CAP. V.
Grounds disafforested.

AS touching them that commit[1] Trespasses of Green-hugh, or Hunting, at such Times as the Forest was disafforested; we will that those Offences shall be pardoned, saving such Trespasses which were committed in that Part which doth remain Forest; (2) yet so, as that the Hedges and Ditches made in the mean Time shall be wholly cast down, removed, and avoided; (3) saving our Arrentations, which we will have remain according, to the Assise of the Forest. (4) The Wood which is felled and cut down shall be removed, and the Wood which is standing shall remain in the Forest. (5) And if any such Wood yet standing be sold, it shall remain in the Forest, and the Seller shall satisfy the Buyer according to the Quantity of the Wood standing in the Forest, and so sold, in the mean Time, as he received of him.

CAP. VI.
Common in the Forest.

WE will also, That our Justice of the Forest, or his Lieutenant, in the Presence of our Treasurer, and by his Assent, shall have Authority to take Fines and Amerciaments of those which be indicted for Trespasses committed in our Forests, and not tarry for the Eyre of the Justice. (2) And moreover we will, that they which had Common of Pasture in the Forest before the Perambulation was made, and which were after returned into the Forest, and that were restrained of Common by the said Perambulation, shall have their Common of Pasture hereafter in the Forest, as freely and largely as they were wont to have before the Perambulation made, (3) saving our Arrentations in Form aforesaid. In witness whereof, &c. at Westminster, 28 die Maii, anno 34 Edwardi primi.[1]
