Excerpt from The Court Baron: Being Precedents for Use in Seignorial and Other Local Courts; Together With Select Pleas From the Bishop of Ely's Court of Littleport
The miscellaneous character Of this volume may require some explanation. Mr. Paley Baildon and I were charged by the Council Of the Society with the task Of continuing the work begun in the volume published in 1889, by print ing some more extracts from the rolls Of manorial courts, and one Of those books Of precedents that are included in this volume. But from one Of these books I was led on to another, and SO to a third, and to a fourth; for, having Once Opened this new vein Of materials, one could not easily stop working it until it had been somewhat fully explored. Meanwhile Mr. Baildon had been making extracts from the ancient and important rolls Of Letcombe Regis, a manor on the royal demesne. Until a late moment I hoped that there would be room for his work as well as for mine; but the precedents proved more bulky than I had expected, and in the end it was discovered that this volume would be full before Letcombe Regis was reached. I hope that the fruit Of Mr. Baildon's labours will be given to the world in some later, and not much later, volume Of our series. I hope, also, that when mem bers of the Society have looked at the books Of precedents, they will allow that, if I have erred in printing them upon the present occasion, the temptation to which I was exposed was one not easily to be resisted.
