INTRODUCTORY NOTICE.
In the present Volume the MINUTES and ORDERS of the last quarter
of the year 1612, and of the eight years 1613 to 1620, have been dealt
with. Besides this, the Register of Presentments of Recusants for the
years 1614, and 1616 to 1620,* have been gone through, as also the
Lame Soldiers' Book, and some few folios of the first of the two Bridge
Books. The earliest entry in these books (with a reference in it to a
Quarter Sessions assessment made four years earlier still) is dated 12
January, 1569, but it is not until some few years later that any regular
or systematized series of Minutes is met with. Still the entries we find
are pregnant with facts, statistics, and suggestions that are valuable as
helping to furnish forth materials for compiling a lively notice of the
local and public history of the times, the condition of this northern.
country and its belongings, and the general business and other
organization of the District.
Some few remarks on some of the topics thus suggested seem,
perhaps, to be called for in way of introduction.
I. RECUSANCY.-Reference was made, in the Introductory Notice
prefixed to Vol. I., to the suspiciously insufficient nature of the returns
afforded by the Presentments of Recusants recorded in the MInutes
and ORDERS of the years 1605 to 1612, and to the indications, which
presented themselves in divers places in the course of the said Minutes.
and Orders, of a prevalent remissness on the part of those officials
whose business it was to make such presentments, or to see that they
were sufficiently made. At page 27 of the present volume a notably
stringent Order will be noticed, intended to put an end to all such
official remissness. The date of this Order is July 13, 1613; while
two years later-viz., July 4, 1615-a series of, for the times, heavy
fines was inflicted on Constables and Ministers of divers parishes for
* Register A. of Recusants, dealing with the Presentments for the year 1614, is
the only notice we have of such presentments. Of the presentments for the later
years specified, copy is found in the "Minutes and Orders" also, though in many
instances defective or worse, as noted at the various places of their occurrence.
vi
INTRODUCTORY NOTICE.
their participation in cases of precisely the like remissness. The result
was that, in the first case cited, no less than 970 presentments of
Recusants were made in July, 1614-viz., 657 at Helmesley and the
remainder at Richmond; and in the second, that in July, 1616, 529
more were presented at Helmesley, and 490 at Richmond. The total
number of presentments recorded in the present volume is so nearly
2,400 that that round number may be fairly alleged. Of these, it may
be stated, many were presented twice, and a few three times ;* but the
major part seem to have been presented but once, and but once only.
At the place in the Introductory Notice to Vol. I. already referred
to, it was observed that Egton and Ugthorpe did not figure largely
in the number of dwellers therein actually presented. In the present
volume this is altered; for at the Helmesley Sessions in July, 1614, no
less than 135 Egton Recusants are presented, and 35 besides from
Ugthorpe, while Whitby Strand supplies a contingent of upwards of
80 more.
Again, in July 1616, 81 persons from Egton were presented for
Recusancy, but none from Ugthorpe, 80 (within one or two) being
added from Whitby Strand.
Yet further:-in 1617 the presentments from Egton numbered no
more than seven, and those from Whitby Strand amounted to six in all.
There is, however, some difficulty in attempting to generalize from
these facts and figures. At first sight, it would appear that the very
stringent measures taken against Recusancy, over and above the mere fact
of presentment, and more than dimly intimated in divers entries on the
following pages, were attended with the result they were intended to bring
about, and that a result eminently successful. But in the face of the fact
stated in the last note, viz., that out of the total number of Recusants
presented in the years 1614, and 1616 to 1629 (numbering 2,400 in
the first six years only of that period), only 90 are recorded as having
publicly conformed-it is simply impossible to come to any such con-
clusion. In the sequel-perhaps the long and lingering sequel-no
doubt conformity, more or less real as well as apparent, became the
rule. But at first, so far as our statistics may seem worthy to be
depended upon, a sullen, rather than a patient, submission to the
coercion imposed is all that can be inferred. The Recusant was a
Recusant at heart still, although he may have been constrained not in
any way to obtrude his Recusancy upon the powers that were.
II. HIGHWAYS, BRIDGES, and other like means of locomotion.—It is
* It may be added here that at the end of Register B., on a loose sheet, is an
alphabetical index of those who conformed out of all presented during the years 1616
to 1629, both inclusive. The total number is precisely 90. The present volume com-
prises five out of the entire number of years specified.

almost impossible to enter upon this matter, however briefly and
inadequately, without some coincident notice of a matter that might
seem to be altogether unallied; I mean the ancient Common or Open-
field system of husbandry; which, at the date of these volumes (as
incidentally noted in several places), was subjected to the material altera-
tions involved by the process of enclosure, on whatever principles such
enclosure may have been conducted or accomplished. That these two
matters are not in reality unconnected, but, in fact, very much the
contrary, as also that in some cases at least, perhaps in many or the most,
the enclosure was made in accordance with formal or authorized allot-
ment, and subject to certain conditions-as to the highways, among
other things-is amply apparent from (to mention no other instance
out of the several which present themselves) the entry noted at the
foot of p. 49 and overleaf.
That the Open or Common-field system prevailed, or had prevailed,
almost up to the date when these Records of ours begin, and over the
great bulk of the entire N. R., there can scarcely be any question :
certainly none as regards the purely rural part of it.* And, of course,
* As the Open-field system is one to which attention has been distinctly called only
in recent days, the following extract from Mr. Seebohm's excellent book on the
subject will, the Editor hopes, be pardoned by the reader. After drawing attention
to a reduced tracing of a map of the township of Hitchin, made about the year 1816,
the author writes: "It will be seen at once that it presents almost the features of a
spider's web. A great part of the township at that date, probably nearly the whole
of it in earlier times, was divided up into little narrow strips. These strips, common
to open-fields all over England, were separated from each other by green balks of
unploughed turf, and are of great historical interest. They vary more or less in size,
even in the same fields. There are 'long' strips and 'short' strips. But, taking
them generally ... the normal strip is seen, from a reference to the scale, to be
roughly identical with the statute acre. The length of the statute acre is a furlong of
40 rods or poles. It is 4 rods in width. Now 40 rods by I rod make 40 square
rods, or a rood; and thus, as these are 4 rods in breadth, the acre of the scale with
which the normal strips coincide is an acre made up of 4 roods lying side by side.
Thus the strips are in fact roughly cut 'acres,' of the proper shape for ploughing.
For the furlong is the 'furrow-long,' i.e., the length of the drive of the plough before
it is turned; and that this by long custom was fixed at 40 rods, is shown by the use
of the Latin word 'quarentena' for furlong. The word 'rood' naturally corresponds
with as many furrows in the ploughing as are contained in the breadth of one rod.
And four of these roods lying side by side made the acre strip in the open-fields, and
still make up the statute acre. This form of the acre is very ancient. Six hundred
years ago, in the earliest English law fixing the size of the statute acre (33 Ed. I.),
it is declared that '40 perches in length and 4 in breadth make an acre.
The whole arable area of an unenclosed township was usually divided up by turf
balks into as many thousands of these strips as its limits would contain, and the
tithing maps of many parishes besides Hitchin, dating sixty or eighty years ago, show
remains of them still existing, although the process of ploughing up the balks and
throwing many strips together had gradually been going on for centuries... The strips

where the Open-field system prevailed, an almost infinite number of
what at the present day would be called 'accommodation-roads' must
have existed too, over and above the necessarily numerous lines of
road, high-street, or King's highway, horse-tracks, pathways, &c.,
on the map lie side by side in groups, forming larger divisions of the field. These
larger divisions are called 'shots,' or 'furlongs,' and in Latin documents ‘quarentenæ›
being always a furrow-long in width. Throughout the whole length the furrows in the
ploughing run parallel from end to end. . . . The shots or furlongs are divided from
each other by broader balks, usually overgrown with bushes. This grouping of the
strips in furlongs and shots. . involves another little feature which is also uni-
versally met with, viz., the headland. It will be seen on the map that mostly a
common field-way gives access to the strips; ie., it runs along the side of the
furlong and the ends of the strips. But this is not always the case; and when it is
not, then there is a strip running along the length of the furlong inside its boundaries
and across the ends of the strips composing it. This is the headland. Sometimes,
when the strips of the one furlong run at right angles to the strips of its neigh-
bour, the first strip in the one furlong does duty as the headland, giving access to
the strips in the other. In either case all the owners of the strips in a furlong have
the right to turn their plough upon the headland, and thus, the owner of the headland
must wait until all the other strips are ploughed before he can plough his own.
The
Latin term for the headland is 'forera.'. . . Where the strips abruptly meet others,
or abut upon a boundary at right angles, they are sometimes called butts. Two other
details marking the open-field system require only to be simply mentioned. Corners
of the fields, which, from their shape, could not be cut up into the usual acre or half-
acre strips, were sometimes divided into tapering strips pointed at one end, and
called 'gores' or 'gored' acres. In other cases little odds and ends of unused land
remained, which from time immemorial were called 'no man's land,' or 'any one's
land,' or 'Jack's land,' as the case might be." But further than this, "neither the
strips nor the furlongs represented a complete holding or property, but the several
holdings were made up of a multitude of strips scattered about on all sides of the
township, one on this furlong and another on that, intermixed, and it might almost be
said entangled together, as though some one blindfold had thrown them about on all
sides of him.
""
A little further on the author continues-"It is stated that every occupier of un-
enclosed land in any of the common fields of the township may pasture his sheep
over the rest of the field after the corn is cut and carried, and when it is fallow. If
he choose to enclose his own portion of the common field he may do so, but he then
gives up for ever his right of pasture over the rest. It is under this custom that the
strips and balks are gradually disappearing. And the general conclusion, assuming
that the Hitchin example may be taken as a typical one of the English Open-field
system, is that it may be regarded generally as having belonged to a village or town-
ship under a manor. We may assume that the holdings were composed of numbers
of strips scattered over the three open fields; and that the husbandry was controlled
by those rules as to rotation of crops and fallow in three seasons which marked the
three-field system, and secured uniformity of tillage throughout each field. Lastly,
whilst fallow, after the crop was gathered, the open fields were probably everywhere
subject to the common rights of pasture. The sheep of the whole township
wandered and pastured all over the strips and balks of its fields, while the cows of
the township were daily driven by a common herdsman to the green commons, or,
after the hay crop of the owners was secured, to the common meadows.

rendered necessary alike by local convenience and the purposes of
public or general inter-communication. But it is at least equally
obvious that, wherever and whenever an enclosure took place, there
would be a certainty rather than only an imminent danger of interfer-
ence with some or other of the rights of way inferred in either of the
means of passage to and fro implied by each of the terms employed
above. A man's private interest might lead him on to undertake the
trouble and toil and expense of enclosure, but it would be less likely
to induce him to take much trouble or incur much cost in maintaining
roads and paths for the benefit of others rather than of himself, or not,
in some cases, to grudge the very space itself that was taken out of his
allotment or property by the mere existence of such ways and rights of
way. And hence would arise a frequent crop of encroachments and
interferences or stoppages, to say nothing of more gradual but not less.
certain results of simple neglect. What livelier picture, however, could
we have than that which is afforded by the following passage from a
writer of Elizabeth's time (1577-1588) of the actual state of the case
as then extant? "Now to speak of our common high waies through
the English part of the Ile, you shall understand that in the claie or
cledgie soile they are often verie deepe and troublesome in the winter
halfe. Wherefore by authoritie of parliament . . . . all sorts of the
common people doo imploie their travell for six daies in summer upon
the same.
And albeit that the intent of the statute is verie profitable
for the reparations of the decaied places, yet the rich do so cancell
their portions, and the poore so loiter in their labours,* that of all the
six, scarcelie two good daies works are well performed. Besides this,
such as have land lieng upon the sides of the waies, doo utterlie
examination into the details of an Enclosure Act will make clear the point that the
system as above described is the system which it was the object of the Enclosure
Acts to remove. They were generally drawn in the same form, commencing with the
recital that the open and common fields lie dispersed in small pieces intermixed with
each other and inconveniently situated, that divers persons own parts of them, and
are entitled to rights of common on them, so that in their present state they are
incapable of improvement, and that it is desired that they may be divided and
enclosed, a specific share being set out and allowed to each owner.
For this purpose
Enclosure Commissioners are appointed, and under their award the balks are
ploughed up, the fields divided into blocks for the several owners, hedges planted,
and the whole face of the country changed. The English Village Community

neglect to dich and scowre* their draines and watercourses, for better
avoidance of the winter waters . . . . whereby the streets doo grow to
be much more gulled than before, and thereby verie noisome to such
as travell by the same. Sometimes also these daies works are not
imploied upon those waies that lead from market to market, but each
surveior amendeth such by-plots and lanes as seem best for his
owne commoditie, and more easie passage unto his fields and pastures.
There is another thing likewise to be considered of, that the
trees and bushes growing by the streets sides doo not a little keep off
the force of the sunne in summer for drieng up of the lanes. Where-
fore if order were taken that their boughs should continuallie be kept
short, and the bushes not suffered to spread so far into the narrow
paths, that inconvenience would also be remedied, and manie a slough
prove hard ground that yet is deepe and hollow. Of the dailie in-
croching of the covetous upon the hie waies I speake not. But this
I know by experience, that wheras some streets within these five and
twentie yeares have been in most places fiftie foot broad according to
the law, whereby the traveller might either escape the theefe, or shifte
the mier, or pass by the loaden cart† without danger of himself and his
horsse; now they are brought unto twelve, or twentie, or six and
twentie at the most, which is another cause also whereby the waies be
the worse, and many an honest man encumbred in his journeie.

