^{page 254 note 1} This membrane has no heading, but on the tongue is written ‘Perquisita hundredorum Cornubie’. The 8⅓ hundreds have been distinguished either by means of internal evidence and comparison with the accounts for the next year (Mins. Accts. 811/1), or by indications in the margin of the roll which are here treated as headings.

^{page 254 note 2} From the evidence of such place-names as can be identified, these two paragraphs concern Penwith hundred. The earl held ⅓ of this hundred, together with the other eight hundreds of ‘Pitershire, Pudershire, Trigashire, Lisnewith, Statton, Estwefelshire, Westwefelshire, and Kerrier’. Cal. inq, p. m., iii. 457, 458.Google Scholar

^{page 254 note 3} MS. ‘stetit’ in full. It seems impossible always to decide, when the verb is abbreviated, whether one man or several committed the misdeed for which amercements were exacted.

^{page 254 note 4} MS. ‘concell'’; written ‘concello’, in full, on p. 255.

^{page 256 note 1} This is followed by one blank line in the MS.

^{page 271 note 1} MS. ‘conteptu’.

^{page 273 note 1} *…* added in a different hand.

^{page 273 note 2} There is no heading to this membrane, but the accounts are for the proceeds of the county court (cf. Cal. inq. p. m., iii. 458Google Scholar). This is confirmed by the Cornish accounts for the following year, 26 Edward I (Mins. Accts. 811/1). These two sets of accounts follow the same order (except for the transposition of Talskiddy and Tywarnhaile), but in the later year the ‘Summe’ are stated, for the several hundreds and for the county, with a grand total for all (£189 8s. 2½d.).

^{page 273 note 3} MS. ‘pro fals,'’ only.

^{page 275 note 1} MS. ‘Bod.’

^{page 277 note 1} The MS. ends here, apparently at the end of a paragraph. The membrane is torn across, roughly in half and not quite straight, so that the middle parts of two lines of writing are missing. The dorse of the membrane is blank.
