The history of purlieus is this .
Henry III .,
on taking possession of the throne ,
manifested so great a taste for forests that he enlarged the old ones wherever he could ,
and by this means enclosed many estates ,
which had no outlet to the public roads ,
and things increased in this way until the reign of King John ,
when the public reclamations were so great that much of this land was disforested ;
that is ,
no longer had the privileges of the forests ,
and the land thus separated bore the name of purlieu .
