FEUDAL PRIVILEGES OF THE HONOUR AND MANOR OF HORNBY.--These ancient privileges comprised free warren, subject to a fine of 10_l._ on encroachments on the King's forests; right of market and fair at Arkholme and at Hornby; court of view of frank-pledge; sheriff's turn; free court of all pleas; assize of bread; soc, sac, tol, and them; infangetheof and utfangetheof; hamsocn; leyrwite; murder; acquittance of shires and hundreds, lestage [or lastage], aids of sheriffs and their bailiffs, and amercements; wardships, and works and enclosures of castles, parks, and bridges; and of passage, frontage, stallage, toll, paiage, and money given for murder; and right to pontage, stallage, hidage, and pickage. All these feudal customs were confirmed in the 12th Charles I. (1636) to Henry Parker, Lord Morley and Monteagle.[212] A number of the above terms require explanation. "Money given for murder," implied the fines levied on a district in which a murder had been committed, and the criminal not discovered; "the privilege of murder" was the power to levy such fines; thus the town or hundred which suffered an Englishman, who had killed a Dane there to escape, was to be amerced sixty-six marks [44_l._] to the King. _Hamsocn_, is the privilege or liberty of a man's own house, its violation is burglary. _Leyr_ or _lecher wite_, is the privilege of punishing adultery and fornication. Passage is a toll for passing over water, as at a ford or ferry; pontage is bridge toll; stallage, a toll for stalls in a market; paiage or pavage, is a paving toll. _Sac_, the right of a lord to hold pleas in his court, in causes of trespass among his tenants; _soc_, the right to administer justice and execute laws; _toll_, the right to levy tolls on tenants; _them_, the right to hear, restrain, and judge bondmen and villeins, with their children, goods and chattels, &c. _Infangetheof_, the lord's privilege to judge any thief taken within his fee. _Outfangtheof_, the right of the lord to call men dwelling within his manor, and taken for felony outside his fee, to judgment in the lord's own court.
