PREFACE vii In October, 1930, I was asked to visit the Muniment Room at the County Hall, Aylesbury, with a view to making a report on the documents in the custody of the Clerk of the Peace and to advise as to the best method of making the information which they contained more avail- able for official use and of greater benefit to the student of economics and to the local historian. I found that the main body of early documents consisted of the following classes:— Quarter Sessions Books, commencing in 1678 and continuing to the present time. These contain the names of the Jurors, a record of the indictments setting out the nature of the offence and punishment awarded, the presentments of the Constables, Orders of Court, and recognizances. The offences with which the justices were called upon to deal mainly comprised breaches of the peace, riots, assaults, etc., refusal to attend church, neglect to repair highways and bridges, insults and opprobrious words used against the Justices, poaching, pound breach, encroachments upon the common, etc., neglect of duty by the Constables, irregular conduct by the alehouse keepers, common nuisance, etc. The Orders of Court relate to County rates, to payments from the County funds, rates for servants’ wages, repairs to highways and bridges, the appointment of County officials, etc. The recognizances were bonds entered into by persons who were charged to appear, and by those who were bound over to prosecute or to give evidence, or to be of good behaviour. Quarter Sessions Minute Books, commencing in 1727 and continuing to the present time. These books were written up in Court by the Clerk, and it was from these that the Quarter Sessions Books were subsequently compiled

______

viii PREFACE Quarter Sessions Rolls, commencing in 1701 and continuing to the present day. These rolls contain the original jury lists, indictments, presentments, recognizances and Orders of Court. Enrolments, of awards and of indentures relating to the purchase of land for County purposes, commencing in 1768. Gamekeepers’ Books, containing the lists of persons licensed for the purpose, the name of the Manor and of the Lord of the Manor. They commence in 1711. Receipt Books, recording the names of persons who received money from County funds for various purposes; which cover a period from 1758 to 1785. Treasurers’ Accounts, stretching from 1736 to 1850. Militia Receipt Books, containing a record of sums of money paid to wives and dependents of Militia men from 1762 to 1778. Subsequent to the commencement of the nineteenth century various other classes of records are preserved. Generally speaking, the documents are well preserved and in good condition, a possible exception to this being the Sessions Rolls, some of which were packed on the top of the shelves and were covered with dust: however, these are now being cleaned and pressed flat, with a view to being bound in course of time. At a meeting of the Standing Joint Committee of Quarter Sessions and the County Council, held on 7th January, 1931, it was decided that a Calendar should be compiled, com- mencing with the earliest records, i.e., the Quarter Sessions Books, and that such calendar should be comprehensive of the information contained in all classes of records in existence for the period covered by the Calendar. The Volume to which this Preface has been written is the outcome of this resolution. It covers the period from Midsummer, 1678, to Easter, 1694, and therefore deals only with the Quarter Sessions Books. The fact that Sessions records existed prior to the date of those now calendared is proved by many references to orders to the Clerk of the Peace to search the records as to

______

PREFACE ix the liability of the County in respect to various payments, and especially when Thomas Willis, Esquire, was “to have the liberty to peruse the antient Record and Books belonging to this Court, to search in what manner and by what contributions Bridge, in Newport Hundred in this County, hath been antiently repaired” (p. 334); and when the Clerk of the Peace was ordered to hand over to the Under Sheriff the “Old Books of Orders of this Court.” (p. 346). The dangerous system of putting the onus of selecting items of outstanding interest or importance upon the shoulders of the editor has been avoided, at the risk of making the volume somewhat bulky and tedious to read, but it is doubtful whether any editor living has so general a knowledge as to be able to select references which will comprehensively satisfy the ever-growing army of students and historians. The present volume therefore contains the name of every person and of every place mentioned in the original records, and refers—sometimes exceedingly briefly—to every subject, so that a student of biography or topography may rest assured that, subject to typographical errors which humanly arise, he will find a reference to his subject in the comprehensive Index at the end of the Volume, if there is any mention of it in the original records. The original books from which this Calendar is com- piled were kept with method, system, and meticulous care. Consequently, it has made the work of the Editor simpler in some ways, though more arduous in others, as it has been found extremely difficult to abridge the original entry when it has already been noted with such conciseness. The more usual routine entries have been standardized or tabulated. For the reasons above set forth, the Calendar, taken page by page, must inevitably be rather dry reading, but its value must be measured when taken in the aggregate, and from the small details which it supplies to general history rather than from the actual fresh items which it adds. In order to give the reader a general idea of the most important items which the Calendar contains, I will now refer to a few events of political, social and economic history, which must clearly have had an effect upon the lives of the ______

