worth 162,750 livres. A discount of one-quarter of the lods
et ventes is allowed to purchasers. Annual revenue of this right 254
livres.

22. Right of tithe and of charnage. The seignior has obtained all tithe
rights, save a few belonging to the canons of Don-le-Rol and to the
prior of Chaumont. The tithes are levied on the thirteenth sheaf. They
are comprised in the leases.

23. Right of terrage or champart: the right of collecting, after the
tithes, a portion of the produce of the ground. "In Bourbonnais, the
terrage is collected in various ways, on the third sheaf, on the fifth,
sixth, seventh, and commonly one-quarter; at Blet it is the twelfth."
The seignior of Blet collects terrage only on a certain number of the
farms of his seigniory; "in relation to Brosses, it appears that all
domains possessed by copyholders are subject to the right." These rights
of terrage are comprised in the leases of the farms of Blet and of
Brosses.

24. Cens, surcens and rentes due on real property of different kinds,
houses, fields, meadows, etc., situated in the territory of the
seigniory. In the seigniory of Blet, 810 arpents, divided into 511
portions, in the hands of 120 copyholders, are in this condition, and
their cens annually consists of 137 francs in money, sixty-seven bushels
of wheat, three of barley, 159 of oats, sixteen hens, 130 chickens, six
cocks and capons; the total valued at 575 francs. On the Brosses estate,
eighty-five arpents, divided into 112 parcels, in the hands of twenty
copyholders, are in this condition, and their total cens is fourteen
francs money, seventeen bushels of wheat, thirty-two of barley,
twenty-six hens, three chickens and one capon; the whole valued at 126
francs.

25. Rights over the commons (124 arpents in Blet and 164 arpents in
Brosses).

The vassals have on these only the right of use. "Almost the whole of
the land, on which they exercise this right of pasturage, belongs to the
seigniors, save this right with which they are burdened; it is granted
only to a few individuals."

26. Rights over the fiefs mouvants of the barony of Blet. Some
are situated in Bourbonnais, nineteen being in this condition. In
Bourbonnais, the fiefs, even when owned by plebeians, simply owe la
bouche et les mains to the seignior at each mutation. Formerly the
seignior of Blet enforced, in this case, the right of redemption which
has been allowed to fall into desuetude. Others are situated in Berry
