helmi, facta apud Perth, quam Episcopi, Abbates, Comites, Barones,
Thani, & tota communitas regni, tenere firmiter juraverunt ; quod nee
latrones nee interfectores hominum, nee raptores, nee murdratores,
nee alios malefactores, manu-tenebunt nee receptabunt.
2. Quod tam de propriis hominibus, quam de alienis, ubicunque eos
poterunt reperire, pro posse suo, eos ad justitiam adducent ; et pro
posse suo Justiciaries terrae manu-tenebunt.
3. Et quod propter factum judicium aquae, vel ferri, vel duelli, aut
cujuscunque modi judicii nullam sument 'aut capient pecuniam, aut
aliud beneficium, pro quo effectus justitiae maneat imperfectus.
4. Et quod pro posse suo, auxiliantes erunt Domino Regi ; ad inqui-

5. Et cum a Domino Rege requisiti fuerint unusquisque de curia
alterius, secundum quod sciverit, verum testimonium perhibebit.
6. Et Dominus Rex, curias ipsorum in vadio cepit ; Itaque qui
convictus fuerit super hoc, et assisam hanc infregerit, curiam suam
amittet in perpetuum.
" The assize of King William made at Perth, which the Bishops,
Abbots, Earls, Barons, Thanes, and the whole community of the
Kingdom swore firmly to hold and observe : That they shall not re-
ceive nor maintain robbers, manslayers, persons guilty of rapine,
murderers, nor other malefactors."
2. " That whether these be of their own men, or of those of others,
they shall bring them to justice according to their power, wherever
they can find them ; and that, as far as they can, they shall uphold
the justiciaries of the land.
3. " And that for holding the trial by water, by iron, by duel,
or any other mode of justice, they shall receive or take no money
or other gift, where through the effect of justice may remain im-
perfect.
4. "And that according to their power they shall be assisting their
Sovereign Lord the King, in seeking out malefactors for being
punished.
5. "And when required by their Lord the King that each, as far as
he knows, shall give true testimony in regard to the court of the other.
6. "And their Lord the King has taken their courts in pledge;
therefore whosoever shall be convicted on this account, and shall
infringe this assize, shall lose his rights of jurisdiction for ever."
