I hadn't realised it was on-line now.  That's very helpful, 
though its format will take a bit of getting used to.

The paper edition says that the part that was in the 
Amesbury hundred of Wilts was trasferred to Berks for 
parliamentry purposes by the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 
1832 (2&3 Wm IV c64), and for civil purposes by the Counties 
(Detached Parts) Act 1844 (7&8 Vict c61).