X PREFACE people of Buckinghamshire in the latter half of the seventeenth century. In Midsummer, 1683, reference is found to the Rye- house plot, which had been discovered in the previous June, when the grand jury and the freeholders of the County join with the Justices in expressing to King Charles their “sincere Joy for the preservation of his sacred person from a most Wicked and horred Conspiracy against the precious lives of his Majestie and his Royall Brother, James, Duke of Yorke” [p. 129]. The activities of the Duke of Monmouth are again alluded to in 1685, when a certain David Stanley was arrested as a “daungerous person” for drinking the Duke’s health in the house of John Saunders at Akeley [p. 183], and at the same sessions the Clerk of the Peace was paid £30 for “dis- tributing the King’s Commands in Relation to the late Rebellion” [ibid]. The disturbances attendant upon the coming of William and Mary (called, on page 304, “the late Revolution in this Kingdome”) may be noted from the entry in April, 1689, when “there being no dedimus for the swearing of their Majesties Justices of the Peace named in the new Commis- sion of the Peace at the opening of the Sessions, there was no writt issued to the Sheriffe of this County for the summons of a Jury” [p. 281], and at Michaelmas, 1690, when it is remarked that “forasmuch as the fines and issues of Easter Sessions last past and other Sessions before have bene pardoned by the late Act of Indempnity, whereby the Sheriff of this County has bene disabled to defray the Justices wages as by Act of Parliament he is impowered with the fines and issues of the Sessions” [p. 356]. References to the Army and Navy are numerous, mostly in cases where pensions are granted to old or maimed soldiers. Edmund Serch, for instance, is granted a pension upon the claim of “having faithfully served his Majesty 4 yeares att Tangier and being burst in the said service” [p. 205]; Richard Brugis was awarded a total pension of £8 a year for “haveinge beine a Comissioned Officer and an Eminent sufferer for his loyalty in the Late Civill Warrs” [p. 247], and this pension was increased later when he showed that he had “lost a Considerable Estate of the value of five thousand pounds and upwards” through his adherence to the Stuart ______

PREFACE xi cause [p. 260]. Another beneficiary was Thomas Cranke who “did serve his late Majesty King Charles the first in the warrs against the then Rebells in and Scotland,” and said “that he was imprest so to do by the Constables of West Wycomb” [p. 365]. Ralph Thompson also stated that he “was imprest and sett on shipboard the Vanguard in the Warrs against the Dutch in the year 1666, and the two Fleets being Engaged on St. James’s day in the same year and there was wounded” [p. 394]. John Clements was also disabled by a wound “received in a sea fight in the service of the late King Charles 11” [p. 412], and William Hobbs was a soldier under Charles 1 and 11 “both by sea and land in the Warrs against the Dutch” [p. 506]. Thomas Horwood served as a Lieutenant of a Foot Company “in Garison at Dunkirk from the time of his said late Majestyes happy Restauration till the Surrender of the said Garison to the French” [p. 483]. The index will reveal many more cases. It is clear that only a limited number of pensioners were allowed to benefit at one time, regardless of the number of deserving cases, as constant references occur to persons petitioning to receive the pension formerly enjoyed by an old soldier or sailor who had died. The County Militia takes a prominent place in the work of the Justices, and the accounts compiled by the deputy lieutenants are frequently submitted [pp. 235, 367, 436, 465]. In Michaelmas, 1690, an entry refers to the fact that “dureing the late Invasion of this Realm by the French, it was thought Expedient by her Majestie in Councill that the Militia of this Kingdome should be continued in Arms longer than a Moneth for the most necessary defence thereof” [p. 355]. This refers, presumably, to the landing of James II in Ireland which was supported by Louis XIV. The billeting rates are given in Easter, 1691, and repeated two years later [pp. 380 and 462]. From these, it appears that the inhabitant providing a billet received for a “Com- missioned Officer of Horse being under the Degree of a Captain” for diet, small beer, hay and straw, 2/- a night; for a Commissioned Officer of Dragoons being “under the Degree of a Captain,” 1/6; for a Commissioned Officer of Foot “under the Degree of a Captain” for diet and small beer 1/-; for a light horseman’s diet, small beer, hay and ______

