On looking through the town accounts of Shipdham, I find entries of--

Payd to the half mark to Saham j^d

Ij bushells oates, and in lieu of a hen ij^d

The only entry in which I find anything at all apparently relative to the

common is that under 1527. Whether the court books of Saham would throw any

light on the subject, I know not. Should an opportunity offer for my

searching them, I will do so.
