As for the details of the trial, of them we know nothing.[450] Boteler kept the complaint and the answer, the replication and the rejoinder, in papers, "whereof the tenor," says the _Leet Book_, "her ensuen ..." but just at this place occurs an unlucky break. The careful and zealous town clerk was called away, no doubt, at that moment on business of the first importance; there are no further entries made; so there can be nothing told of the trial in the Star Chamber that Martinmas and of the long agony of Laurence Saunders. FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 360: Ashley, _Econ. Hist._ i. pt. ii. 53. The act was repealed in 1511-12. In 1522 an order of leet was passed in Coventry to the effect that the mayor should warn any baker, who had offended twice against the assize, not to bake any more in the city unless he could find surety that his fault should not be repeated, and further, no victualler or butcher was allowed henceforth to be on the jury of leet (_Leet Book_, 682).] [Footnote 361: The loaf varied in weight, but not in price, with the price of corn (Green, ii. 35).] [Footnote 362: Harl. MS. 6,388 _passim_. It is difficult to determine the date of these risings, so great is the variation between the different lists of mayors; and so often do Coventry historians antedate events, owing to the confusion between the old and new styles. It is noticeable that the mayor in 1381 was Thomas Kele, one of the founders of the Trinity guild.] [Footnote 363: Corp. MS. F. 3. It is here said that the mayor, bailiffs, and commonalty "was seized in their demesne as of fee" of the common lands in right of the community. There was much uncertainty among the lawyers of that time as to the entity possessing rights over the common lands.] [Footnote 364: Cicely de Montalt, in her grant to the prior of the manorial "waste" attached to the Earl's-half, reserves for all cottiers their reasonable pasture (Harl. MS. 6,388, f. 2). Walter de Coventre bequeathed to his fellow-townsmen and their heirs for ever his rights of pasture for all the cattle in all his lands (_Ib._).] [Footnote 365: To pay for the expenses of the fee-ferm, etc. On enclosures to pay for pageants, see below.] [Footnote 366: I am indebted for the identification of this piece of land to Mr Beard, late town clerk of Coventry.] [Footnote 367: The land in question stretched from Whitley brook to Baron's Field, which was enclosed in 1845 as a cemetery.] [Footnote 368: _Leet Book_, 113.] [Footnote 369: Corp. MS. F. 4.] [Footnote 370: An obscure word.] [Footnote 371: Ear = plough.] [Footnote 372: Individual profit.] [Footnote 373: Get possession of.] [Footnote 374: Put in the pound.] [Footnote 375: _Leet Book_, 349.] [Footnote 376: Corp.
