Well done for tracking down that definition of 'kyrring'! I had no
idea what it might mean in this context. I'll try an catch up with
this when I have time, but for now here's my own rickety attempt at
the end of page 1.

Concerning going into pastures and charges made (on circumstancial
evidence?) http://lexicon.ff.cuni.cz/png/oi_cleasbyvigfusson/b0337.png

If someone goes into someone else's pasture and drives away his sheep
thereby causing him (financial) harm to the value of half a mark, let
him pay the maximum fine to the owner of that sheep, according to his
ability to pay (?), and ?? mark(s) of silver to the king, just as good
as it was before (i.e. compensate him fully for his loss?). But if
someone is accused of having been in someone else's pastures with dogs
and done him (financial) injury, let him compensate...