xii PREFACE straw, I/-; for a dragoon’s diet, 9d.; and a foot soldier’s diet and small beer was valued at 4d. While these rates, considering the value of money at the time, appear to be sufficiently generous, it is doubtful whether much profit would have accrued to the householder of 1914 if beer had been included in the rate allowed for the reservist who was in those critical days thrust upon him. Complaints of “irregular quartering of souldiers” are dealt with in 1693 [p. 470]. The Mutiny Act of 1689 was the main statute controlling billeting, and its provisions for the protection and payment of the inhabitants were the result of very many years of complaint. Since the seventeenth century, billeting was practically never resorted to until the necessity of the Great War re-introduced it. A curious military incident is related in 1693 when “a foot souldier in the Company of Collonell Cambon, in his March with the said Company from Beconsfield to in this County, fireing his Musquett the same broake too peices accidentally in his hands, whereby one of his hands was so broken and meighmed that he was rendred unfitt for his March” [p. 482]. The Justices appear to have carried on a ceaseless battle against the corruption of the age, both inside the County itself and with outside officials. In 1680 they presented an address to the King “against the farmers of the Revenue and their officers” stating that the revenue collectors, when there were bills of Indictment against them for extortion “well proved in Court,” always produced a Certiorari to remove all proceedings against them into the King’s bench [p. 56]. This procedure would naturally add to the expense of the action, and, no doubt, created a feeling among local inhabitants that justice would be harder to obtain. Various revenue officials were indicted for extortion; e.g., three collectors at Amersham in 1679 [p. 30], a “woolconner” in 1684 [p. 146], and another official in 1690 [p. 337]. In this last year there were numerous complaints against the methods of “the gawgers of their Majestyes excise” [p. 333]. The original petition eventually had some effect, for in 1690 two Justices were ordered “to attend the Right Honourable Richard Hampden, esquire, Chancellor and Under-Treasurer of their Majestyes Court of Exchequer, and the Right Honourable Thomas Wharton ______

PREFACE xiii esquire, Comptroller of their Majestyes Household, and to returne them the humble thanks of this Bench for the great Care they have bene pleased to take for the preventing their Majestyes Subjects of this County from being oppressed by the Under Officers of their Majestyes Office of Excise ” [p. 356]. Inside the County matters appeared little better, for it seemed impossible to administer the most complicated Poor Law system of the day without encountering much corrup- tion. In 1682, the executrix of the late County Treasurer, Thomas Freer, was ordered to produce his accounts which she was detaining and also “to give an accompt of the Taxes to the King’s Bench and for deteyninge the pensions of divers persons uppon accompt after they have been dead many yeares” [p. 100]. In the following year, the succeeding Treasurer was warned “to give in a list of all pensioners liveing or dead” every Session, and it was alleged that money had been paid to pensioners “when they have beene dead” [p. 121]. The office of County Treasurer, or Receiver General, was abolished on the death of Joseph Rawson in 1688, and his duties were split up between the four treasurers elected annually for the King’s Bench and Marshalsea and for the Maimed Soldiers. Rawson’s accounts were submitted to the Court in 1689 and are given at some length in the Calendar; they show that matters had not been going well for some years [pp. 304-5]. The accounts of the new treasurers, examined by the Justices in 1692, showed that things were little better, and it was ordered that each treasurer should keep a proper account in “a Book, con- sisting of two Quire of good Dutch paper handsomely bound” and that in future all “allowances of charges and disbursements” should be defrayed by the treasurers themselves [pp. 426-7]. Apparently “Homage fees” were payable on the passing or journeying of the King through “any of his Majesties Countyes, Corporations, or into any Cathedrall or Collegiate Church” within the Kingdom “upon the first tyme next after his Majesties accession to the Crowne.” In the case of Buckinghamshire, the fees amounted to £36 6s. 8d., which the Sheriffs had had to pay by order of the Court of Exchequer, but it was subsequently held that it should be paid by the inhabitants of the County [pp. 196, ______

