of King James." The full text of the Perambulation is given in the Essex Naturalist
(vol. vi., pp. 12-16). The boundaries thus ascertained are shown in the map reproduced
in the programme of the present meeting, and they agree almost exactly with those laid
down in the Perambulation made in the 28th year of Edward I. (1301) except the
omission of the Liberty
of Havering, and the
desmesnes of King's
Wood, Writtle and Hat-
field, which had become
only Royal Chases and
Warrens, and were,
therefore, "out of the
Forest." And thus, as
Mr. Fisher remarked,
ended a controversy
about the extent of the
Forest which had been
a constant source of
quarrel between the
Crown and people, and
which had lasted from
the time of King John.
