[22] “Dominus Rex habet mineriam in Balliva de Magnâ Dene. Et capit do quolibet operaris qui poterit lucrari per septimanam tres summas minea 1. denarium per septimanam. Et quando minea primo invenietur Dominus Rex habebit unum hominem operantem cum aliis operantibus in mineria, et conducet illum pro duobus denariis per diem, et habebit partem lucri quantum eveniat uni operaris. Item, Dominus Rex habebit unde per septimanam sex summas mineæ quæ vocantur ‘Lawe ore.’ Et dabit propter hoc operariis VI. denariis per septimanam.”
