Corre-Gare, a kind of refuse wool, so clung or clotted together that it cannot be pulled asunder. By 13 Rich. II. stat. i. c. 9. it is provided, that neither denizen nor 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-lamb, and villein.