xiv PREFACE 202, 246 and 259]. It will appear from these references that James II must have visited the County during his brief reign, and presumably the County was again liable if, and when, William and Mary passed through the County. Reference is found to the Proclamation of James II in 1685, when the deputy Clerk of the Peace received £3 for “procleymeing the King in the Chilterne parts” [p. 184]. In 1686 the proper form to be used when claiming exemption from “Hearth money” is given [p. 206]. Elections to Parliament receive two mentions—the first in 1685, when Joseph Cock was fined £1 for assaulting Mr. Richard Collyns “att the Election of the Knights of the Sheir” [p. 184], and the other in 1688, which refers to “writs for Election of Members to sitt in Parliament” [p. 275]. The principal business of the Justices, as may be seen from the entries, was the administration of the Poor Law, and the number of settlement orders recorded increases throughout the period. Many orders were issued dealing with settlement and with the attempt to prevent begging and vagrancy. In the very first session there is an order concerning appeals from removal orders [p. 3], and in the next session an order concerning the removal of “cripples” [p. 15], which is dealt with more fully in the following session [p. 37]. At Christmas, 1679, it was provided that all beggars in Aylesbury were to be struck off the pensioners’ roll and imprisoned [p. 43]. The question of what constituted a proper settlement and the proper methods of removing an intruder receive interesting entries [pp. 76, 119 and 120], while special orders against vagabonds, and especially “Scotch and other peddlers and petty Chappmen” are given on pages 156 and 258. The conveyance of “cripples” is again mentioned at the end of the volume, when “the Constables of Taplow are ordered to hire a horse and cart for this purpose. . . .” [p. 492]. The Justices were, it will be seen from the index, by no means sparing in ordering relief, but the inhabitants of the did not always agree as to the benefit of this procedure, as is exemplified in the complaint of the inhabitants of that since the wife of Thomas had been in receipt of relief she had “wholly given herself to an idle life” and was now in gaol [p. 425]. The County Gaol at Aylesbury naturally comes in for ______