Harrison's Description of England (New Shakspere Society's Series, Part iii.
pp. 148–151). A series of strange statements touching the badness of the high-roads,
and even between important places, a century later still, will be found in Macaulay's
History of England, i. pp. 373 et seq.:-" On the best lines of communication the
ruts were deep, the descents precipitous, and the way often such as it was hardly
possible to distinguish, in the dusk, from the uninclosed heath and fen" (and he
might have added, had he been fully aware of all the facts, cultivated land which lay
on both sides). "Ralph Thoresby, the antiquary, was in danger of losing his way on
the great North road, between Barnby Moor and Tuxford, and actually lost it
between Doncaster and York. . . . . It was only in fine weather that the whole
breadth of the road was available for wheeled vehicles. Often the mud lay deep on
the right and the left; and only a narrow track of firm ground rose above the quagmire.
It happened, almost every day, that coaches stuck fast, until a team of cattle
could be procured from some neighbouring farm, to tug them out of the slough."
Facts that are mentioned in continuation are such as these :—that a viceroy, going to
Ireland, was five hours in travelling fourteen miles, from St. Asaph to Conway";
that he was "forced to walk great part of the way between Conway and Beaumaris";
that in some parts of Kent and Sussex "none but the strongest horses could get

Passing these various statements and considerations under review,
we find a full explanation of the great multiplicity of presentments, and
of sundry different kinds, recorded in the following pages, all bearing
upon the bad condition of the highways, and the various acts of simple
negligence or overt mischief and damage tending to bring about or
perpetuate such a position of circumstances, as connected with this
means of intercommunication between place and place.
And it is hardly to be expected that, the state of matters being such
as regards the highways, the condition of the bridges would be mate-
rially better. In fact, there are between one hundred and thirty and
one hundred and forty presentments touching the bad state of repair
of the bridges in the N. R. in the few years embraced by the entries in
the present volume, and while many of them testify most explicitly as
to the ruinous condition of the bridges specified, not a few besides
throw a light upon the nature of the structures themselves. Many of
them, perhaps most, with the sole exception of those over the great
rivers, or wider streams, of the district, were of wood, and many of
these were calculated only for the passage of horse and man, and by no
means of any kind of carriage. In this connection, to give but one
instance, the two entries touching Egton bridge, the one on p. 174 and
the second on p. 221, are very instructive. In July, 1618, £50 is
ordered to be levied for the repair of this bridge, and, a year and
a quarter afterwards, £10 more, but it is to be used as "a foote and
horse bridge" only, and "anie one offering to drive anie cartes or
waines over" it shall be dealt with summarily-" made to answere
their contempte." Nay, Whitby bridge itself, from the evidence of a
singularly interesting entry (pp. 319, 320) touching it, would appear to
have been constructed only of timber about the year 1575,* and to
through the bog, in which, at every step, they sank deep"; that Prince George of
Denmark, on his road to Petworth, "was six hours in going nine miles; and it was
necessary that a body of sturdy hinds should be on each side of his coach, to prop it."
The historian, writing with only a partial and imperfect knowledge of all the cir
cumstances, adds: "One chief cause of the badness of the roads seems to have been
the defective state of the law. Every parish was bound to repair the highways
which passed through it; the peasantry were forced to give their gratuitous labour
six days in the year," to supplement which, a parochial rate might be laid "to supple-
ment the expense. "That a route connecting two great towns, which have a large
and thriving trade with each other, should be maintained at the cost of the rural
population scattered between them is obviously unjust; and this injustice was
peculiarly glaring in the case of the great North road, which traversed very poor and
thinly inhabited districts, and joined very rich and populous districts." Beyond
question, the principle which underlies this remark, more than hinted at in the text,
would be fully operative in the case of the many persons concerned in the many
presentments touching disrepair of highways contained in the following pages.

III. TIMES' PRICES.-We have in all more than one hundred and
sixty of these, and still the same remark must be made which was
made on p. v. of the Introductory Notice to Vol. I. We have, for
instance, the price of a wether varying from 4s. to 9s. ; that of an ewe
from 21d., 4d., or 8d., to 6s., 75., or 12s.; that of a lamb from 4d. or 6d.
to 2s., 35., or 4s. ; but there is no explanation of these widely divergent
values. Certainly, from the testimony of a German, who visited
England in 1592,* we find it stated that one of the best wethers sells
for about 20s., the inferior sort about 10s., and the worst about 6s. or
8s.; a sheepskin of good quality about Is., and an inferior one 8d.,
and a pound of wool about twelvepence. One other such comparison
is also possible, derived from Harrison himself:-"In my time," he
says, a cow hath risen from foure nobles (£1. 6. 8) to foure marks
(£2. 13. 4)," or just double. It is somewhat remarkable that the three
prices of cows given in the present volume are £1. 6. 8, £2. 13. 4,
and £3. 10. Possibly the reason alleged for the increase in price of
the animal named-viz. that "the greatest occupiers weane least
store, bicause they can buie them (as they saie) far better cheape than
"It is a current opinion that there was no bridge over the Esk, in the centre of our
town, till about the year 1630, when the wooden bridge which had previously stood
at Stone-quay or Boghall, was removed, through the influence of Sir Hugh
Cholmley, to where the present bridge stands, and assumed the form of a draw-
bridge." Admitting the existence of a wooden bridge for foot-passengers from the
end of Waterstead-lane at Boghall to the opposite bank, the author cited proceeds to
show that the opinion he quotes was utterly untenable, and that in fact there was
written evidence to prove the existence of the Whitby bridge prior to the year 1595.
Our entry shows that it had fallen into decay before 1575, which of course pre-
supposes a very much earlier date than "prior to 1595" for its erection. But the
entries of charges for Whitby bridge at pp. 298, 304 of the present volume, carry us
back to 1564, and show the bridge in decay even at that period. But, to revert to
the character of the bridge—we find Dr. Young continuing as follows :—
"At first,
no doubt, this bridge, like others then in the country, would be rudely constructed,
and too narrow to admit carriages: yet probably it was a kind of drawbridge, some
part of it being so framed as to be occasionally lifted up or removed. . . . . At any
rate, our bridge was a draw-bridge previous to the year 1637. . After passing
through various successive improvements, Whitby bridge was completely rebuilt on
stone pillars in 1766, when it cost the county about £3,000." The Editor would only
add that Young's principal reason for assuming the probability of the bridge being a
drawbridge from its first erection-viz. "the making up of the Horngarth so much
higher up the river," which he takes to be a proof that large vessels must have had
access to that part of the harbour, is based upon an entire misconception as to, not
to say ignorance of, the nature of the Horngarth itself, which was simply agricultural
in its purpose, and could have no possible connection with shipping in any form.

to raise and bring them up"-may partly suggest some sort of explana-
tion why the sheep should have been of so much less value in these
northern parts than in those where Rathgeb's knowledge was obtained.
There is no question that the drover was a person largely employed at
the time of our Records, and that vast numbers of oxen-or rather of
the species at large-were perpetually on the road towards centres of
sale, many of them very distant. The stirk, stot, cow, heifer, &c.,
would thus have an advantage, as to possible or actual value, over the
slower and less able traveller, the sheep. Besides which, the most
cursory inspection of the various flocks of moor or mountain sheep
which pasture in thousands over the wide moorlands of the district in
which this is written, would suggest the idea, even to one not qualified
to be a "judge of sheep" at an Agricultural Show, that if some of them
were worth (let us say) 20s. or 25s., others of them, and not a few,
could hardly be expected to fetch more than a third, or at most the
half of that sum. And in those olden days the sheep in the N. R.
must have had a hard experience in winter time. The prices of horses
named are from 30s. or £2 up to £5 for a mare, £4 for a horse,
£1. 10 to £3 for a colt. Rathgeb states that horses are abundant,
and although low and small, yet very fleet: Harrison adds that they are
easy-paced. Further, he goes on to state that the cart-horses are very
strong, for that "five or six of them will draw three thousand weight*
of the greatest tale with ease for a long journeie [although it be not a
load of common usage, which consisteth onelie of two thousand, or
fiftie foot of timber, fortie bushels of white salt, or six and thirtie of
baie, or five quarters of wheat "]. But inasmuch as on a good road, not
very hilly, a single cart-horse now will draw 15 cwt. to one ton without
difficulty, and the lighter weight for a journey, we have to allow for
something besides the inferior roads in 1592, when it took five or six to
trail a ton or a little more. Perhaps this may help us to understand
that £5 may have been a good price for an English horse for ordinary
purposes, and that the lower charges quoted were really according to
the value of the animals specified.t
* This probably means 3,000 lbs. weight, especially as some of the weights named
just below are fairly coincident with such an assumption. In the days when wheat
was sold by stricken measure, it seldom averaged 60 lbs. to the bushel; and there is
little doubt that in James's time, taking all considerations into account, it barely
averaged 56 lbs. But, assuming the 5 quarters to have weighed 60 lbs. each bushel,
we have but 2,400 pounds in all, while at 56 lbs. the total weight would be
2,240 pounds.
† For the sake of comparison as to the, by Harrison, implied higher prices of
foreign horses as compared with English (Part II. pp. 3, 5), and horses for riding or the
coach, as contrasted with horses for the cart or plough an entry in the Roll of
Whitby Abbey Expenses for the year 139 will not be without interest. It is this—

