horne and lease, III, 360, 113. See Pegge, Archæologia, III, 1, 1775, “Of the horn as a charter or instrument of conveyance.” Professor Gross, of Harvard College, has favored me with the following case: “Pro quo officio [i. e. coroner and escheator of the Honor of Tutbury] nullas evidentias, carta vel alia scripta, proferre possit nisi tantum cornu venatorium.” The possession of this horn still conveys the right to hold the office. Cf. J. C. Cox, Three Centuries of Derbyshire Annals, London, 1890, I, 73-79.
