Note 85 — Chapter II · THE ORDINARY TRAVELLER AND THE CASUAL PASSER-BY
Lucy Toulmin Smith translation
“Statutes of the Realm,” 4 Edward III, ch. 3. Eight bushels make a quarter. [The Act 25 Edward III, stat. 5, ch. 10, A.D. 1351, provided that every measure of corn should be striken without heap, and that the royal purveyors should use this measure. Hence the name strike for a bushel. L. T. S.]
