9. WRIT TO THE BAILIFF ERRANT FOR THE COUNTY OF OXFORD
OCTOBER, 1377
Amongst the Stonor MSS. in Ch. Misc., 37, i, there are 21 Writs, Man- dates, and Precepts relating to Edmund de Stonor's term of office as sheriff. Many of them are badly damaged, five of the most perfect are printed here (see Nos. 13, 15, 20, 21) as examples of an interesting and uncommon class of documents. From Ch. Misc., 37, i, 15.
