Cot Garre, a kind of refuse wool, so clung or clotted together that it cannot be pulled asunder. By 13 Rich. II. stat. 1. c. 9. it is provided, that neither denizen or foreigner make any other refuse of wool, but cot-gare and villein. So the printed statute has it; but in the parliament roll of that year it is cod-lend, and villein. Cot, or cote, signifies as much as cottage in many places, and was so used by the Saxons according to Verstegan.