INTRODUCTORY NOTICE.
Space forbids me to deal with other topics under this head.
IV. In the Introductory Notice to Vol. I., at p. viii., it was said,
referring always to the material for inference furnished by the contents.
of the said volume, that "we were by no means yet in a position to
draw precise inferences, or, much more, make authoritative statements
bearing on the general circumstances of the district, agricultural, com-
mercial, political, or as
as to the condition and character of the
inhabitants, socially, morally, or physically"; and it is only in some
degree, and in one or two directions merely, that the case is altered
now. I pass by for the present the clearly-marked distinctions,
apparent throughout these Volumes of Records, drawn between the
different classes of society-my Lord always at the head, and next to
him, my Lord's brother or son; then the Knight Baronet, following
whom comes the Knight; after him the Esquire (armiger), then the
Gentleman (generosus), and next the Yeoman. To the Yeoman succeeds
the husbandman, after him the grasseman, and finally the labourer.
There seems to be no exception to the rule which prescribes the
observance of these grades; and it is also to be observed that while the
Jury in every case is mainly composed of men described as Yeomen,
in almost every case without exception one Gentleman, or more, heads
the Pannell.
But the most striking matter under the present head is forcibly
brought to our notice by four different presentments noted in the
following pages. At page 16, Rob. Tose, Curate of Skelton, is presented
for keeping an unlicensed alehouse there; at p. 206, Rowland Sewell,
Clerk, Vicar of Brompton, for brewing and selling ale, being unlicensed;
at p. 105, a gentleman (generosus) is named as having been disallowed.
to brew and keep an alehouse on two grounds :-i. his wife's recusancy ;
ii. his own disorderly carriage and behaviour; a stringent Order against.
him, and his surreptitious departure from the Court and consequent
committal to the custody of the Sheriff, being mentioned at p. 109.
The fourth case is (p. 93) that of a girl being formally apprenticed by the
Overseers and Churchwardens of Kirkby Moorside to Tho. Denton,
Parson there.
It is idle to speculate, when these two Clergymen were presented for
brewing and keeping alehouses without license, how many of their
clerical brethren escaped a like publicity by keeping within the letter of
the law, and duly taking out licenses to keep their several "tipling-
houses." That these two men were alone in the practice, it is almost
impossible to believe, as also that Mr. James Cleasbie, of Cleasbie
(whose brother Leonard, by the way, is seen once and again in the
position of the gentleman at the head of the Jury), was the only
gentleman engaged in selling ale and beer with, or without, license. No

doubt many readers of these lines will remember Macaulay's sketches
of the country-gentleman and country-parson (i. pp. 319, 330), and
possibly have been half inclined to surmise that that brilliant writer's
love of striking description and telling antithesis-to say nothing of
party or personal bias-had led him to something very like over-
colouring his picture. In reality, however, it would seem not to have
been so.
In a note to p. 26 of Harrison's England, the Editor (Mr.
F. J. Furnivall) writes-"On the general character of the ministers of
England, see the Parker Society's Zurich Letters, ii. 63. Harding calls
them tinkers, tapsters, fiddlers and pipers; Jewel admits their want of
learning; many of them were made of 'the basest sort of the people';
artificers and unlearned men were admitted to the ministry; many had
come out of the shop into the clergy; an order was given to ordain no
more artificers; some beneficed ministers were neither priests nor
deacons ; laymen were presented to benefices, and made prebendaries;
and an Archdeacon was not even in Orders." This note, fortified with
authorities for each several statement, is appended to a passage in the
above-named book, wherein mention is made of "the covetousnesse of
the patrones, of whome some doo bestow advousons of benefices upon
their bakers, butlers, cookes, good archers, falconers, and horssekeepers
insted of other recompense for their long service."
Nor is this quite all. The livings were wretchedly poor and the
parsons were most heavily taxed, "so that of a benefice of twentie
pounds by the yeare, the incumbent thinketh himself well acquited, if,
all ordinarie paiments being discharged, he may reserve thirteene
pounds, six shillings, eightpence, towards his owne sustentation, and
maintenance of his familie" (Ib. p. 24).
There is little wonder then, that, with such characteristics and such
incomes, the state of things more than hinted at in the entries under
notice should have prevailed, or that some of the clergy should have
resorted to the exercise of some trade to aid their wretched livings-
for that seems to be the explanation which most commends itself of
the apprenticeship of a poor girl to a parson. Thus, too, the two cases
of extortion by clerical persons, one the Clerk of Alne, the other
Archdeacon of Cleveland,* met with in consecutive pages (171, 172),
seem to admit of an easier elucidation.
* The name here is Will. Denton, and the date is 1618, and he as well as the
apprentice-receiving parson, whose name is Thomas Denton (date 1615), are both
described as of Kirkby Moorside-a circumstance which seems to suggest a possible
clerical error. It should be added that there is some obscurity, not very easily pene-
trated, touching the name Denton in connection with the Archdeaconry named.
According to Le Neve, John Philips became Archdeacon in 1601. About 1604 he
was made Bishop of Man, but held the Archdeaconry in commendam with the

INTRODUCTORY NOTICE.
It is somewhat remarkable that no case at all of Witchcraft is met
with through the entire space of time covered by the Minutes and Orders
of the present Volume. The Editor was able, less than twenty-five years
since, to make a very large collection of local witch stories, and it was
impossible for the collector to shut his eyes to the fact that, even yet,
the witch was held by more than one of his informants to be one of
"the powers that be." Rathgeb notes that "many witches are found
who frequently do much mischief by means of hail and tempests,” and
the Depositions from York Castle (Surtees Society Series) amply testify
to the nature and amount of the belief in witches at a time not so very
remote from that we are occupied with. It is, however, probable that
entries of the kind will be found a little later on in the series.
The name
Finally, a few words as to the Index, for space entirely forbids refer-
ence to any other of the several topics noted for remark.
of every Recusant presented, or convicted, or conforming, has been
scrupulously entered, and, as far as possible, confusion of one with
another has been avoided, difficult of attainment as that aim must
necessarily be when so many occurrences of the same surname (some-
times differently spelt, moreover), and (often) Christian name, are met
with. But the difficulty is enhanced in the present case by the
apparent carelessness of the compilers or copyists of the original lists.
Many instances will be noted in which two different Christian names
are appended to the same surname.* But wherever it is so, there is no
reasonable doubt that it is the same person who is designated by the
varying names. And this fact alone is at once seen to be one sugges-
tive of other and undetected cases of mistake. But it is hoped that
the Index is mainly correct.
In other particulars the principles on which the Index has been
compiled are the same as those specified at the close of the Introduc-
tory Notice to Volume I.
The question
Bishopric until 1619, when he was succeeded by Henry Thurscross.
seems to arise, is the entry in the Minutes and Orders thoroughly erroneous, or, what
is more likely, was Denton in some way or other Philips' locum tenens?
* Sometimes even the very surname itself is so altered as to make recognition
even, and much more identification, a matter almost of accident rather than of
difficulty merely.
[Since the above has been in print the Editor has learnt that another
Register of Recusants presented has been discovered at Northallerton.
It comprises the presentments made in the three years 1611-1613, and
extends over no less than eighty-six leaves. It must, of course, affect
some of the deductions made above.] .

* We have here a feature of the country-side in Cleveland which has now, even in
the Dales parishes, become somewhat evanescent and is on the point of fading away
for good. Thirty years ago, the writer, if he had to ride from Danby to Lealholm,
had twenty-two gates to open by one line of road, and twenty-three by the other.
This was along the "street," "high-street," "highway," or "turnpike ” (the usual
country word), in either case. There were no hedges or walls on either side of the
road or street."
Where one farmer's (or yeoman's) "liberty" ended and another's
began, there was a gate, or "yatt" (as sounded in this district), and as all the farms
in the district are small (scarcely, with one exception, averaging 100 acres) the gates
were inordinately multiplied. The roads about Faceby and Yarm have all long
run between hedges now; but this Minute shows what the nature of the roads or
highways in old times really was.

* The fact that is involved here—namely, that the King himself had alum-works at
Mulgrave in the year 1612-is one of some interest in the history of the alum-trade.
Young, the Whitby Historian, states that in the early period of the alum-trade
"the English manufacturers could not even secure the home trade without obtaining
from King James an order prohibiting the importation of alum. About that time,
the alum business was engrossed by the King, as a royal prerogative; and the alum
works were let on lease from the crown, a compensation being paid to the proprie-
tors. Young supposes the art of alum-making may have been introduced by Sir
Thomas Chaloner, at the earliest, about 1595, and in the list he gives of Alum-works
established in Cleveland (vol. ii. pp. 810, 811), he makes "the work at Sandsend
Ness commence about the year 1615," while the works at "Holmes, near the present
Mulgrave Castle, commenced about 1680, or a few years earlier," at Ash Holme,
near old Mulgrave Castle, about the same time," and at "Rock Hole, between
East Row and Rock Head," next in succession-and he supposes all the manu-
facture to have been in the hands of lessees. But it is apparent from the entry under
notice that the Mulgrave works were in operation more than half a century before
the time he gives for their commenced existence, and that the King himself was the
proprietor of the "officina vel forgium" at Mulgrave. The whole early history of
the alum-trade in England, and its introduction, is full of fable and error, some of
which the Editor has pointed out in his, as yet, uncompleted History of Cleveland,
in the notice of the parish of Guisborough.

•
* This entry seems to be sufficient to provoke the following note :—
"It was
known that he (King William III.) was so profane as to sneer at a practice which
had been sanctioned by high ecclesiastical authority, the practice of touching for the
Scrofula. The ceremony had come down almost unaltered from the darkest of the
dark ages to the time of Newton and Locke. The Stuarts frequently dispensed the
healing influences in the Banqueting House. The days on which this miracle was
wrought were fixed at sittings of the Privy Council, and were solemnly notified by
the clergy in all the parish churches of the realm. When the appointed time came,
several divines in full canonicals stood round the canopy of state. The surgeon of
the royal household introduced the sick. A passage from Mark xvi. was read. When
the words, 'They shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover,' had been
pronounced, there was a pause, and one of the sick was brought up to the King.
His Majesty stroked the ulcers and swellings, and hung round the patient's neck a
white riband to which was fastened a gold coin. The other sufferers were then led
up in succession; and as each was touched, the chaplain repeated the incantation,
They shall lay their hands,' &c. Then came the epistle, prayers, antiphonies, and
a benediction. The service may still be found in the prayer books of the reign of
Anne. Indeed, it was not till some time after the accession of George I., that the
University of Oxford ceased to reprint the Office of Healing together with the
Liturgy. Theologians of eminent learning, ability, and virtue gave the sanction of
their authority to this ceremony; and, what is stranger still, medical men of high
note believed, or affected to believe, in the balsamic virtues of the royal hand.
One of them is not ashamed to tell us that the gift was communicated by the unction
administered at the coronation; that the cures were so numerous, and sometimes so
rapid, that they could not be attributed to any natural cause; that the failures were
to be ascribed to want of faith on the part of the patients; that Charles once handled
a scrofulous Quaker, and made him a healthy man and a sound Churchman in a
moment; that, if those who had been healed lost or sold the piece of gold which
had been hung round their necks, the ulcers broke forth again, and could be removed
only by a second touch and a second talisman. We cannot wonder that when men
of science gravely repeated such nonsense, the vulgar should believe it. Still less can
we wonder that wretches tortured by a disease over which natural remedies had no
power should eagerly drink in tales of preternatural cures : for nothing is so credulous
as misery. The crowds which repaired to the palace on the days of healing were
immense. Charles II., in the course of his reign, touched over 100,000 persons. The
number seems to have increased or diminished as the King's popularity rose or fell.
During that Tory reaction which followed the dissolution of the Oxford Parliament,
the press to get near him was terrific. In 1682, he performed the rite 8,500 times.
In 1684, the throng was such that six or seven of the sick were trampled to death.
James, in one of his progresses, touched 800 persons in the choir of Chester Cathe-
dral. The expense of the ceremony was little less than £10,000 a year, and would
have been much greater but for the vigilance of the royal surgeons, whose business it
was to examine the applicants, and to distinguish those who came for the cure from
those who came for the gold. On one single occasion William III. was impor-
tuned into laying his hand on a patient. 'God give you better health,' he said,
and more sense.'"-Macaulay, History of England, iii. pp. 478–480.

breaking and wasting the fruit-trees and quick-wood; another for assault-

[109] Will. Loftus of Skelton for stealing from the common field *
of the said vill two stooks of wheat, value 3s. 4d., of the goods of one
John Knagges.
THE SECOND PANNELL PRESENT-
Michael Jackson of Cockeswold for brewing to sell &c, and two
others for brewing and selling &c.
The above-named Michael Jackson's wife for cominge forth of her
house with a pitchforke and beating awaie a man that was cutting down
her Ale-rodd,† he being soe commaunded to doe by Sir H. Belassis, Knt.
Barronett.
* A glance is here afforded at one feature of the ancient rural economy of the dis-
trict. The arable, land of the township lay together in one large field, the "com-
munis campus villæ" of this entry, each separate townsman's portion being marked
off from his neighbour's by low earthen banks, called balks. This field was fenced
round during the time the crops were growing, the fences or hedges being under the
charge of the heyward of the township; on the severance and leading of the crops,
however, the hedge was thrown down or broken through, and the cattle of the town-
ship admitted to common pasture. Traces of this old usage, which had, by the
present date, been sorely innovated on under the circumstances glanced at in the
note to Vol. I. p. 99, were still remaining in this district-specially in one large field
close to Staithes-less than thirty years ago.
†This is a term of unusual occurrence, and possibly one which throws a little
light on the subject of Alehouse or Tavern signs. In Brand's Popular Antiquities,
under this head, the compiler says :-"There is a well-known proverb, 'Good wine
needs no bush,' that is, nothing to point out where it is to be sold. The subsequent
passage seems to prove that anciently tavern-keepers kept both a bush and a sign:
a host is speaking
'I rather will take down my bush and sign,
Than live by means of riotous expense.'
Good Newes and Bad Newes,
by S. R. 4to. London. 1622.
In the notes to the chapter a passage is quoted from 'Poor Robin's Perambulation
from Saffron Walden to London, July 1678,' as follows :—
'Some alehouses upon the road I saw,
And some with bushes showing they wine did draw.'
The inference naturally is that the alehouses were distinguished by something beyond
the mere absence of the bush. And in this connection it is quite noteworthy that
only a few lines lower the commentator says, that, from a passage in 'Whimzies,
or a New Cast of Characters' (which he quotes), "it should seem that signs in ale-

words bearing on the point are--"If she (the hostesse) aspire to the conceite of a
signe, and desire to have her birch-pole pulled down, hee (the painter) will supply her
with one;" and there is then added, "In Scotland a wisp of straw upon a pole is, or
was heretofore, the indication of an alehouse." Almost certainly, then, the "ale-
rodd" of the text is a sufficiently distinct intimation that in the sixteenth and seven-
teenth centuries a pole or rod set up in front of a house indicated that ale was sold
there, just as the bush on its summit would show that wine also was to be obtained f
required.

