complaining that by unlawful vexation the landholders compelled
them at their cost by one of the monks their fellows or by their
bailiff to make a breakfast yearly on the feast of St. Peters Chains
for twelve or fourteen persons, landholders of the town chosen at
will by the parishioners, that those so chosen did without the
assent of the abbot and convent choose seven guardians, four on
horseback called 'ryders' and three on foot called 'pynders,' to
guard the fields of Barton for protection of the corn therein
growing so that until the fulness of autumn and the garnering
thereof it should not be destroyed by any man's cattle, taking of
the abbot and convent each of them his meat for the whole of that
time, 6s. 8d. and one load of pease in name of wages by the hands
of the bailiff in their rectory there for the time being, and complaining that once every year in autumn before the carrying of
the autumn sheaves there they and other the landholders caused
the abbot and convent as rectors at their cost to find a banquet
in three courses to all landholders of the town, and laid upon them
as rectors other unlawful charges not to be borne, to the ruin of
the monastery, wherefore by mediation of trusty friends and
inspiration of the holy spirit the persons above named and other
the landholders have granted that the abbot and convent, their
successors, farmers and deputies shall henceforth be quit of those
charges, except that on the said feast they or their bailiff for the
time being shall choose five guardians of the fields, two 'ryders'
and three 'pynders,' who shall the same day at the parish church
be sworn in presence of the landholders, if they will be present,
to guard the fields and corn all that time as best they can and
may, that they shall from time to time truly certify to the injured
party damage to corn in the fields, and shall on behalf of the abbot
and convent take poundage and profit for corn carried away, as
used to be done of old time, that if the guardians shall be careless,
whereby damage shall happen to the landholders, the abbot and
convent or their bailiff shall make recompense for them according
to the amount of the fault up to that of the guardians' autumn
wages, namely 6s. 8d. and one load of pease each and no more,
and if corn be destroyed or taken away which might not come to
the knowledge of the guardians, the abbot and convent, their
farmers and deputies and the guardians shall be thereof discharged,
and the persons above named and other the landholders have
released to the abbot and convent and to their successors all
claims, charges and imposts with the exceptions aforesaid. Dated