PREFACE xv considerable mention. A rebuilding of the gaol upon a different site was proposed in 1682 and a Surveyor for the work was appointed in the following year, but the project came to nothing [pp. 112 and 141]. In 1683 Nathaniel Birtch, the gaoler, petitioned to be paid his arrears of rent for the gaol, which had been owing to him for the last eight years at the rate of £20 a year [p. 141], but he probably did not get his money, for he was fined £5 at the next Session “for sufferinge the Quakers comitted by this Court to goe att lardge,” and was dismissed from his post [p. 149]. His successor, William Benson, received various small sums for repairs to the gaol from time to time [pp. 196, 200, 413, 505], and in 1692 was paid for looking after “many dangerous, disorderly and rude prisoners” [p. 444], while in the follow- ing year £25 10s. was spent in rebuilding two rooms after the escape of a prisoner [p. 463]. Deaths in the gaol were not infrequent [pp. 323, 337, 366, 380 and 492], but there were many births of children during the imprisonment of the mothers [pp. 224, 234, etc.], which caused a great expense to the County for maintenance. Medical treatment was given to the prisoners at the County’s expense, but apparently not much was expected from it if one can judge from the case of Mr. John Piddington, apothecary, who was paid £2 10s. for supplying medicines to prisoners which “by the blessing of God had good Effect” [p. 483]. Mr. Tilcock, a “chirurgeon,” appears to have performed a miracle in effecting “the Cure of one Manne lately Executed for felony” [p. 464]. Allowances are given to prisoners who would otherwise have starved [pp. 241, 492, 505, etc.], while a man im- prisoned for debt was ordered to be allowed 1s. 6d. a week by his creditor [p. 43]. The release of poor prisoners for debt under the provisions of the Act for that purpose is mentioned several times [pp. 18, 32, 382, 383]. The bridewells or houses of correction, of which there were three, at Aylesbury. and , were under the supervision of the Justices and the salaries of the governors of these houses were paid quarterly [see p. 3, etc.]. In 1683 the bridewell keeper at Newport Pagnell was discharged for negligence [p. 128]. The gallows at Aylesbury were rebuilt in 1680 at a cost of £2 6s. [p. 52], and references are also found to the stocks ______

xvi PREFACE [pp. 195 and 342], the “cage and pillory” [p. 187], and the ducking-stool [p. 267]. The offences dealt with by the Justices were generally of a minor order, common assaults and minor religious offences, such as absence from Church, but the law was no respecter of persons, and one case of interest is found when Nathaniel Withers, described as a “gentleman,” forfeited his recognizance of £100, while his sureties, Thomas Tallwood of , a mercer, and John Edwards of Slapton, a labourer, forfeited £50 for the non-appearance of the principal. It is unfortunate that we do not learn the nature of the offence with which Withers had been charged [p. 5]. Sir George Longe, knight, of Chipping Wycombe, was indicted in 1678 for assaulting Frances, the wife of Nathaniel Peirce [p. 6]. Perhaps it may be imagined that the Justices were not always successful in carrying out their orders made against important bodies, if one is to judge by presentment of the Grand Jury in Michaelmas, 1681, that the “Provost and fellows of Eaton College” were to rail a certain ditch [p. 80], and the order of Midsummer, 1682, which set out that “the process against the provost and fellows of Eaton College be stayed until further order” [p. 98], and we hear no more of it. There are several references to highwaymen [pp. 17, 43, 434, 471 and 493], but the most interesting of these is the case of Joseph Perkyns, an ostler at the Arms, at Gerrards Cross in Fulmer. It appears that in December, 1691, he was “goeing with Armes to defend a waggon loaden with their Majestyes money that was assaulted by severall Theives and Robbed near the said Inn. The said Theives discharged two Pistolls upon him” so that he was seriously wounded in the arm and in the body. The case is mentioned as the result of a claim by Mr. Gray, a surgeon, who “undertook and (through the blessing and mercy of Almighty God) in great measure has perfected, his cure and demands of him £20” which Perkins is unable to pay [p. 422]. The Justices ordered the account to be settled from the County funds [p. 434]. Edward Swannell. of , was brought before the Justices for saying of James II, “that the King of England ______

