The document, which is evidently a private compilation, seems to be a custumal, or coustumier, of a district, or some considerable portion of the country.

Mr. Smirke contributes a valuable notice of the Custumal of Bleadon,—Mr. Newton, Notes on the Sculptures at Wilton,—Mr. Hawkins on The Mints of Wiltshire; and not the least interesting portion of the volume consists of notices respecting Silbury and Avebury, by the late excellent and lamented Dean of Hereford.

They may be explained by the fact that the persons engaged in drawing up a custumal, jotted down denominations of the peasantry without comparing them carefully with what preceded.

The Custumal published among the Statutes speaks of the personal freedom of all Kentish-men, although it has to concern itself specially with the gavelkind tenantry.

Rochester Custumal, 4, a: 'De omnibus decem jugis debent scotare ad donum domini ville et ad servicium domini Regis.'
