"Uthræd held Little Crosby and Kirkdale as 1 hide, and it was quit of every custom except these 6: breach of the peace, highway robbery, housebreaking and fighting which continued after the oath was made, and payment of debt to anyone bound by the reeve's judgement, and non-observance of the due date given by the reeve; for these he paid a fine of 40S. But he paid the king's geld like the men of the country."