PREFACE xvii was not King until he was Crowned,” and although the statement seems harmless and obvious enough, he was com- mitted to gaol [p. 176]. In 1692, Gilbert Wondrum and Patrick Cambell were also imprisoned for “speaking danger- ous and scandalous words against the Government” [p. 432]. Ralph Lacey, however, was only fined £5 for “speaking scandalous words against the King and Queen” [p. 364]. The relations between master and servant were looked after by the Court. Moses Burroughs was indicted for “receiveing servants without testimonials” [p. 159], while there are several cases of servants being ordered to work under penalty of imprisonment [pp. 234, 319, 322]. From the economic point of view, especial interest attaches to the rates of wages for “Servants, labourers and workmen,” published for the first time in the Easter Ses- sions, 1687. The wages varied between yearly and daily, and those with “meat and drink” and those without. Apparently labourers “in the Chilterne” received more than those “in the Vale.” The highest paid were “men- servants in husbandry, who received £4 10s. a year “in the Chilterne,” and a free mason who received 1s. 8d. a day without meat and drink. The lowest paid were women maidservants who received £2 a year, and a “yelmer” (thatcher's assistant) who received 2d. a day with meat and drink [pp. 227-229] This table is repeated, with slight alterations, every Easter Sessions. The rates for carriage of goods were laid down by the justices in Easter, 1692, in accordance with recently passed Act of Parliament [pp. 476, etc.]. Thomas Stephens was three times presented for picking the lock and damaging the clock of the Chapel at Colnbrook [pp. 116, 181, 187]. There was obviously some unrest in this parish, for a clerk named Brice was presented for unlawful preaching there [p. 389]. It would be interesting to know the cause of the disturb- ance at Winslow Market, in 1681, when twenty women were indicted for riot and assault [p. 73]. Other offences which may be noted are: keeping a dangerous mastiff [p. 159]; keeping greyhounds [pp. 6, 40, and 360]; cheating and counterfeiting [pp. 11 and 90]; keeping a bowling alley [p. 360]; illegally milking cows [p. 159]; poaching rabbits, fish, etc. [pp. 230, 238, 266, ______

xviii PREFACE 351]; changing corn [p. 487], and the most curious charge of cutting off and taking away the manes and tails of horses [p. 361]. The case of a reward being given to an informer is given on page 52. The lists of persons presented or indicted for recusancy or absence from church contained several well-known names and assume very large proportions until the Declaration of Indulgence in 1687, there being nearly 200 persons presented for recusancy at a single sessions in 1683 [pp. 125-6]. “Con- venticles” were rigidly suppressed and the allotment of the fine, or “conventicle money,” is dealt with frequently [pp. 26, 52, 128, 134, 135, 149, 156, 162, 169, etc.]. The rigourous enforcement of the laws against Dissenters and Conventicles is insisted upon in 1682 by special orders [pp. 95 and 111]. In the following year it was stated that Thomas Read was adjudged unfit to be petty constable of Aylesbury, in view of the fact that he was a Dissenter and a frequenter of Conventicles, though such deprivation can- not have caused him much hardship [p. 128]. No person was to be licensed to sell ale or beer “but what are loyal and well affected to the Government” [p. 134]. In 1691, the vicar of Olney complained against the activities of dissenters in his parish, and especially against a certain Mr. Davis for “promoting unseasonable Meetings and unlawfull Oaths” [p. 403]. At the same session the Court made a special order as to Sunday observance and gave a list at length of all the Acts in force, which were to be fully enforced. They stated that they were convinced that “great Profanation of the Lords day, the too Common Practice of Cursing and Swearing,” etc., had increased lately, and that they were resolved to take measures to suppress them in view of “her Majestyes pious and earnest desire for redressing and punishing the same, in acknowledgment of the Mercies of God of late vouchsafed to these Kingdoms (and being sensible that the Severe Judgments of God have usually fallen upon Nations and Citties persisting in such Impieties)” [p. 403]. The Clerk of the Peace was in 1683 ordered to interview the Bishop of Lincoln (in whose diocese Buckinghamshire then was) to “intreat” him to give his “positive” order that special care be taken to see that only good church- ______

