* Mr. Wright translates this passage thus :— “People of good will have made answer to the King,—how a great grievance is made in the land—by common squabblers, who are by oath—obliged together to a purveyance;—this company are called Trailebastons,—they offer to make conventions at fairs and markets,—for three or four shillings, or merely to shew their courage,—to beat a good man, who never did hurt—to any Christian body, by the testimony of no one.”
