This 'novel and important proposition', as its author truly described it, was probably the most notable contribution to our knowledge that the Domesday Commemoration produced. The Canon's theory, which (so far as his own East Riding is concerned) he certainly seems to have established, is, at first sight, fatal to mine. But, on the other hand, my own theory can be proved no less clearly for Leicestershire, where the 'carucata terræ' and the ploughs are often connected in about the same ratio as in Yorkshire.[166] This leads us to inquire whether, even in the East Riding (where his theory works best), we may not find traces of that assessment by the six-carucate unit which I advocate myself. Such traces in Yorkshire we have already seen,[167] but there is other and stronger evidence. If we take the modern Wapentake of Dickering (the first on Canon Taylor's list) and examine its three Domesday Hundreds of Turbar, Hunton, and Burton, we obtain these results:[168] TURBAR HUNDRED Hundemanebi 24 Ricstorp, Mustone, Scloftone, and Neuton 18 Flotemanebi 6 Muston and Neuton 6 Fordun and Ledemare 6 Burton, Fulcheton, and Chelc 30 Chelc (2), Ergone, Bringeham, Estolf, Fodstone, and Chemelinge 19 Nadfartone 23-3/4 Pochetorp 6 Helmeswelle and Gartune 44 HUNTON HUNDRED Flaneburg and Siwardbi 24-1/2 Marton 9 Bredinton 18 Hilgertorp 6 Wivlestorp and Basingebi 12 Frestintorp 9 } Eleburne 1/2 } 29-1/2 Eston 6 } Bovintorp 14 } Gerendele 12 Ricton, Benton and Spetton 24 Bocheton 12 Fleuston 14 } Stactone 6 } 27 Foxhole 7 } BURTON HUNDRED
