ to have
been sent from over sea. It cannot have been issued by William
Rufus, for the Bishop of Coutances rebelled against him in
1088, and William Rufus did not go abroad till later in his
reign.]
[Footnote 239: This is usually quoted 'inquirunt', which is
the wrong reading.]
[Footnote 240: The right reading.]
[Footnote 241: Quantum in C text.]
[Footnote 242: The text here seems to be corrupt, C reading
'tunc' for 'simul'. As the 'tunc' and 'modo' formula is
represented in the next clause, it seems more probable that
'simul' is the right reading, and refers to the totals entered
in the _Inquisitio_. In that case the words 'et quantum modo'
are an interpolation.]
[Footnote 243: Hallow near Worcester.]
[Footnote 244: Note, Ash--'Esch'--'Naisse'.]
[Footnote 245: Compare the heading of the 'breve abbatis':
'Hic imbreviatur quot carucas', etc., etc. The returns of the
Norman barons in 1172 were styled 'breves'.]
