In the chronicle
At the table
To a working it sends four brothers, and it hires men to hold the outer bound, that boundary about the ground which nobody may cross while the work goes on; nine men for three nights at the shaft heads on the scarp, by way of example, came to twenty-six pounds. It gives two figures for injury, one for its work in general and a larger one for work within a bound. It has declined to clear the Chalk Hounds, because there is no edge there that a bound could mark, and twice it has declined the earl. A band that has held its bounds is by that very fact ruled out of work for the Grey Nails.
