The following terms which may be of interest to
subscribers are mentioned in a 1173 Charter of Henry
II to the burgesses of Preston Lancashire creating
that town a free borough with a guild merchant, and
all the liberties and free customs pertaining to such
a guild.

The terms are concerned about their rights to trade,
and include to be quit of:-

Toll; Passage; Postage; Stallage; Lastage; and Ulnage.

And that the burgesses shall have all manner of surety
of the peace, and:

Soke,Sake,Toll,and Team; Infangthief; Utfangthief;
Hamsoken; Gryth-Bryce; Blood-Wite; Plite-Wite;
Flit-Wite; Fyrd-Wite; For-Steal; Child-Wite;
Wapentake; Lastage; Stallage; Shoo-Wynde; Hundred; and
Aver-Penny

for all manner of treasons, murders, felonies, riots,
chattels of felons, and all other customs and actions
etc etc.

The language of the 1100s was rich with terms no
longer used.

Sincerely Yours,
