1. THE MARSH Because lands in the Marsh are endangered through lack of repair of banks and sewers there, and especially through the obstruction of a sewer called le Flete, Thomas Burnham and Ralph Friskney are appointed to view them and determine who is responsible for repair, and to distrain in proportion to the amount of land held. The sheriff is to summon jurors for an enquiry. (Etcetera in this enrolment represents the standard formulae for setting such an enquiry in motion.) Burnham and Friskney each appear on several other occasions in the next few years as commissioners of sewers for various parts of the Marsh- cf. Imbanking, 155. It has not been possible to discover which of the many 'fleets' in the Marsh is here referred to.
