Exeter.

Lord Coke (_2nd Institute_, 19.) gives this definition:

"_Redditus assisus_, or _redditus assisæ_: vulgarly, rents of

assise, are the certain rents of the freeholders and ancient

copiholders, because they be assised, and certain, and doth

distinguish the same from _redditus mobiles_, farm rents for life,

years, or at will, which are variable and incertain."

_Ob. q._ means three farthings, "ob." being an abbreviation of _obolus_,

a halfpenny, and "q." of _quadrans_, a farthing.

The _great pipe_ in the document referred to apparently means the pipe

roll of the Bishops of Winchester, of which some account may be seen in

the report of the case of Doe dem. Kinglake _v._ Beviss, in 7 _Common

Bench Reports_, 456.
