The old man replied: "Well, lad, it was 1932, the depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last shilling. I invested that shilling in an apple. I spent a few minutes polishing that apple and sold the apple for a shilling and six pence. The next morning, I invested that shilling in another apple, and after carefully polishing it, also sold it for a shilling and six pence. I continued this system for a month and by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of 14 shillings. Then my wife's father died and left us two million pounds." 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 SHOPPING PHILIP CARROL ANTIQUES MEMBER OF THE BRITISH ANTIQUES DEALERS ASSOCIATION Forge Cottage, High Street, Gargrave We are leading specialists in the area of antique ceramic, advising clients locally, nationally and internationally. • Free identification and valuation service provided. • Insurance and probate carried out. • Advise on dispersal of items surplus to requirements.

EDITED BY WILLIAM BROWN, B.A., Member of the Council of the Yorkshire Archaological and Topographical Association. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1892. : l&L^O ^3 WORKSOP ROBERT WHITE, PRINTER. INTRODUCTION. AMONGST the documents at the Public Record Office, to which the local historian directs his earliest attention, those known under the title of Inquisitiones post mortem occupy the foremost place. To the topographer and the genealogist they are equally valuable. There is hardly a family of any importance between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries whose genealogy may not be confirmed and enlarged by a reference to these most interesting documents. Parochial and local history are also indebted to them for a mass of information unequalled elsewhere. These inquisitions are termed Chancery Inquisitions, because the writ directing them generally issued out of the Court of Chancery. They extend in an almost unbroken series over nearly four and a half centuries, commencing early in the reign of Henry III., and only terminating with the Civil Wars in the seventeenth century, when the feudal system finally broke down, to be abolished by law at the Restoration.
