_Briwingable_ (Vol. iv., p. 22.).--I cannot find this word in any

authority to which I have access. I derive it from Sax. {briþan}, to

brew, and {Eafel}, a tax; and think it the same as _tolsester_, a duty

payable to the lord of the manor by ale-brewers, mentioned in Charta 55

Hen. III.: "Tolsester cerevisie, hec est pro quolibet braccino per annum

unam lagenam cerevisie."
