For Enhanced members
Road Families, Drovers, and the People Who Are Only Ever Passing
A substantial part of the march is not settled in it and this is not remarked on anywhere because nobody counts. The rolls count households and hearths. They do not count the drove, the carriers, the seasonal gangs, the bounty men, or the people who are simply on the road, and the Under-Sheriff’s own estimate is that a third of the persons in the district on any given day are not of it.
The rest of this chapter is kept for Enhanced members of the Hall, who may read every chapter of the seven volumes.
