Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extracts From the Records of the Burgh of Peebles, 1652-1714: With Appendix, 1367-1655 One of the older burgh laws provided for the payment by the burgesses of fivepence for each rood of land they held of the King. These contributions were called burgh maills, and though in consequence of original holdings being divided or amalgamated, the sums in the burgh maill roll did not retain much trace of uniformity, it is interesting to find in a charter of 1439 (appendix IV., p. 207) that there were then payable to our Lord the King, furth of three tenements, the sum of 5d. Each, and furth of a small tenement, 25d. The small tenement was probably the half of an original rood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
