MIDDLESEX COUNTY RECORD SOCIETY. HE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX possesses a Collection of OLD RECORDS relating to its civil and criminal history, which, commencing in the year 1549 (the third of Edward VI.), and continuing to the present time, covers with more or less completeness a period of 335 years. M Only in Essex and the North Riding of Yorkshire do the * records date from so early a period as in Middlesex ; while, as the Metropolitan County, Middlesex may fairly claim for her Muniments that they surpass in interest, as they probably do in extent, and cer- tainly (with the two above-named exceptions) in range of time, those of any other County in England. It is now universally recognized that no real history of any district can be written until its Original Records have been thoroughly ran- sacked for the varied and minute information they contain ; informa- tion which, trifling and indifferent as much of it may at first sight appear, becomes often extremely valuable from the light which it throws upon events of far-reaching importance ; and there can be no doubt that had the Middlesex Records been accessible to the historical student they would long ago have received the attention they deserve, and much matter would have been brought to light, interesting and valuable not only to the Local but also to the National Historian. Until recently, however, such has never been the case. Here, as elsewhere, the value of the Memorials of the Past has been unrecog- nized, and the documents have been left in a condition which not only rendered examination impossible, but seriously endangered their existence. Within the last few years, however, the old County Records (including in that category all up to the close of the reign of George III.) have been placed in a newly-constructed Muniment Room at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, and have been arranged, labelled, and indexed by order of the Court of Quarter Sessions. This important work has been carried out, at a cost to the County of more than a thousand pounds, under the advice and supervision of Mr. CORDY JEAFFRESON, who w.^s in the first instance deputed by the Historical MSS. Commissioners to examine and report upon the Ill Records, and they are now for the first time made practically available for investigation and use. The MIDDLESEX COUNTY RECORD SOCIETY has been formed for the purpose of taking advantage of this improved condition of things by printing such a selection from the Records as shall be thought most interesting and valuable. It would be impossible within the limits of a brief Prospectus to give a complete list of even the various classes of records, forming as they do a collection of upwards of ten thousand volumes, and nearly five thousand rolls or bundles, each of which contains numerous separate documents. They may however be briefly stated to in- clude : i. A SERIES OF SESSIONS ROLLS almost complete, except in some of the earlier years, from Edward VI. to 1820, of which Mr. JEAFFRESON remarks : " Something more should, however, be said of the contents of the Sessions Rolls, which comprise considerably more than half a million separate writings, in recognis- ances, indictments, and inquisitions post mortem. It having been the usage of the Clerks of the Middlesex Justices, from the time of Elizabeth, to put at the foot of each recognisance, a brief note of the matter to which the document referred, and of the purpose for which the obligation was created, the recognisances of the Middlesex Sessional Archives afford a larger measure of entertainment and historical information than one would expect to gather from writings of their class. A con- siderable minority of these footnotes yield some interesting particulars of the social manners, domestic interests, political ferments, and religious agitations of Londoners in olden time. In the fewest possible words they tell the story of a playhouse riot, a destructive fire, the arrest of a Jesuit, a daring burglary at Whitehall, the great plate robbery of the year, or an outbreak of the London apprentices. They exhibit by turns the humour of the Court and the humour of the tavern, the pomp of a noble's palace and the cheer of a modest home, the tricks of the professional cardsharper and the cunning ways of tradesmen. And these notes are the more deserving of attention because they often refer to matters that, either from being dealt with summarily, or from being dropped for want of sufficient evidence, do not re-appear with greater preciseness and amplitude in the indictments of the subsequent bundles. From some of the memoranda curious particulars may be gleaned respecting robberies committed in the dwellings of persons stricken by the Great Plague, and the dread of incendiaries and makers of explosive compounds that seized the Londoners immediately after the Great Fire of Charles the Second's time ; respecting the temper and excesses of the Sacheverell rioters ; and respecting the demeanour of the London Jacobites, temp. Anne and George I. Some of the indictments are especially worthy of examination. A careful manipulator of these sources of evidence could extort a large addition to the materials for England's religious history, from the records of the presentments of Catholic recusants in the earlier decades, and the prosecutions of the Protestant Dissenters in the later decades of the seventeenth century. From the indictments for seditious libels he would also recover to English literature the heart and life of many a curious tract that perished in the Stuart period, in flames kindled by the common hangman." 