page 365 note 1 In 1306 Advent began on 27 November. The period from Advent to the octave of Epiphany was traditionally one of those during which the hearing of pleas was prohibited. In 1275 Edward I asked the bishops to relax this rule for petty assizes, but no general concession was forthcoming, although individual bishops sometimes granted temporary dispensations (Handbook of Dates, 66Google Scholar). Clearly in this case the bishop of London had not done so. In 1306 Advent began on 27 November.

page 365 note 2 This bracketed passage is not in the text, but some such addition is required, since the mere octave of 3 Dec. would still be in Advent and therefore impossible for the taking of the assize. Moreover, the octave of St Hilary as a return day includes 21 Jan., the day when the present case resumed.
