13) No stranger may remain in the town with his goods for the purpose of selling his goods, but for forty days.
14) No burgess may be confined or distrained any where else within
my land or power for any debt, unless he is a debtor or surety (to
avoid a person owed a debt from distraining another person of the
town of the debtor).
15) They shall be able to marry themselves, their sons, their
daughters and their widows, without the license of their lords. (A
lord had the right of preventing his tenants and their families
from marrying without his consent.)

of their sons or daughters on account of their lands out of the

18) No one shall take tyne [wooden barrel with a certain quantity of ale, payable by the townsmen to the constable for the use of the castle] unless for the use of the lord Earl, and that according to the custom of the town.
19) They may grind their grain wherever they may choose.
20) They may have their reasonable guilds, as well or better than they had them in the time of Robert and his son William [John's wife's grandfather and father, who were earls of Gloucester when the town and castle of Bristol were part of the honor of Gloucester].
