Note 877 — APPENDIX.
Reading edition
Besides the extracts from the Stoneleigh Register quoted on p. 113, n. 1, and p. 198, n. 1, I may be allowed to call attention to f. 76: 'Item nullus adiudicabitur tenens terre nisi quia curia tenens acceptatur per fidelitatem et alias consuetudines licet tenens extra curiam aliquem feoffaverit per cartam vel sine carta.' Maitland, Manorial Rolls of King's Ripton (Selden Soc. ii). p. 122: 'Capiatur in manum domini quarta pars unius rode prati jacens in Smalemade quam Rogerus Greyling vendidit Nicholao le Neuman sine licencia curie.' Cf. as to the references to the Court-roll in case of doubt and contention. Augmentation Off. Court Rolls, Ripton Regis, xxiii, N. 94, f. 10: 'Et quod iuncta est secum vocat rotulos ad Warantum. Et predicta Mathildis dicit quod uxor eius non est iuncta et ponit se super rotulos.' Now the importance of the Roll is derived from the authority of the Court of which it records the proceedings.