PREFACE xix wardens and [those] well affected to the government” be appointed [p. 112]. To those who are interested in meteorological items, the references to the weather during the period of the Calendar will no doubt be useful. In January, 1690, the inhabitants of Beaconsfield and Haddenham were given further time to repair their highways and bridges owing to the “unseasonableness of the Weather” [pp. 320, 321], while at the same sessions a petition for assistance was presented by Rose Roberts of “Evershaw Oldwich in Luffeild Abby” because her house had been “blown downe by the late great wind” [p. 323]. In the Michaelmas Ses- sion, 1693, time was given to the inhabitants of to repair their bridge “by reason of the Great Raines and ill weather that hath happened this sommer” [p. 480]. The diversion of a watercourse by Rev. Robert Pead, the rector of Horton, between his yard gate and the house of Solomon Stephens, resulted in the drowning of a child of the said Solomon, and the rector was ordered to make a bridge for the passage of carts and carriages over the ditch [p. 400]. It will be remembered that it was incumbent for every house or land owner to undertake the work of repairing the highways or else to provide labour or wagons for this purpose. This duty was known as “Statute Work,” and constant references are found in the calendar to persons refusing or failing to undertake this duty. The onus of repairing bridges sometimes fell upon the lord of a Manor, sometimes on the inhabitants of a parish, and sometimes on the County. Those interested in the history of bridges in the County will find many references in the index. Certain matters affecting the County itself may be noted: the division of the parishes of and St. Leonards [p. 30], of Great and [p. 33], and of and Woodham [pp. 44 and 99]; the tolls at Eakley Bridge [p. 75]; the maintenance of Colnbrook Bridge out of the tolls of the markets and fairs held at Colnbrook [pp. 343-4]; the loss of some of the County records in 1691 [p. 382]; and the liability of the vicar of a parish to provide work upon the highways [p. 261] and to subscribe towards “robbery money” [p. 482]. ______

XX PREFACE The exemption of Royal servants from discharging public duties is exemplified in the case of Mr. John Ferrers, “his Majesties immediate servant” [p. 257], and Robert Bartlett [p. 275], who was “in dayly Attendance in and about his Majesty att his Majesties Palacee att Windsor.” In 1679 Richard Flutt of Taplow was granted a “Fire Certificate” under which he could solicit the alms of the charitably-minded throughout the country to recompense him for his losses by fire [p. 25]. In two other cases, the Justices provided compensation out of the County Stock [pp. 183 and 357]. The compilation of a Freeholder’s book to determine who was eligible for jury service receives three mentions [pp. 110, 122, and 423]. Other references of miscellaneous interest are to a person suffering from “the Gout” [p. 59]; licences to sell coffee, chocolate, tea, and “aromatick” [pp. 61 and 306]; the price of beer at 1d. a quart [pp. 62 and 66]; the wages of molecatchers and haywards [pp. 155 and 183]; a mention of the “Broad Seal of England” [p. 382]; and references to a “bone-setter” [p. 379] and to a tobacco-pipe maker [p. 493]. An interesting case is found in 1680 of the Vicar of refusing to allow the overseers of that parish to examine his parish register. He was ordered to hand over the registers to certain of the Justices [p. 51]. It was in 1694 that an Act [6 and 7 William III, Cap 6] was passed which placed a tax on births, marriages, and burials and compelled the incumbent to register these events. It also insisted that the records were to be open to public inspection upon payment of a fee. The long lists of persons who took the new oaths prescribed in 1689, which start in the Midsummer Session of that year should certainly be studied with interest, for they contain the names of all office-holders and of most persons of importance in the County. They also contain the names of all dissenters, and the lists of Meeting Houses registered are also of considerable interest; it will be seen that “New Jordans” at Chalfont St. Giles, is amongst them. The Mansion House of “the Right Hon. Philip Lord Wharton” was also registered as a Meeting House [p. 340]. Famous names abound throughout the Calendar, and ______

PREFACE xxi amongst the Justices of the Peace many are to be found. To save space, these names of the Justices, which recur constantly each session, have been put together in an Appendix [pp. 508-511]. Other names which may be mentioned are Sir Thomas Longueville [p. 14, etc.], the Earl of Carnavon [p. 20], Sir John Borlase [p. 94], the Earl of Middleton [p. 189], Lord Sidney [p. 378), and the Earl of Northampton [p. 346). Many others will be found in the index. The system of spelling adopted throughout the volume is for Christian names to be spelt in modern spelling, and to be spelt as in the original; place names are spelt as in the original in the Calendar, but in modern spelling in the index. In conclusion I would like to record my deep appreciation of the sympathetic attention which the Standing Joint Committee has always given me in the preparation of this work, and to the Clerk of the Peace for his advice and assistance. I would also like to show my appreciation to my partner, Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd Reckitt, M.C., who has not only assisted me greatly in the compilation of the Calendar, but has also taken upon himself the very arduous task of compiling an index to the work.

