This page will be segmented when it gets too long. Items should begin with term (if available) and year together with a letter to allow for distinguishing subsequent documents in the same year and term. The designation should be in bold. Thus an entry will appear as H1285 A:. Text thereafter should indicate what the document concerns. The link to the document should be a copied and pasted full web address (http:// . . .) surrounded by single brackets ( [ ] ). Leave a line between entries. The 25-year segments begin with a vertical bar and end with a vertical bar minus. Avoid other more complex codes. If you want to append a translation, provide a completely unique address surrounded by double brackets: Dartmouth Docs H1275 A Tr. Such an address indicates sector and year, the A indicates it is the first document entered for that year and term, the Tr indicates it is a translation. That will constitute a unique address. DO NOT attempt to re-order documents within a term to achieve a perfect chronology, since it will invalidate other references to re-named documents. A document written in Notepad will copy into the site without any complicating code. Avoid more complicated coding.

T1315 B: William le Forester v. William Segar chaplain. Trespass taking of goods and chattels at Basingstoke; not guilty plea. Verdict: "A certain Juliana wife of the abovesaid William le Forester and mother of the abovesaid William Segar chaplain languishing in extremis by license of the abovesaid William her husband executed a testament and after her testament thus executed ordered a certain one her maid to deliver to the aforementioned William Segar then present 10 p.s. that was under the same Juliana's head to celebrate for her soul, which certain maid delivered the abovesaid money to the same chaplain, the aforementioned William le Forester then wholly ignorant of this, but when he preceived that gift, he did not accept it.

T1316 A: Right to devise by will in Cambridge. Walter de Spaldyng v. Guy le Spicer, John Tuillet, Richard de Thakstede, Adam de Bungeye, and Geoffrey de Wardeboys, bailiffs of Cambridge. Concerning the will of Alan de Spalding, the bailiffs declined to probate the will because Alan was not a burgess, whereas the privilege was granted to the burgesses. This was considered a frivolous reason, since the privilege was not personal to the burgesses but general. Nevertheless, since the writ did not track the words of the charter, the case was dismissed.
