I here give a few quotations from the Glossary of Words used in the
Wapentakes of Manley and Corringham, Lincolnshire, by E. Peacock,
F.S.A.; 2nd ed., E.D.S., 1889. The illustrative sentences are very
characteristic.

scar'd, but it was at noht bud a battle-twig 'at hed crohl{e}d up'n

_Cart, to get into_, to get into a bad temper.--Na, noo, thoo
ne{a}dn't get into th' cart, for I we{a}n't draw thee.
