 At Reveden—

 The monks have 8 'husbands'-lands and 1 bovate, each of which performed certain services at one time, viz.:Each week in summer the carriage with 1 horse to Berwick.The horse to carry 3 'bollæ' of corn, or 2 'bollæ' of salt, or 112 'bollæ' of coals.In winter the same carriage, but the horse only carried 2 'bollæ' of corn, or 112 'bollæ' of salt, or 1 'bolla' and 'ferloth' of coal.Each week, when they came from Berwick, each land did one day's work according to order.When they did not go to Berwick, they tilled 2 days a week.In autumn, when they did not go to Berwick they did 3 days' work.At that time each 'husband' took with his land 'stuht,' viz.:2 oxen, 1 horse,3 'celdræ' of oats,6 'bollæ' of barley,3 'bollæ' of corn.And afterwards, when Abbot Richard commuted that service into money, they returned their 'stuht,' and each one gave for his land 18s. a year.
