A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Wood-Plea Court was a court that met twice a year in Clun Forest, Shropshire. Its purpose was to settle disputes related to wood and agistments.

Example: If a farmer had a cow that wandered into the forest and ate some of the trees, the owner of the trees could take the farmer to Wood-Plea Court to settle the matter.

Explanation: The example illustrates how Wood-Plea Court was used to settle disputes related to wood and agistments. In this case, the dispute was over the damage caused by the farmer's cow to the trees in the forest. The court would hear both sides of the argument and make a decision on how to resolve the issue.
