TITHING

Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1842 · p. 46
A territorial division, of which the origin is pretty generally attributed to Alfred. It was a district supposed to contain ten freeborn men, of whom each was pledge for the others {see Frankpledge). One of these was annually appointed tithingmnn, bors holder, or headborough (from borg, a pledge). Ten tithings constituted (as is supposed) a hundred. [s. 1255]