[123.] THIRSKE,
Qr. Sessions at, 4th and 5th May, 1614. Before Henry Belassis,
Knt. Bart., Tho. Dawney, Rich. Musgrave, Rich. Vaughan, Arth.
Dakins, John Gibson, Henry Tanckard, Henry Franckland, Knts., and
Rob. Brigges, Esq.
* The expression is one not previously met with, and it is not quite certain to what
part of the High Constable's duties the reference is. It would be abundantly obvious
from divers entries in Vol. I. that he was charged with the collection of various
assessments and fines, inasmuch as the amount of his percentage on the sums so
collected by him is dealt with in divers Orders, to say nothing concerning the state-
ment of his duties in divers statutes, and such books as Lambard's "Duties of Con-
stables, Borsholders," &c. (See, inter alia, pp. 28, 30, where "all forfeitures rising in
the Sessions of the Peace" are specially mentioned as to be collected by the Bailife or
High Constable of the Hundred, Leet, &c.) The "defective armour" of the
present Order probably refers to the default in the case of bows and arrows, pre-
sentments and fines on account of which are not infrequent in these minutes; which
also, in the language of more than one old statute, as well as in that of the Bible
(1 Sam. xx. 40), are called artillery. Note also there were divers statutes prescribing
the keeping of horse (or horses), armour, weapons (according to social position), which
were confirmed 4 and 5 Phil. and Mary, c. 11, and not repealed till 1 James, c. 25,
under which men might be impeached for default. In 1392 the Manor of Castle
Levington was held of the King by the service of supplying a man-at-arms
"armatum cum aketon', pallet', lancea et cirotecis de plate" in time of war with
Scotland, the aketon being "a quilted leathern jacket, worn under the mail armour;
sometimes used for the armour itself." Halliwell. As to the pallet :—“ PALET ;
armoure for the heed. Pelliris, galerus. A Palet was a kind of head-piece usually
formed of leather, or cuir-bouilli. Pelliris, galea ex coreo et pelle.' 'Pelliris, a
helme of lethere. Galerus, a coyfe of lethere.' Med." Pr. Pm. and note; [too
long to be quoted entire, but full of interesting matter bearing on the word and its
meanings.]

Jur' &c, as above.]
[138.] ORDERS made &c.
Forasmuch as Grindon bridge was fallen in decay, and if present
remedy had not bene had, a great summe of monie would not have
bene sufficient to repaire the same: and for a present helpe therein Sir
Tim. Hutton did take such order as the decay thereof is repaired, and
by this meane £13 is disbursed for the same, which appeared unto us
att this time: Wherefore it is thought good that a rate should be made
for repayment of the summe of £13.
Whereas diverse Constables being sommoned to appeare att this
Sessions, and to give in presentments of Recusants and alehouse-
keepers, made defalt :-Ordered that 10s. fine shalbe imposed upon

now in possession of the ground where the way lieth, shall leave the
way open for the country to the use and passage of cartes and cariages,
both in regard it was an usuall way heretofore, and that the said Wal-
worth, in the allotment and division of the said ground unto him, had
fower acres more than measure allowed in consideration thereof: And
farther that the said way ought to lie open and be used from the first
corner, being the south-east corner of the said ground next unto
Cracall, unto the north-west corner of the same leading to Hornby
Castle.
Ordered that a warrant &c to attach Geo. Metcalfe of Firb y, gent.,

* This entry is valuable as shewing that the process of enclosure and subdivision
of the common fields of the various townships, which have been named and adverted
to on previous pages and in the notes, was already in operation; and the special
reference to the four acres extra awarded to one of the allottees in the present instance,
on purpose to save the ancient or "usuall" right of way, is quite worth passing
notice.

[141.] Gilb. Marsingale of Whitby, butcher, for an assault &c on
Rob. Berry of Whitby; Anth. Marsingale of Whitby, alehouse-keeper,
for allowing disorder in his house, and Peter Stitchell, a fisherman

keeper for receiving into his house on a Sabaoth day, and in time of
Evening Prayer, divers persons, being no travalers, and had withall in
his house a piper, one Henry Foster, being no inhab'. there but a
wanderer, and suffered the said piper to escape, and did not apprehend
and carrie him to the Constable &c. [Fined Ios., paid over for the
poor in the said parish.]
[141.] A publican of Marton in Pickering-lieth, for keeping an un-
licensed alehouse, without license in the Brewsters tickettes in the
Sessions Rolls holden at Snainton. [Submitted, and fined 3s. 4d:
paid to the Sheriff]: a Seamer man as a common drunckard [See
the alehouses ticket for Seamer]; a Pickering man for keeping an ale-
house without &c. [Submitted, and fined 1os.: paid to the Sheriff.
See the bill for Pickering brewsters]; and a Habton man for brew-
ing &c.
* Osgodby.
+ All these presentments are made on the ground, it is probable, of interfering
with the hours of Divine Service.
Hence it appears that Rolls of the Special Sessions were kept at the places
where they were held, as well as of the Quarter Sessions at the more important places
selected for the holding of them.

A man, late of Whenby, and his wife for stealing in a certain toft,†
at Cuckwold, tres subuculas, Angl. thre harden shirts ‡, value 6d., be-
longing to Chr. and Rob. Smurke.
A tanner from Linton on Owse and a yeoman from Yolton for killing
a rabbit, value 6d., with nets and a ferret, &c.; Rob. Driffeld, a brew-
ster of Easingwold, for suffering unlawfull games att cardes to be used
at unlawfull times in the night in his house.
* The entry closes thus, no further offence than the illegal entrance being stated.
+ "Each cottage stood in its own 'toft,' by which is meant an enclosure of vary-
ing size, while in the rear of this toft stretched the croft, a long narrow enclosure
usually under pasture."—(Atkinson's Handbook to Ancient Whitby.) "Sw. Dial.
toft, Sw. tomt, Norw. tuft, tomt, a toft, a space marked out for building. The
Icel. and Sw. tomt point to the original sense as being simply a clearing,' a space
on which to build a house, which would often be a knoll."-Skeat.
"
"HARDING. A coarse linen fabric used for making wrappers, &c." (Clevel.
Gloss.) The old Yorkshire Hob (Brownie) couplet obtained by the Editor from
an old female parishioner, dead now many years since, introduces the hardin' as the
material of the hamp, or kind of smock-frock worn (often as his only garment) by
the country labourer in old times. It runs-
'Gin Hob mun ha'e nowght but a hardin' hamp
He'll coom nae mair,' &c.
See Whitby Handbook, p. 98. The price of these harden shirts shows how inferior
the quality of the material necessarily was.

QUARTER SESSIONS RECORDS.
[145.] Three persons for joining in the said unlawfull games in the
said house, and the wife of the said Driffeld for that she will not sell
anie of her ale forth of doores* except it be to those whom she
likes on,t and makes her ale of 2 or thre sortes, nor will not let anie
of her poore neighbours have anie of her drincke called small ale, but
she saith she will rather give it to her swyne then play it ‡ for them.
The Jurie &c do present and finde Brotton Beacon § to be in decay.
[145] Raph Lambe of New Malton, lab., for buying of neine
sheepe of Mr. John Cholmley, and sellinge. of them againe within
eight daies; a butcher of the same for buying of two oxen and two
steeres of the same person, and selling them againe within fourteen
dayes.
Will. Hall, Constable of Old Malton, for suffering unlawfull games
to be used and exercised upon Sabaoth daies and other festival daies,
especially upon the feast day of S. Michaell Tharchangell, &c.
[146.] ORDERS made &c.
ORDERED that the two men convicted of killing a rabbit (See pre-
vious page) shall pay to the owner of the close 18d. før treble damages
allowed by the Statute, and 20s. costs and charges, and shall stand
bound to appear at the Michaelmas Sessions in 1615, and in the mean-
time &c.
Whereas Will. Simpson of Ryton, gent"., complains that he is wronged
in being summoned to serve as a Juror, being one of the Verderers
for the Forrest of Pickering-lieth, and the Court concurs in thinking
him privileged: ORDERED that he be discharged from that service
as long as he holds his office.
Edw. Browne of Yolton hath taken the oath of Alleageance.
* An obsolete idiom, but one well worth passing notice.
† A phrase still of familiar occurrence in this district, and equivalent to has a
liking for or favour towards.
In such expressions as "a fountain plays," the "fountains played with wine
instead of water," we have the presence of the same idea as in this curious phrase;
only here the verb is active. Dryden's
"At noon of day,
The sun with sultry beams began to play"
affords another illustration. But there is no other instance of such a use of the verb
as here in any of the usual books of reference.
§ It would be noted a little above that three other Beacons were presented, as in
the present case, for being in decay. The use of the beacon is of great antiquity,
but it is of interest to note how the care of the beacons in this country and at the
present date, was a matter of public magisterial duty.

[146.] Geo. Watkin, L. S., has had relief on former occasions, but
for his importunate clamor and faithfull promisse never hereafter to

Whereas John Turner of Garton in the East Riding, gent"., stands

[147.] Whereas Jas. Harwood of Danby Forrest, yeom"., was bound
&c to keep the peace and appear at the Sessions held at Malton
30 Sept. 1613, and for that he was in danger of law and other proces he
durst not appear; and forasmuch as none appeared that did crave further
peace against him, therefore as his forfeiture amounts to £40 for him-
self and £20 for either surety, which would be an overthrow to his
estate if the same should be estreated against him, the said Recogce.

above.
Whereas Will. Whitton of Kirkleventon was fined at Thirske Sessions
last for that, being called as a Juror, he did not appear upon the Panell,

whereby the Court was deluded not by him but by another unknowne :
Therefore the said fine is discharged &c.

[148.] WHO PREsent
Chr. Rockley of Danby on Wiske, Informer, for taking 12d. from
Rich. Bagley of Cowburne not to give certain information against him :
[Confesses, and submits himself &c, and is sentenced to be set in the
Pillory the next day for an hour.*]
A Leminge man for stealing from a dwelling-house unam diploidam
ceruleam laneam (Angl. a doublet of blew cloth), value rod. [Sub-
mits, protesting he is not guilty, but is fined 12d.]
[1486.] An Askrigg labourer for a common assault on two females
in the churchyard there; four Eppleby men for riotously assembling
themselves and committing an assault on Fr. and Rob. Emmerson
[each fined 5s.] &c; [149.] an Askrigg man for drunkenness (cum vino
et cerevisia,-Angl. with Wine, Beere or Ale-ebrius fuit ita quod
incedere non potuit); John Metcalfe als. Low-in of Askrigg † for that,
accompanied by others of leaud life, shooting at buttes on the Sabaoth
day, and (by report) drincking in his house in time of Divine Service
&c, and also for assisting and rescuing one James Mason, being the
same day druncke, and to be put into the Stockes for his drounkennes
* The Statute 18 Elizth. c. 5 ("made perpetuall" by Statute 27 Elizth. c. 10),
under which this presentment is made, is largely quoted from at the beginning of the
minute. The full penalty for the offence alleged is to stand two hours in the pillory
in the nearest market town, to be disabled from further action as an Informer, and to
forfeit 10. The mitigated penalty in the present instance no doubt depends upon
the man's submission to the Court.
From an Order abstracted below it will be seen that this man is there described
as "John Metcalfe of the Low Inn in Askrigg, alehouse-keeper," whereas here
'Low-in' is his alias. The same kind of distinctive by-name is even yet quite
common in this district. Thus, when the Editor came into it, there were in his parish
-to quote but the one instance two persons with the same Christian and surname
living on the same side of the Dale, and they were distinguished the one from the
other, according to their comparative distances from the upper or higher end-or
'head of the Dale as High William and Low William. Such cases indeed abound.

trick Brompton: the former to pay to the latter for a year and half

Ordered that Geo. Barker of Hunton provide a place of residence
for a widow of the same place, so as the said Barker be agreed withall

of Pattrick Brompton.*
[150b.] Forasmuch as Geo. Preston of Eppleby and others have in
open Court threatened to put Rob. White, a poore man, out of his

them by warrant and take them bound to appear at the next Ses-

giving countenance unto diverse drunckardes and leaud persons—
Ordered that he be discharged from keeping an alehouse, and a
warrant &c to the Head Constables of the Wap. so to discharge him.
Whereas a warrant has been directed by Sir Arth. Dakins against

outrages, &c, putting his neighbours out of their houses, harbouring of
rogues, keeping his neighbours of the said towne drinckinge in his

[1.] HELMESLEY,
Recusantes indicted at the General Sessions of the Peace entered
* There are two volumes, bound in vellum, of Indictments of Recusants only, one
of them, the first, comprising all the indictments of that kind made in the year
1614. The following year has no similar record of such proceedings, and the second
volume, beginning with 1616, contains the corresponding records of that and the fol-
lowing years (1617 only excepted) down to 1628. It is thought better to give in
some detail the entries made upon the earlier pages in the first volume, and then
to adopt a system of coimpression, so far as is consistent with giving a fair view of the
condition of the N. R. as connected with the question of the numbers and the social
position of the Recusants spread over its length and breadth.

