_Frebord_ (Vol. v., p. 440.).--Your correspondent P. M. M. desires

information on this matter. He may be glad to know that, in the adjoining

manor from whence I write, the claim is sixteen feet and a half from the

set of the hedge; and this claim has been ever allowed, and is still

enforced. It is supposed to depend on a right of free-warren which the

manor in question possesses under a grant of Henry III. Is there any reason

to believe that there is any connexion between _frebord_ and free-warren? I

have heard it explained as reserved for the use of the lord for the purpose

of preserving the game.
