Jenkin Moore and John Christiane, Deemsters, by the Advice and Councell of xxiiij of the Land, sworne by the said Deemsters the seacond Day of December, Anno Domini, 1419, have given for Law these Points following;

FIRST, that whereas the late Wife of John Moore did perish herself, all such Goods as were belonging to her, is the Lords by his Prerogative, except such Goods as belong to the Coroner, which we say is Corbes, viz. her uttermost Garment, broken haggard, all Beasts under three Years old, her Part of the Houses, these Goods being found free, Itm. the Deemsters to have iiij s. and the Moare iiij s. og els the third Penny. Itm. they say that such Costs as were

made upon her Buriall, to be none of her Part of Goodes, for they were forfeited unto the Lord before.

Alsoe they say that the afforesaid Woman that perished herself can pay noe Debts, because the Child that John Moore had by his Wife can have no Part of her Mothers Goodes, except the which was given her at the Font Stone. Also we say that all the Debts should be paid out of the whole Goods, and after that the Forfeit above said to be my Lords and his Officers to be of the free Goodes.

to

Alsoe we find that the Barrons ought to have noe Title any Person that is borne out of the Countrey, and that cometh into the Land, he ought to be put into the Lord's Farme before any other.
