At Easter (term 19 August to 22 April) when
the sheriffs and other revenue collectors made their
proffers at the exchequer, they rendered not a full accounting
but only a reckoning. The revenue officials would
bring a roll of Particulars (Particule Compoti) and It was
from this half yearly roll that a proper account would be
drawn up by the officers of the lower receipt. At Michaelmas

paid in and entered on the revenue roll would be submitted
for the quietus est, the final discharge for that year.
