He did not , however , withdraw the legal proceedings he had instituted against the defendants , but ultimately obtained a . verdict with " One Farthing " damages . Seeing that this Action has been brought in open defiance of all Masonic principles and law , I earnestly appeal to the Fraternity at large , to assist mc in defraying tlio very heavy costs of my defence , which will amount to J 2150 at tho least , and which I am quite unable to bear without thoir fraternal and liberal help .

In the old feudal times fermes were tho yearly rent of Counties , Towns , Burghs , Guilds , & c ., as concerted between tho Crown nnd tho fermour . Escheats were lands , & c ., which becamo vested in tho Crown , either by devolution , forfeiture , seizure , or some other title . Tallage
was revennepaid to the king , and raised upon his demesnes , escheats , aud wardships , and upon tho Burghs and Towns of tho realm . When it Avas paid for out of lands not held by military tenure it signified Ilidage ; when paid out of Knights' fees , it was Scutuge ; and when paid by Towns and Burghs , it was Tallage .
Tho sheriffs in old times were often called upon to perform special duties , and Madox , in his " History of the Exchequer , " quotes a Eoyal Mandate from a Itoll of tho 26 th year of Henry III . in which tho Sheriff of Gloncester was commanded to canso twenty salmons to bo brought and made into a pasty , against the approaching Christmas .

Anciently the King's revenue , jewels , and other treasure used to bo kept in the treasury of the Exchequer , called the Treasury of Leagues , and since known as the Pyx Chamber , on tho east side of tho cloisters of Westminster Abbey aud at tho rear of tho Chapter House . Tho door of this chamber appears to have been lined inside and out with human skin , and driven full of nails . Mr . Scott , in his " Gleanings
of Westminster Abbey , " mentions that in the course of his researches ho discovered a piece of what seemed to bo white leather remaining on tho door , but on closer examination it proved to bo human skin , and he refers to an old tradition that they were the skins of Danes , tanned and lixed there as a memorial of our delivery from them .
Similar marks have been found on other doors , but it is Mr . Scott s opinion thafc they were not the skins of Danes , but of persons executed for sacrilege , and that tho custom of liuing the doors of sacred treasuries with human skins was intended to terrify other depredators .
In tho statute which defined the king ' s prerogative , and was passed in the seventeenth year of the reign of Edward the Second , it was laid down that where an } ' ship was lost at sea , aud the goods or cargo were thrown upon the land , such goods were adjudged to belong to the King . It was necessary , however , in order to constitute a Avreck that the goods should como to land . If they continued at sea they were
known by the barbarous names of " jetsam , " " flotsam , " and " ligan ;" "jetsam" applying to goods cast into tho sea and then sinking , or remaining under water ; "flotsam " to goods which continued floating on tho surface of the waters ; and " ligan " to goods sunk in the sea , bat tied to a cork or bnoy in order to be found again . If any owner to these appeared he was entitled to recover possession , but if not , they becamo the King ' s property .
" Waifs , " or bona waviata , were goods stolen and waived , or thrown away by tho thief in his flight . The learned Blackstone draws some very fine distinctions in the case of waifs . According to him , they were given to tho King as a punishment to the owner for not pursuing the thief and recovering hia gooda . " So that if the party robbed
