"If a man poisons another, he shall be slain or sent into permanent exile." There is a 100s. fine for violation of the king's peace or attack on people's houses or for premeditated waylaying. If anyone slays or assaults anyone who is traveling through the country on any of the following four highways, namely, Watling Street, Ermine Street, the Fosse Way, the Icknied Way, he violates the king's peace. (Two of these streets extended the length of the kingdom and two extended across its width.) For the guarding of roads, every 10 hides of the hundred shall supply a man between Michaelmas and Martinmas, or pay compensation for any livestock taken over the road, unless they have raised the hue and cry of been subject to force. A peasant is not to be harassed or ejected except for not performing his legal services. A peasant leaving the estate where he was born must be returned to it.

"If a man dies intestate [without a will], his children shall divide the inheritance equally among themselves." And if anyone comes upon a thief and of his own accord lets him escape, without raising the hue and cry, he shall make compensation by the payment of the thief's value or clear himself. "And if anyone hears the hue and cry and neglects it, he shall pay the fine for neglecting it to the king, or clear himself." If a man captures a thief without the hue and cry being given, the injured man shall pay 10s. as a fine for neglecting to arrest the thief.