* A fugitive would appear to be one who acted in contravention of the Statute
35 Eliz. c. 2, which restrained Recusants to a distance of five miles from their dwell-
ing, and, if they had no dwelling of their own, required them to repair to the place
they were born, or where their father and mother might be dwelling, subject to the
same regulation.
+ There is obviously a mistake in the numbers. Either the age is wrong, or this
second numeral.

give scope for no probable guess even.
+ Persons above the age of 16 years became liable to the penalties enacted against
Recusants by the Statute of 35 Elizth. c. 2.
This reference depends upon the fact that Skinningrave lies part in one parish,
namely, Lofthouse, and part in another, that is to say, Brotton, which latter place
is at the fol. cited styled a parish, though in later years it has been looked upon rather
as a township in the parish of Skelton (See Graves, Hist. of Cleveland, p. 362).
It is now a parish, with its own vicar, and independent of Skelton.
§ We have now a very long list of Recusants from this place, and it is followed by
a proportionally long one from Ugthorpe-lists quite sufficient in length and impor-
tance to give emphasis to a remark in the Introduction to Vol. I. as to the insufficiency
of the returns of Recusants therein contained to enable any one to come to a conclu-
sion as to their numbers and social position.

* See Vol. I. p. 2, note, where the phrase 'pannier-man's causeway' occurs, and
also the note on p. 197, where reference is made to the former mode of carriage of
coal. All the beasts of burden thus employed were equipped with a pannier, which,
in point of fact, seems to have been a packsaddle, possibly with no pannel of wood
belonging to it—rather what would be called a pad at the present day.

steale a pare of stokins of one of the servants of the person to whom
he was committed as gaoler, and also for other misdemeanours &c—It

* This term is one of suggestive interest, and its occurrence in these Minutes
more than justifies the insertion of a note. The Church-road or Church-way, mean-
ing the way or road by which the dead are carried to the Church-yard (called leach-
way in the West, lich-road in Cheshire [Pr. Pm. p. 303, n.], and church-road in
Cleveland) has ever been, and is still in many districts looked upon with peculiar—
indeed, superstitious-regard. Grimm, D. M. p. 796, says, "It was a popular
belief that conveying the body by any unwonted way-i.e., by any other than by
the Hell-road (hellwege)—was a sore scathe to the souls of the dead. And as to the
idea involved in the term hellwege, at p. 761 he says, "From the fourth to the tenth
century helle, halja, hella was simply the other or nether world (unterwelt), the realm
of the dead (without any notion of penal torments). And still in some districts the
word hell, among the people, maintains its ancient sense. For instance, in West-
phalia there occur yet many ancient highways which bear the name of hellweg,
which is much the same as high-road, but originally meant the road of the dead
(todtenweg), the broad road along which the dead could be borne. The earliest noted
occurrence of the word is in a Chronicle of the year 890, the phrase being, 'helvius,
sive strata publica'" [See Clevel. Glossary, ii. p. 593]. The sense in the Minute is
obviously equivalent to, if not the same as, that in high-street, as used in these
Records, or public highway, and the interest originating in the coincidence is obvious.

at the bar before the said Justices [180b.] by the High Sheriff, and on
being questioned by the Justices, pleaded guilty. Therefore it was
considered by the said Justices that he be placed without the King's
protection, and all his goods and chattels, lands and tenements be
forfeited to the King, that Turner himself be committed to perpetual

* A somewhat fuller abstract than usual is given of this minute, as it is the first of
the kind which has occurred; and it is perhaps desirable to give some extracts from
the act on which the proceedings are founded. The said statute declares that "it
shall be lawful for any Bishop in his diocesse, or any two Justices of the peace . . .
to require any person of the age of eighteene yeares or above, being convict or
indicted for any Recusancy, for not repairing to divine Service according to the
Lawes of this Realme, or which shall not have received the Sacrament twice within
the yeere then next past. . . . that being examined by them upon oath shall con-
fesse, or not deny himselfe or herselfe to be a Recusant &c, to take the oath here-
after following upon the holy Evangelists," and a record to be kept of every person
taking such oath. "And be it further enacted that if any such person shall refuse
to answer upon oath to such Bishop or Justices examining him or her, or to take
the said oath duly tendered unto him or her by the said Bishop or Justices out of
Sessions, that then the said Bishop or Justices shall and may commit the same person
to the common gaole there to remain &c untill the next Assizes or General or Quarter
Sessions to be holden &c, when the said Oath shalbe againe in the said open
Assizes &c be required of the said person by the said Justices of Assize or of Peace
present or the greater number of them: And if the sayd person or persons
shall refuse to take the said oath, every person so refusing shall incurr the
danger and penalty of Premunire," that is to say, "shall be put out of the King's
protection, and their lands and tenements, goods and chattells forfeit to our Lord the
King, and shall be attached in their bodies, and brought before &c."

through the country, and had everywhere met with a hospitable reception. The
Egton 'Plough-stotts,' no long time since, made like peregrinations, and met with
a similar welcome. Dr. Young (Whitby, II. p. 880) gives a detailed notice of the
Plough-stots and their performance, and at the close adds—“ Sometimes the sword-
dance is performed differently; a kind of farce, in which songs are introduced, being
acted along with the dance. Egton Bridge has long been the chief rendezvous for
sword-dancers in this vicinity."

ceeding entries show there is no mistake.

the text it is clearly flax as prepared for use, and the same sense is obtained from both

instances is so great as to lead to the suspicion that the scribe has inadvertently put

of the word "Por, a vessel for cooking, or drinking from. This is one of the homely
Celtic words." Skeat.

right measure," with the instance,

but there is little doubt that the reference here is not to the inspection, by the proper
authorities, twice each year, of all weights and measures (and necessarily the scales or
balance also) prescribed by the Act quoted in the last note but one, but rather to the
meaning of the word scale which is presented to us in the term bowl. Skeat gives
this as the first meaning of Scale, and adds, "the plural of A. S, scale, sceála, is in
Diplomatarium Ævi Saxonici," and collates Icel. skál, a bowl, Dan. `skaal, Swed.
skůl, a bowl, cup, as well as Dutch schaal, Germ. schale, a cup or bowl. "Scales"
in this Minute, then, is almost certainly used with the meaning bowl or drinking-
cup. See next note.

view taken in the preceding note

descendants of Latin Albus. Old Spanish genealogies have Albar or Alvar very
early, and therewith ladies called Alvara, Alberia, or Elvira" (Yonge's Christian
Names, i. 335). Miss Yonge gives this as a surmise only, and mentions other
suppositions connected with the question, but on the whole appears to incline to the
Latin origin.

* The Preamble of the Statute I James, c. 9, runs thus :- "Whereas the ancient,
true and principall use of Innes, Alehouses and Victualling houses was for the receit,
reliefe and lodging of wayfaring people travelling from place to place &c."; and in
accordance with the principle thus stated divers enactments were passed in different
reigns having for their object the regulation of Inns and Alehouses, and, inter alia,
authorising “Rulers, Constables or other officers of townes" to compel the reception
and entertainment of bonâ fide travellers; and under such authority these present-
ments (and others like on former pages) were made.
+ The first mention of this name is in MINISTER'S ACCOUNTS, 31-38 IIenry VIII.,
No. 179.
The only probable theory of its origin would seem to lie in a known
practice of story-tellers and legend-makers, of fitting places with legends, and
legends on places.

(Ib.) The verb to splay takes also the form to spay, and is in use in the sense of
removing the generative parts from the female as well as from the male. Thus the
expression a spayed bitch' is one of the earliest in my recollection as connected
with an Essex myth, while Halliwell gives the form 'splayed bitch,' quoting a Lin-
colnshire notion. The combination of terms in the text is curious, and reminds
one of the term 'sow-gelder,' also a well-known one.

This is probably the original of "London Porter." At what precise date London
Porter, so called, began to be brewed seems to be uncertain, but the varying tales or
myths concerning the origin of the name seem to show that the period was a remote
one. Supposing the suggestion is a reasonable one, this entry is of interest as tending
to give some sort of definite date to the existence, if not to the origin, of the drink
since called London Porter, and since that again London Entire or Stout.

* This Volume of the Minutes and Orders is grievously damaged, apparently by
the action of some fluid, which has led to the utter decay and destruction of many
pages, and the damage of not a few others to such an extent that in many cases the
writing is obliterated even where the substance of the paper is not reduced to a con-
dition approaching that of tinder. As will be seen in the sequel, almost nothing of
the entries for 1617 and 1618 remains to be deciphered, the greater part having as
completely disappeared as if the book had been exposed to the action of fire rather
than of water (or other fluid).

* This is the same list as is given in the second Vol. (Register B in Mr. Jefferson's
Report) of Recusants, and therefore, instead of appending it to the Minutes and
Orders for the year 1616, as in the case of the list given in Register A for the year
1614 (See above, p. 58), I print it in the place it occupies in Vol. III. of the Minutes
and Orders. There appears to be no variation whatever in the names, although on
account of the utterly hopeless and ruined condition of the paper in Vol. III. (already
adverted to), it is impossible to be absolutely certain. But wherever comparison is
possible the nominal identity is complete. In the Minutes and Orders all the persons
named are described as "late of" such and such a parish. In the Register the
names are in double columns, in Vol. III. of the Minutes in consecutive order as the
line of the writing ran.

WHORLTON Chapelry *-Will. Wilson, lab., Oliver Smith, sheath-

* This is marked in Register B as in the "Parish of Huton Rudby." Graves
(Cleveland, p. 147) remarks—“This Church has been supposed by some to be a
chapel under Rudby; but it being called in the Archbishop's books sometimes a free
chapel in the Castle of Whorlton, where there was a chauntry, and sometimes a
parish church, it is now considered to have no dependence thereon. The chauntry,
thus mentioned, was called D'Arcy's chauntry, founded, according to Torr, 'in the
free chapel of St.
within the Castle.'" One would have thought there was
no necessity for confounding a free chapel within the Castle" with a parish church
without the Castle. But so it is. Probably the connection with Rudby is explained
by the Domesday fact that Whorlton as well as Rudby were sokes of the Manor of
Hutton, which at an early period became of the fee of the Meinills, lords of
Whorlton.
""
+ The Pr. Pm. word is "SCHEDARE, or schethare," explained by Vaginarius,"
meaning a sheath-maker, as Jeater above is a jet-worker.

* The order in which the names occur appears to vary at this point. In the
Minutes and Orders the catch-word at the foot of the page to carry on to the next
page is Elizabeth instead of Ann as here. But the destruction of the paper at the
upper part of the leaves precludes the possibility of ascertaining what name came
next; but as the destruction becomes less complete, it becomes apparent that many
of the names on the present folio in the Minutes are those that have been given just
above.

