A  marginal  note  printed  within  brackets,  thus :
[custod],  signifies  that  the  entry  on  the  original  roll
has  been  scored  through  with  a  pen.  A  few  words,
the  correctness  of  which  is  more  than  usually  doubtful,
are  printed  in  italics.  Arabic  numerals  are  used
instead  of  Roman.  For  example,  instead  of  xx  s'  is
printed  2os.  (20  shillings)  ;  instead  of  1  m'  is  printed


50  m.  (50  marks) ;  instead  of  dim  m  is  printed  \  m.
(a  half-mark,  6s.  8d.) ;  and  instead  of  vj  d'  is  printed
6d.  (6  pence).
The  pleas  and   amercements   have  been  numbered
for  convenience  of  reference.