They reported that the balance of the last account taken on the 4th May, 1688, was £352. 6s. 8d., which, adding £82. 11s. 2d., the quarterly payments for the Michaelmas session, and deducting £56. 3s. 0d., the disbursements made by the receiver general before his death, leaves a balance of £378. 14s. 10d. due from him to the County stock. When Mr. Rawson was appointed, he entered into a bond, dated the 28th April, 1683, with Hugh Glover, cooper, and Thomas Alexander, pewterer, as sureties, before Sir Richard Temple, K.B., of Stow, Sir Ralph Verney, Bart., of Middle Cleydon, Sir Anthony Chester, Bart., of Chichly, and Sir John Busby, Knt., of Addington, under which the parties were bound in the sum of £300. This bond was produced to the committee by Thomas Farrer of Aylesbury, esquire, but they have not been able to institute any proceedings upon it “by reason of the late Revolution in this kingdome and want of Sufficient Authority and means for prosecuting of the same, nor are any of the said Security liveing except Thomas Alexander, who wee apprehend to be in a declining condition.” Mrs. Rawson. widow of Joseph Rawson, stated that there was £46. 18s. 0d. “in her said Husband’s house in ready money,” and £20 owing to him by Hugh Glover of Aylesbury. As regards receipts and payments for the Michaelmas quarter, the quarterly receipts were as follows:— £31. 18s. 4d. from Mr. Samuel Grainge, treasurer for “the upper division for the maimed soldiers”: £31. 7s. 3½d. from Mr. Richard Playstow, treasurer for “the lower division for the maimed soldiers”: £10. 2s. 9½d. from Mr. Edward Baldwin, treasurer for “the upper division for the King’s Bench and Marshalsea”: £9. 2s. 9d. from Mr. William Hartley, treasurer for “the lower division for the King’s Bench and Marshalsea.” This total of £82. 11s. 2d. is the quarterly amount assessed upon the County. The quarterly payments were as follows:—£24. 10s. 0d. to the various County pensioners: £7. 10s. 0d. each to the bridewells at Newport and Aylesbury, and £2. 10s. 0d. to the bridewell at Wickham: £1. 12s. 6d. for “nurse- ing and maintaining a child born in Aylesbury Goal”: 10s. “to the King’s Bench and Marshalsea.” This made a 304 ______

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE SESSIONS RECORDS. VOLUME II. by letters patent dated the 29th August, 1543, “did grant to the said Town of Colebrooke a weekly Markett and two Faires in each year, (vide licet) at the Feasts of St. Marke and St. Symon and Jude, and did thereby give to the said Town the Toll of the said Markett and Faires, the profitts of which (amongst other things) were to be employed in the repaires of the said Bridges and Causey.” Similarly, King Charles I, by letters patent dated the 8th October, 1635, granted two other fairs, “at the Feasts of the Annunciation of St. Mary the Virgin and St. James.” For a number of years these profits more than sufficed to pay for the necessary repairs, and the balance was devoted to relieving the poor of Colebrooke. “But for many years now past, and to this time, the Tolls of the said Faires and Marketts have decreased very much and are worth very little, and are by no meanes sufficient to defray the Charges of the said repaires. Wee do, therefore, conceive that the said Bridges and Causey ought to be repaired by the profitts of the said Faires and Marketts as far as they will go, and that what is wanting must be made up by a rate to be layd upon all the inhabitants of the said Towne of Colebrooke, lyeing in the severall parishes of Langly and Horton in this County and in Stanwell in the County of Middlesex, the whole Town being united in one Corporation.” p. 297.