Names, i. 395), speaking of the class of names she terms “ names of joy," came
Jodocus, an Armorican prince, belonging to a family which migrated from Wales:
and the feminine, Jodoca, is not yet extinct in Wales. Neither is the very
similar Jocosa, once not uncommon among English ladies, by whom it was called

* The sense borne by this word in its present application is perfectly familiar in
the every-day phrases "patron of a living," "a good living," "So-and-so has so
many livings in his gift," but the word itself, so applied, is not at all familiar to modern
ears. Halliwell gives a Leicestershire usage of it, which is perfectly coincident, in
"LIVING. A Farm." An analogous usage is in the phrase "to make a living," or
"make a living out of" this or that. If not applied to a Churchman, Richardson's
quotation from Corbet. Iter Boreale contains an instance where the word takes the
same meaning as in the text :-
"For us, let him enjoy all that God sends,
Plenty of flesh, of livings, and of friends."

twelve sheaves of wheat. North." As an Essex lad, and with knowledge of Suffolk,
the Editor was quite familiar with the word Thrave as synonymous with shock
(Northern stook) of corn, meaning twelve sheaves as set up to dry after reaping,
preparatory to carting. Just as in the same district a 'hank' of string was com-
posed of so many 'knots,' each knot being of a given uniform length, and kept
separate from its neighbour by an easily undone ligature with two plies of string, so
I take the threave of hemp to contain a given number-12, 20, or 24-bundles
of prepared, or duly retted and collected, hemp, as six threaves or 'stooks' of hemp,
as grown, cut, and 'stooked,' would probably require more carriage than a woman
was capable of.

*❝STOT. An ox ; but rarely applied except to one that is not very old.” Clevel.
Gloss. The Latin word employed in the Minute is juvencus. Halliwell's definition
is "a young ox ; Jamieson's, "a young bull or ox; properly one that is three
years old"; and he adds further " more generally [it] denotes a bull that has been
castrated." The word 'bullock,' as commonly understood at present, is quite
sufficiently to the point as an explanation. The following lines from Piers the Plow-
man are equally good as an illustration :
"And Grace gaf Piers. of his goodnesse foure stottes;
Al that his oxen eriede. thei to harewen after."
What the oxen ploughed out, the stots harrowed after them.
+ The Latin word here is "boves": the "juvenci" of the former Minute were
clearly younger, and their comparative value-£2 each against £4 in the present
case-should be noted.

[308.] Forasmuch as it was Ordered at the Richmond Sessions,
20th July last year, that the pension of John Ingram, L. S., should be
paid to Raph Turner, gent"., yearlie, as long as Ingram lived, and it
is now alleged that Ingram is dead, no further payment &c; foras-
much as Sir Tim. Hutton hath brought in to this Courte his accompt

£163. 14. 7, concerning the House of Correction att Richmond,
which accompt the Courte verie well liketh of and alloweth: Ordered

much as he received and paid of the said £30: and for that, upon
the same accompt, there is £5, parcell of the said £30, in the hands
of the foresaid Rich. Best, wherewith he chargeth himself, as by his
hand writinge, dated 21 Julie, 1617, likewise appeareth: Therefore

appeareth that he hath received more &c: and a warrant &c against
the said Best &c to appear at next Sessions and tender his accompt
of the said £30; loss by fire at Grinton-25s. allowed.
[309.] Leminge Chapel certified to be in great ruine: the inhabts.,

soe charitable a worke) Orders that 40s. be paid by Mr. Rich. Bland,
Thres'. for the Hospitalls, and if more be wanted, further considera-
tion &c; forasmuch as the Overseers of Cleasbie have disobeyed diverse

James Cleasbie: And it was Ordered at the last Sessions at Thirske
that the entire case should be referred to the said Sir Timothy,

upon sight hereof, before the said Sir Tim. Hutton and there show
cause to the contrarie; that a warrant &c to attach Anth. Pratt &c.
[310.] Forasmuch as the House of Correction at Richmond is now
almost finished, and that the Justices of that Division have written to
the other Justices att the Session holden att Malton the last weeke, to
move them to agree and sett downe some order both for a Maister or
Governour of the said House, as also for providing a stocke, and all things
necessarie and needfull for the same: whereupon the said Justices att
Malton, by a generall consent did order that the same should be referred
to the consideration of the Justices of Richmondshire [See above, p. 225]
to determine and order touching the said Maister or Governour, and all
other things belonging thereunto, promising to ratifie and confirm &c:
It is therefore Ordered that Geo. Shawe of Leeds, clothier, shalbe
Maister or Governour of the said House, who hath put in securities &c :
and that he shall have allowed him for his paines and care, for the first
yeare, £60; and yearlie after, £50, to be paid at each Qu. Sessions;
he, the said Shawe, finding a sufficient stocke to be imployed in the
said house. And if, at anie time, the countrie shalbe charged to levie
a stocke for the said House, That then, for everie 100 that shalbe

certaine time limited for his continuinge therein, which we cannott
grante, but have promised, and have so ordered that, if att anie time
hereafter, he shalbe put forth of the same to his losse and hinderance
(and without just cause by him given), that then such reasonable con-
sideration shalbe taken for him, as may reasonablie content him for his
damages thereby susteined.

ORDERS made &c.
ORDERED that a warrant &c to arrest Ambrose Robinson, to take
him bound &c, and a fine of £20 is imposed upon the Sheriffe for
wante of a Baliffe of Bulmer at this Session; a dispute between two
persons touching the propertie of a vice, now in the custodie of Sir
Will. Bamburgh, the one to appear at next Sessions and show cause
why it should not be delivered to the other.
[6.] That Tho. Watson of Raskall, charged with an assault on Sir
H. Franckland, shall be imprisoned for a year, and on his liberation
pay a fine of £20, and be bound with good suerties to keep the peace
in the future &c; whereas Mich. Thackwray is convicted of brewing
&c, and the Court is informed of diverse other foule misdemeanours
done by him, he shall pay 20s. fine, and enter bond &c not to brew

and Marm. Dowsinge, the matters in dispute to be referred to the
arbitrament of Sir Will. Bamburgh, &c; that Tho. Waggett shalbe
fined 40s. for his negligence and ill answeres to the Courte.
:
[7.] In reference to the Order made at Richmond Sessions touching
the £60 to be paid to the Governour of the House of Correction (See
above, p. 229) no time having been fixed nor provision made for the
collection of the same, it is now Ordered that it be forthwith estreeted
&c and be made ready for payment at the next Sessions and it is
further Ordered, by consent of the said Governour, that he shall
furnish the said House with beddinge, and maintenance of meate and
drincke, and such like necessaries to those which happen to be com-
mitted, convenient for a House of Correction: And this Courte doth
request Sir Coniers Darcie and Sir Tim. Hutton, Math. Jobson and Chr.
Pepper, Esquires, to provide before next Sessions loomes* and yrons
for imployinge and ruling, from time to time, those who shalbe com-

It is, on the face of it, improbable that every person committed to the House of
Correction could be employed in weaving, and consequently some inquiry as to the
meaning of the word "loomes" is at once suggested. Clearly the "yrons" would be
for the coercion of the prisoners, and the loomes for their employment. Accordingly,
Halliwell gives, as one meaning of the word Lome, "an instrument or weapon; a
'Loom, any utensil, as a tub;' Grose. Still in use."

ticulers thereof, that the beforesaid Governour may be bound for the
repare thereof, and to leave the said loomes and yrons so repaired att
his departure, &c.
[7.] Whereas it appears by an awarde made by Sir Henry Tanckard,
after reference made to him att a Generall Sessions, that Rob. Franck-
land, late Constable of Danbie, hath collected &c diverse sums of
monie, to the amount of £12. 6. 8 which he ought to have paid over
to Marke Liell, Chief Constable of Langbargh, but has not paid and is
unable to discharge himself of the receipt thereof, and refuseth either
to pay or putt in securitie for paying the same-Ordered that he be
committed to prison, there to remain until &c; forasmuch as the
Courte is crediblie informed that John Bate als. Pearson is a rude,
desperate and an evill-demeanoured young fellow-Ordered that a war-
rant &c to apprehend him and bring him bound &c; that Will. Rimer
(See supra, p. 233), indicted for an assault &c on the Constable of
Morton in the execution &c, shalbe fined £4, &c.
[8.] Touching the case between John Simon and Will Simon, father
and son, and the Order made therein by Sir David Foulis, Bart., and
Sir Tho. Laton [See above, p. 225], that if the said John Simon could
putt in sufficient suerties worth fortie poundes by yeare in Landes (ultra
reprisas) before Dec. 14th, to paie to the said Will. his sonne the summe
of twentie markes by the yeare, att Michaelmas and Ladie day, by even
portions; and also to discharge the said Will. of a yearlie rent of
£3. 17, and to keepe and leave the houses well and sufficientlie
repaired, and the groundes in husbandlike manner well maintained,
that then the said Will. should give unto his said father the full and
peaceable possession of all the whole farme and houses in Kirkleav-
ington during his life: But if the said John should faile in finding
suerties as aforesaid, then the said Will. should finde good suerties to
pay unto his said father 10s. monthlie (4 weeks to the month), and
also to suffer his said father to occupie the house he now dwells in
rent-free during his life; all which at the time of making the said
Order they both willinglie agreed to &c: Now forasmuch as both the
said parties have appeared at this present Session, and it was clear
to the Courte that the said John Simon hath broken the Order, on
his behalfe, Therefore for ending of all controversies and troubles
(which have been manie), and for the absolute establishment of an
exhibition to be paid by the said Will. the sonne unto his father, it
is Ordered that the son shall pay to the father the said sum of 10s.
monthly, for his life, together with all arrears since the said 14th Dec".,
and also that the said father shall occupie the house in which he
dwelleth during his life; and that the said Will. shall enter bond to

such goodes as he deteineth from him and Geo. Idle, which he seized
for my Lord of Rutland, and the partie lawfully acquited and
delivered, or else to appear at the next &c; forasmuch as Meriall
Calvert was enjoyned by the Courte to find suerties for the peace at
the instance of Will. Simon, notwithstanding she departed before
such suerties were found: Therefore a warrant &c; Rob. Freeman
of New Malton, gent"., elected Treas'. for L. S., and Rob. Butler
of Staingrave, gent"., Thres'. for the Hospitals, for Langbargh; Rich.
Wandesford of Pickall, gent"., Thres". for L. S., and Rob. Willie

for wch she hath beene whipped here at Thirske, and besides is to
be taken to Stokesley and there sett in the stockes &c (See above,
pp. 233, 235), [9.] yet the Courte is pleased that if she shall make
humble acknowledgment at the Markett-crosse in Stokesley that she
hath wronged Mrs. Constable, her late Mrs., by laying an unjust
imputation upon her for those matters conteyned in the indictment,
whereof she herself was founde guiltie, and desire forgiveness of her
said Mrs. for her said offence, then the further sentence to be remitted;
An Order having been made at Malton Sessions last Jan". that £40

has received £20, and for the other £20 it shall be presently paid

Wath and Rich. Best, and to take their accompt for £20 remainyng
in their handes, which if they shall refuse to paie, then to committ
them until they do paie the same: And if anie part thereof be unlevied,

by him supposed to be begotten on her body, 12d. weeklie for two
yeares next following, and to continue the said payment thereafter so
long as the Courte should thinke fitt-Now as both the parties have
appeared at this Sessions, and Wood is in arreare to the amount of
£5. 4, which he hath now paid, yet still the Courte sees good to Order
that the said Wood shall continue to pay 6d. weeklie, until the Courte ·
shall take further order &c; whereas it appears by an Order made 26th
Aprill, 1620, that Tho. Weldon should have brought into this Courte at

the same being in Sir Will. Bamburgh's keeping (See above, p. 235), and

sum is insufficient, and as it is certified that £50 will not finish the
same with wood,* and that £23 more or thereaboutes will build upp
the same of stone-Ordered therefore that £43 shalbe presentlie
estreated &c to build and finish the said bridge of stone; whereas by a
former Order £4 pension was allowed to Jas. Ridsdale, L. S., but by
further consideration of the Courte at another Sessions the same was
abated to five markes, now in consideration of his lameness and age
the pension is restored to its former amount.

