This charter, though of infinite importance at the time it was made, contains i it nothing interesting to a modern lawyer, any further than as it gives some specimen of the nature of the institution of Forest Laws, and the burthens thereby brought on the subject. It contains 16 chapters, 1 Reeves, c. v. 254.
