if the salter's cart breaks
down, the salter's horses ought to have pasture on
Geoffrey's land without challenge while he repairs his cart.
And Geoffrey comes and confesses that he takes the said
customs, and ought to take them, for he and his ancestors
have taken them from the conquest of England, and he puts
himself on the grand assize of our lord the king, and craves

the said letters being read in full county [court] the
county told the said Hugh that he must find pledges that he
would be in the king's peace, and he went away to find
pledges, and afterwards did not appear. But the kinsfolk of
the slain, having heard that Hugh had returned after his