and Churchwardens, and dischargeth the parish of any further charge
concerning the buildinge of the house abovesaid; a similar Order on

"POINT. A tagged

which the busk was fastened.
'Their points being broken,
Down fell their hose.' Twelfth Night, i. 5.
To truss a point, or the points, was to tie the laces which supported the hose, or
breeches, and to untruss the contrary." Another is described as "sivegar," a

harboure and releive Will. Dawson, his wife and children, which was
late pulled downe by Raph Huton, gent"., and others-on full con-
sideration by the Court, it is Ordered that the said house shalbe pre-
sentlie built up againe by the parishioners of Long Cowton at their
own charge, and sett in the same place where it stood before, and that
house for ever hereafter to remaine and be to and for the use of the
poore of the said parish.†
[42.] That a warrant &c to attach a West Witton woman and bring

forasmuch as Raph Monckton hath not appeared &c according to his
recogne. taken before Sir Edw. Yorke, yét upon the letter of the said
Sir Edward to the Courte for the excusinge his appearance att this Sess".
-it is Ordered that the said Raph shall, within one moneth, appear
before Mr. Aldbrough and enter bond &c to appear at the next &c :
and if he performe not this Order, his former recogne. to be estreated;
that the Thres'. for the Hosp's. shall forthwith pay to the Clarke of the
Peace, in part of payment of his pension, £3, and also shall give unto
Cuthb. Coniers, towardes his releife, 20s., and this Order to be his
sufficient discharge for the same; that a fine of 10s. shalbe imposed
on Will. Metcalfe of Askrigg, for departinge from his fellowes, being
sworne and impannelled upon a Jury for service, before a veredict was
given into the Courte.
* The few noteworthy names in this long list are as follows :-Ellon, Sicklin,
Bownas (now Bonas), Marrinell, Cawstocke, Autherson, Fetham, Hakin or Hakinge,
Fothergale. The list begins with thirty-three presentments from Northallerton
alone (while near the end there are nineteen from Askrigg), giving some idea of the
extent to which the abuse aimed at in these wholesale presentments was prevailing.
Among the place-names only New-forest and Ivelett seem to crave notice.
+ There is an explanation here, which usually is not now to be obtained by enquiry
on the spot, as to the origin and original intention of sundry small houses, dotted
about in various parts of the district, and which are, or have been held to be, within
the control of the parish authorities. Two such exist (to specify no others) in this
parish, any authentic history of the origin or proprietorship of which it has been
hard to obtain. Both are on the very verge of the Common, and no doubt the sites
are on the original Common.

Further Notes to "MINUTES and ORDERS" up to the end of 1620.
"Wears his cloth." See above, p. 121.
This note was accidentally omitted in its proper place, and is therefore subjoined
here.
"LYVEREY of clothe or other 3iftys.. Liberata (liberatura, P.)" The note to
which is—“A livery denoted whatever was dispensed by the lord to his officials or
domestics annually, or at certain seasons; whether money, victuals, or garments.
Even in the Saxon times there appears to have been a distribution of this nature, the
3afol-hwitel, saga vectigalis, of the Laws of Ina, which was, as Spelman observes, a
kind of livery. The term chiefly denoted external marks of distinction, such as the
roba estivalis, and hiemalis, given to the officers and retainers of the Court, as
appears by the Wardrobe Book, 28 Edw. I. p. 310, and the Household Ordinances.
The practice of distributing such tokens of general adherence to the service or
interests of the individual who granted them, for the maintenance of any private
quarrel, was carried to an injurious extent during the reigns of Edward III. and
Rich. II., and was forbidden by several statutes, which allowed liveries to be borne
only by menials, or the members of gilds, &c. The 'liverée des chaperons,' often
mentioned in the documents referred to, was an hood or tippet, which, being of a
colour strongly contrasted to that of the garment, was a kind of livery much in
fashion, and well. adapted to serve as a distinctive mark. This, in later times,
assumed the form of a round cap, to which was appended the long liripipium,
which might be rolled around the head, but more commonly was worn hanging over
the arm, and vestiges of it may still be traced in the dress of civic livery-men. The
Statute 7 Henry IV. expressly permits the adoption of such distinctive dress by frater-
nities, and 'les gentz de mestere,' the trades of the cities of the realm, being ordained
with good intent; and to this prevalent usage Chaucer alludes where he describes
five artificers of various callings, who joined the pilgrimage, clothed all 'in o livere of
a solempue and grete fraternite.' Prol. v. 365. By the same statute lords, knights,
and esquires were allowed, in time of war, to distinguish their retainers by similar
external marks, the prototypes of military uniforms. In the metrical paraphrase of
Vegecius, entitled 'Of Knighthode and Batayle,' Cott. MSS. Titus, A. xxiii., f. 22,
it is said that ancient usage hath ordained three kinds of signs in an army, vocal,
semivocal, as trumpet or clarion, and a third which is noiseless,
'And mute it hight, or dombe, as is dragoun,
Or th❜egil, or th'ymage, or the penoun,
Baner, pensel, plesaunce, or tufte, or creste,
Or lyuereys on shilder, arm, or breste.'
In this passage the collar is evidently one of the liveries to which allusion is made.
It was much in fashion at the time when the Promptorium was compiled.

At p. 41, "defective armour. Full illustration of what is really meant here will
be found in different entries towards the close of this volume, derived from the
"Lame Soldiers" and "Bridge Accounts " Volumes, and in the note touching pre-
paration to meet the apprehended invasion which culminated in the Armada.
At p. 112. "Wathstead." For Wath see Vol. I. 204, 204n. "Stead. A set place;
the true or peculiar place for a thing. Of perpetual use as a suffix; as in Front-
stead, Gate-stead, Fire-stead, Door-stead, Farm-stead, Midden-stead, &c." (Clevel.
Gloss.) We have here one other illustration of the said use.
At p. 146. John Saier, Esq. In 1607 licence was granted to John Sayer of
Worshall, Esq., a convicted Recusant, who was not allowed to depart out of the
compass of five miles from his dwelling-house at Worsall, to pass and repass, within

ten years from the feast of the birth of our Lord God then next ensuing, from his
houses of Worshall, Colborne and Marrick, in the County of York, and to any
other places within five miles of them: And also to hunt, hawk or course his game
he shall fly out of the said compass of five miles, and to follow his said chace, game
or sport; and to go to any hunting matches near the places abovesaid, returning
again after such his sport ended. (State Paper, James I., Warrant Book, i. 199.)
It will be noted that the presentment in the text is dated something within the ten
years specified in this notice of the licence granted. [The Editor is indebted for
this note to W. Brown, Esq., the Secretary of the N. R. Record Society.]
At p. 193, and note. "Oore sand." As an attempt at a possible explanation of this
word, it may be observed that Jamieson gives "Ure, soil," adducing "Isl. ur,
gravelly soil" in illustration. On reference to Rietz's admirable Swedish-Dialect
Lexicon we find Or, stony ground, and ora, a stony wooded bank. Further, he
adduces Norse ur, urd, or, a stony surface, such as is met with at a hill-foot. It is
at least possible that the oore in "oore sand" is connected with the word thus quoted,
and that the meaning of the phrase may be 'sharp sand,' or sand consisting entirely
of particles of silex. And it is worthy of note that, in different parts of the hills
surrounding the district wherein this is written, large masses of stone or rock are
met with consisting entirely of siliceous particles of various sizes, and of so little
coherency that even the pressure of the thumb and finger will, in many cases, reduce
the fragments to sand; and not only so, but the sand thus obtained is, when of the
proper degree of fineness, in general use throughout the district—under the name of
lae-sand-for sharpening scythes (See Strickle, and Lae or Lee-sand, Cleveland
Glossary), but that in no very distant times it was an article of export for use in
other districts. One informant tells the Editor that he remembers cart-loads of it
being fetched away by persons coming from a distance purposely to obtain it. This
then might be the "oore sand" of our Minute.

AN ABSTRACT of the Thres. for Lame Soldiers.
Rece[ipts] and paymentes to Pensioners-Mr. Holtby, Thres".
* It is thought better to introduce here, at the end of the Minutes and Orders up
to 1620, an abstract, or a copy in certain instances (as the case may be), of the
entries in the Book headed thus, and then, as space will permit, of the entries in the
Book which is lettered "BRIDGE Accounts, 1575-1626";—so far, that is, as to the
end of the year 1620. Both these Volumes contain matter which is not indicated
in their respective titles, but matter notwithstanding of no little interest, whether as
regards the history of the district, the history of the country, or the matters which
attract the antiquarian enquirer or the seeker-out of things forgotten or fallen into utter
desuetude. It will be observed in the following pages that there is a great mixture of
matters, and even of dates. It would almost seem as if the volume had been at
some period or other remodelled, and that various documents, which could hardly
have been intended originally to form a part of any volume whatever, have been
introduced and bound up with the more formal leaves of the book at the period indi-
cated. To cite but two instances in which something of this sort is observable, the
sheet which is marked fo. 41, and the second half of it, fo. 42, is not only of such a

size that both the halves require to be folded in two to lie within the edges of the
other leaves of the book, but is written only on what must be termed the inside
of the sheet. It is in reality made up of two folios, each double the size of the other
folios of the book, and the second of them tacked on at the bottom of the first, so as
to form one continuous sheet. The other special instance referred to is met with in
fo. 52, which is neither more nor less than a Maymed Soldier's Certificate-the name
is John Huntley-given under Sir W. Waad's hand, and endorsed by various
"Treasurers" who advanced money to the bearer to carry him on his journey.
Besides this, the endorsement on the parchment cover of the book-that, namely, to
which this note is appended-is, as the book opens, not on the first half of the said
cover, but on the last, and upside down-as it would of course be if the volume
had been in some sort, if not pulled to pieces exactly, yet still, reconstructed with
such and such additions, and the cover accidentally stitched on wrongly. Other notes
will be appended as matters seeming to call for special attention are found to occur.

Ad Sessionem tent. apud Hemsley, 1 July,
36 Eliz. [1594], before Will. Belassys,
John' Dawney, Knts., Henry Belassys and
Rich. Vaghan, Esquires.
BIRDFORTHE. Will. Thornton, gent"., H. Const. of Birdforthe, att
this Sessions did tender his accompt of suche somes of monie as he
haithe levied within the Wapentacke of Birdforthe for the releafe of
the Soldgiours accordinge to the Statute in the xxxvtie year of her
Maties reigne.*
His charge is quarterly 30s. 4d.
Which amounteth in the hole yeare to £6. o. 16.
By the Statute quoted (35 Eliz. c. 4) it is enacted that "Every Parish shall be
charged with a summe weekly towards the reliefe of sicke, hurt, and maimed souldiers
and mariners." By the Statute 39 Eliz. c. 21, there was to be " a further taxation for
the releife of Souldiers and Mariners, where sufficient was not provided by 35 Eliz.
c. 4.
The greatest rate of every parish to be taxed, shalbe 8d. and the least 2d.
weekly. Another provision if the rate be not sufficient for the Souldiers and
Mariners in London. Treasurers shalbe appointed by the Justices. The Justices
may alter the releife of Souldiers or Mariners." By the Statute of 43 Eliz. c. 3, both
these acts were repealed, "and forasmuch as it is found more needfull than it was
at the making of the sayd Acts, to provide reliefe and maintenance to Souldiers
and Mariners that have lost their limbes, and disabled their bodies in the defence
and service of her Majesty and the State, in respect the number of the said
Souldiers is so much the greater, by how much her Majesties just and honourable
defensive warres are increased: To the end therefore that they the sayd Souldiers
and Mariners may reape the fruits of their good deservings, and others may be
encouraged to performe the like endeavours,-Be it enacted &c." that every Parish
be charged with a weekly summe towards the reliefe of Souldiers and Mariners at
the discretion of the Justices in Qu. Sessions at the Easter Sessions in each year,
so as no Parish be rated at more than 1od. weekly, nor under 2d. weekly, the
assessts, to be made "by the agreements of the Parishioners within themselves, or
in default therof by the Churchwardens and the pety Constables of the same parish,
or the more part of them, or in default of their agreement, by the order of the
Justice or Justices in the said parish or most nearly adjoining." The Churchwardens
are to pay over the money raised according to such assesst. to the H. Constables,
and the H. Constables to Treasurers duly elected by the Justices at the said Qu.
Sessions, and who shall be chosen from among such as, at the last taxation of the
Subsidy next before their election, "shalbe valued and sessed at £10 in lands yeerly,
or at £15 in goods." Provisions are then made for the accounts of the said
Treasurers, for default of the Churchwardens, or of the Treasurers themselves, and
as to terms of eligibility of applicants, certificates, allowances, &c, to the same,
and all other matters necessary for the working of the Act.

