    tolls were paid in every town.
    Some years ago the tolls were only from three pence to six pence, but they are from six pence to a shilling nowadays.
    When the seller has been paid for the cattle he gives the buyer some money which is called the "luckpenny" which is from a shilling for a small calf to a half-a-crown for a big bullock.