* The arithmetic is not quite correct here, but it may be owing to the difficulty of
deciphering precisely the amount paid over to Mr. Briggs. If the figures are cor-
rectly copied, and all but the at the end of the sum paid are quite clear, the
balance ought to be 10%, which is certainly not what the scribe wrote, allowing for
the difficulty of deciphering occasioned by an alteration in the figures as first written.

Wheras it was required by the Justices of Peace ther warrant, whose

past: And forasmuch as the Threr. hath, since his entrance unto his

so his accompt cannot be perfit untill the full end of the yeare from
his entry-We thinke yt goode that the said Threr. shall contynew in
his place untill the next Qu. Sessions to be holden for this Devision
after Mydsomer next, as well for the perfectinge of his accompt for the

as he is not able to serve anye longer, forasmuch as by reason therof
he is to be releived by virtue of the Stattut established in the last
Session of Parlyament for releiffe of hurt and maymed Souldiers. It
is therefore not to be doubted but that you, the Justices of the Peace,
and others the Treasorers for the County of Yorck, where he was
impressed, will have a care to see him provided of such a yearly stipend
for his releiffe and mayntenance as by the tenour of the said Stattut is

cipall Knightes and Gentlemen then on the Commission of the Peace

same) was conceyved: Now, forasmuch as the former Order doth
appeare to be burthensome unto sundrye Wapes. or Libties, within the
N. R., and that the said first rate doth appeare to be of the more
equalitie in all places, yt is this daie therefore Ordered that the said
first Rate,

for the repaire of the said bridge. [See Vol. I. p. 7, and note.]
Several of the Beacons here named will be met with in the 6-inch maps of the
Ordnance Survey. But it is by no means easy to identify all of them. Thus it is
doubtful what places both Barrebye and Brampton are intended to specify; and
when the name of the Wapentake itself is so far disguised by the mode of spelling
adopted, such doubt is seen to be not without reason. Perhaps, however, it is more
than probable that Brampton may stand for Brotton, where there certainly was a
Beacon (See above, p. 54, &c.), and Barrebye may be intended for Borrowby, where
also, from oral testimony, there seems to have been one, as well as at Hinderwell—
the latter on the evidence of the Ordnance Survey. It is probable that, at a later
period, the list of beacons was longer than that given in the text, which would
account for the Hinderwell Beacon as well as that at Sneaton, not to mention others.
No notices of these Beacons seem to occur in the local Histories. Danby Beacon
is a well-known name, and the eminence it stood on is still called Beacon Hill, or
the Beacon.

berry Topping. "Between the commencement of the twelfth century and the close

The charge followinge is a full proportion for a 1000 footemen, and
of the sixteenth, the name of this hill always appears under one or other of the
forms Otneberch, Ohtnebercg, Othenbruche, Othenbrugh, Othenesbergh, Othenes-
beryge, Ornbach, Onesbergh, Ounsberry, Theuerbrugh, Theuerbrught, Hensberg,
Hogtenburg, &c. In the Cott. MSS. (belonging, I believe, to about 1640), the new
form Roseberrye Toppinge appears; Rosebury Topping is Thoresby's form in 1680;
De Foe, about 1726, writes Rosemary Torp; but, as far as can be ascertained, no
form of Roseberry appears until after Camden's time-say 1600-and he is the only
writer who, within our knowledge, connects the word Topping with the old form
Ounesberry." [Atkinson's History of Cleveland, Vol. I. 95.] In the text a new
form appears, which would be of great interest in the history of the name, were it not
for the apparent carelessness of the writer in the matter of local names.

"The Spanish Armada, leaving Lisbon May 29, 1588, was first seen by the
English fleet in the Channel July 20. As early as 1573 the Queen had committed
herself to a line of policy which was sure, sooner or later, to bring upon England the
hostility of Spain. "From the time that she made up her mind to espouse the
cause of the Hollanders, Elizabeth, though still ostensibly at peace with Philip, had
permitted her subjects to harass the trade and attack the possessions of the Spaniards
in all parts of the world," and eventually that monarch "saw that to reduce the Low
Countries, so long as England continued to support them, would be impossible; he
therefore began to prepare, on a scale of unexampled magnificence, for the invasion
of England itself.” But long before the storm broke, the warnings which heralded it
were fully understood in this country, and preparations, however apparently inade-
quate (and, in the sequel, dilatory too, as they appeared to have been), began to be
made with the view of meeting it. And all these various entries touching propor-
tions of footmen and horsemen to be levied, equipments for them to be furnished, in
each district and its subdivisions; touching also the various beacons in the N. R. and
their readiness for service if required (see preceding page), are but so many tokens
of the prevailing apprehension, and the no less prevailing determination not to be
found wanting when the time of trial came. In this entry, and the various others of
the same general nature, which are met with in this part of the N. R. Records, we
have a lively notice of the nature of the organization prevailing throughout a district
such as the N. Riding, and in one of them a notice of that which held throughout an
integral portion of the same, viz. the Wapentake of Birdforth. Through the kind-
ness of the Secretary of the N. R. Record Society, himself a lineal descendant of that
"ancient and renowned Justice of Peace," Will. Mauliverer, Esq., of Arncliff Hall
(See above, p. 135), I am enabled to add to the notices just named a further notice of
the interior organization of one of the parishes or townships comprised in Langbargh
Wapentake, from an old and curious MS. book compiled or kept by the said
Mr. Mauliverer, which will render the whole picture almost perfect in its minor or
more private details. Without further preface I give the following extract, which
occurs on the second leaf in the book adverted to :-

¹ It is possible that this may refer to sending men to the musters for training pur-
poses [see above]; or it may be that in the list of Beacons given above [p. 305] the
name Barrebye there written may be meant for Barnebee. 2 It seems uncertain
what this was. 3 Arnclyffe Beacon is mentioned in the list above cited. "SAlet.

meaning to hilt or haft, which no doubt suggests the meaning of the word as used

This charge which is to be imposed upon particuler men is to be
altered from tyme to tyme as men's abillity growe or decrease, and no
certeyne number holden in any towne, but charged on the Wape. where
they dwell at the judgment of the Commissioners.
The new Volume which is now begun upon is designated on the back
BRIDGE ACCOUNTS, 1575 to 1626. But there are Minutes in it of an
earlier date than that, and they are not, quite without exception, con-
fined to matters connected with the Bridges of the North Riding. Thus
on fo. 3b is a minute of a heavy assessment made 12 Jan., 11
Eliz. (1569), for the repair of certain bridges, while on the other or
first side of the same folio are entries touching payments to maimed
soldiers, assistance to one who had sustained loss by fire, and relief to
a poor impotent and houseless woman, and on fo. 4b the proportions
for 1000 footmen, as given already at a recent page.
Still, the Volume is essentially a volume devoted to records connected
with the bridges of the district, and will be found to contain a great
mass of interesting details. In dealing with its contents the same
system of compression as in the case of former volumes will be adopted,
so far as it can be done without entailing omissions of matter or
matters of interest. The contents of the first few leaves will, for
obvious reasons, be given with but little abbreviation, and it will be
immediately noticed that the date of the business described in the first
three or four pages is very distinctly later than that quoted as printed
on the back of the Volume. In fact, with the exception of a few pages
at the end, the writing in the entire Volume is in the same hand,
and obviously executed continuously, and not at the intervals of time
indicated by the incidence of the several Sessions noted. To put
this in other words, it is at once, on inspection, apparent that the
Volume comprises a continuous copy of previous documents, though
whether those documents consisted of entries in a book, or detached
sheets or 'Rolls,' it is impossible to say. That this is so is obvious
from-to name but a single instance or two—a minute of an assess-
ment made 12 Elizth, and noted on fo. 5, beneath which, and immedi-
·ately preceding the names of the signatory Justices (which are copied,
314
QUARTER SESSIONS RECORDS.
not autographs), is the note-Concordat cum orig[inali]; while yet
again, on the reverse of the same page, is a note in the same hand—
Vide novum librum presentationum, fo. 137, the reference being to an
entry in Vol. A' (MINUTES and ORDERS) touching the cawsey of Croft
Bridge, a short abstract of which will be found in Vol. I. p. 149è
and as the handwriting of this note is the same as that of the rest of
the page, and indeed book, it is conclusive proof of the statement
ventured a little above.
As to what follows, a full abstract, and in parts a literal copy, of the
contents of the first half dozen leaves is given, and after that the
matter contained will be compressed as far as is possible consistently
with giving all the real information contained in the Volume. In the
case, however, of the entries touching Yarm Bridge, especially those
near the end, they, with some few others of like or cognate interest,
will be given in extenso, or very nearly so.

* It will be observed, on comparison of this list with the one nearly preceding,
that there is clearly no fixed rule for the apportioning of these several rates. Thus
in the former list Gilling W., Hang W., and Bulmer are all assessed at £56, while in
the second list Gilling W., Hang W., Langbargh, Bulmer and Pickering are all
equally rated. Several other like discrepancies will be noted on the most cursory
observation, as also will others be on closer examination. Thus, in the first list,
while Gilling W. pays £56, Gilling E. pays £46, or something more than 82 per
cent. of Gilling W.; and yet, in the second list, the proportion paid by Gilling E. is
exactly 75 per cent. of the sum paid by the other Wape. Other inequalities of the
same kind are so transparently evident that it is unnecessary to draw special attention
to them. Of course there may have been local reasons or explanations for these dis-

parities, but it seems more probable that, from their unequal and probably unfair
incidence, they gave occasion to the divers attempts recorded in different places of the
present series of Volumes to equalize the pressure by an assessment founded on nicer
calculation, and, at least, presumably more fair and equitable each than its prede-
cessor. See Vol. I. pp. 181-183; also p. 109 and note, p. 219, pp. 255, 256, as

Also we thincke that the workmanshipp of the same will not be made
wainemeete * under the value of £20.
And likewise we thinke that the cariage thereof will lie in £20,
because wood is farr from us † that must serve for our purpose.
Further we do thinke that the timber, when it is laid on the ground,
the workmanshipp thereof, to be sufficientlie done, will not be under
the sum of £50.
The totall summe whereof is £110.

But
* The general meaning of the word is of course apparent: but the special appli-
cation of it is less so-at least, until attention is given to that question. The first
idea that presents itself is, that it is the bridge which is to be made wain-meete.
such conclusion would be hasty, for it is evident that the cost of building such a
bridge as should be wainmeete is noted at the close of this early 'specification.' It
must of necessity be the rendering of the timber "wainemeete" that is intended, and
the meaning of the phrase must be connected with the dressing, and perhaps squaring
of the trees, so as to render them fit for the most commodious carriage possible by aid
of the wains to be employed in their transport. As to the wain, and what it was, see
Vol. I. p. 141 and note.
† Full of interest, and not merely of local interest, as this entry is, perhaps one
matter of special interest is opened up to us here, viz. that at a date certainly not 35
years later than the grant or sale by Henry VIII. of the Scite &c. of the late
Monastery of Whitby, the large timber growing in the extensive forests forming part
of the property had entirely disappeared. In the copy of accounts printed in Whitby
Chartulary [Surtees Society], Vol. II. pp. 719-765, perpetual entries touching the
sale of wood on the various manors comprised in the property are met with, and prob-
ably the following extract, as bearing with a strong significance on the fact noted in
the text, will be more than excused by the reader :- "Smethyholme Woode [in the
Manour of Eskedalesyde, parcell of the possessyons of the late Monasterye of
Whytbye] growinge aboute the scytuations of the seyde manour &c, there be okes of
1x and lxxx yeres growt, parte usually cropped and shred, whereof ccciiiixx reserved
for the fermour and tenaunts there, for theyre fyreboote, houseboote and hedgeboote,
whyche they have bene accustomed to have of the croppes and shredes of the same;
and cccxx resedew, valuyd at iiid. the tree." This valuation-3d. per tree, as
compared with the estimate of value of the oke-trees in the text, viz., IOS. each—
sufficiently explains the statement under comment. Every tree fit to be felled had