2. SESSIONS BOOKS, commencing 1639, containing records of sentences passed upon prisoners ; orders relating to the various parishes IV of the County ; addresses to the Sovereigns, &c., &c., forming a series of 1775 volumes from which much information of value can be gleaned. 3. PROCESS BOOKS OF INDICTMENTS, from 1610 to 1775, contain- ing many interesting entries, including the names of persons fined for not taking the Sacrament. 4. OATH ROLLS, 1660 to 1820, containing Oaths of Allegiance, Supremacy, and Abjuration; Declarations against Transubstantiation ; Associations in the reign of William III. ; Clergy Oath Rolls ; Entries of the Meeting Places of Dissenters ; &c., &c. 5. REGISTERS OF THE ESTATES OF PAPISTS, 1675 to J 764. 6. JUSTICES' CERTIFICATES OF CONVICTIONS AND APPEALS FOR HOLDING CONVENTICLES, 1664 to 1687. Files of Proceedings against Dissenters charged with being present at Religious Exercises other than those appointed by the Church of England, " constituting a body of evidences of the highest interest and importance to the historian ot Anglican Nonconformity in London." 7. SACRAMENTAL CERTIFICATES. Many thousands of certificates from 1671 to 1825, containing the names and autographs of very many eminent Englishmen, and of Clergy of the London Parishes. 8. JUSTICES' CERTIFICATES OF NON-JURORS, RECUSANTS, &c., from 1673, giving the names, professions, trades, places of abode, &c., of those who were summoned and appeared, or failed to appear, of those who subscribed the Rolls or refused to do so, &c. 9. HEARTH AND STOVE TAX ACCOUNTS, 1664, a complete set, "of great importance to the genealogist." 10. LIST OF FREEHOLDERS liable to serve on Juries in the various parishes and places of the County, in fifteen folio volumes, continuous from 1696 to 1789; COMMISSIONS OF THE PEACE, &c., 1687 to 1785; REGISTER OF THE ESTATES OF JUSTICES, 1746 to 1820; &c., &c. ii. ORDERS OF COUNCIL CONCERNING THE PLAGUE, 1661 to 1666. This Book also contains Lists of Recusants, Persons fined for " prophane language," cursing and swearing, &c. 12. ORDERS OF COURT MADE AT QUARTER SESSIONS FROM 1716. A series full of interesting information of the proceedings of the Justices touching the government of the County in its various depart- ments. 13. LAND TAX ACCOUNTS. A series extending from 1767 to 1833. Most useful in pedigree inquiries. 14. MISCELLANEA. Lists of Alehouses at various periods, the earliest being 1552 ; Lists of Butchers' Recognisances against selling meat in Lent, 1631 ; Books and Contracts relating to County Works, e.g., Bridges, Prisons, the New Sessions House, Clerkenwell, the Pav- ing of the Haymarket, Maintenance of the Streets, &c., &c., from George I. ; Books relating to the Militia, 1757 to 1816 ; and many others. The whole forming (in Mr. Jeaffreson's words) " A body of Muni- ments which would enable a zealous and competent antiquary to produce an adequate history of the County, from Elizabeth to Victoria." The completeness and rapidity with which the object for which the MIDDLESEX COUNTY RECORD SOCIETY is formed can be carried out must of course depend on the number of subscribers and the amount of their contributions. It is hoped that a sufficient number of Subscribers will be secured to allow the production of one or two volumes yearly, and that the whole may be finished in five years. Each volume will be complete in itself, as far as possible, and will be fully indexed. The rate of an ordinary Single Subscription is fixed at One Guinea annually, payable on the ist January in each year, and entitling the subscriber to the publications of that year ; but there is every encouragement to hope that in so enlightened and wealthy a con- stituency there will be found many (some have already come forward) who will be willing to give donations of larger amount in order that the work may be as thorough as possible. The Subscription List is therefore arranged under two heads ; one of Ordinary Subscribers of One Guinea annually for five years, and another of Donors to what maybe called "The Editing Fund." Any contribution to this fund of Five Guineas and upwards will be held to include a subscription for five years, and will entitle the donor to a copy of every publication issued during that period. N.B. No volume will be supplied to any subscriber whose subscription for the year is unpaid, and no volume will be sold to any but a subscriber, except at a largely advanced price. The first Volume, containing INDICTMENTS, CORONERS' INQUESTS POST MORTEM, and RECOGNIZANCES, from 3 Edward VI. to the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was issued in May last. The second Volume is now at press. The third Volume is expected to appear in the course of the present year. All are under the Editorship of Mr. CORDY JEAFFRESON. The Honorary Treasurer, or Honorary Secretaries, will be happy to furnish any information, or to receive the Names of Donors or Sub- scribers. March, 1887. VI DONORS. ' Adams, B. H. Esq.

CONTAINING INDICTMENTS, CORONERS' INQUESTS-POST-MORTEM AND RECOGNIZANCES FROM 3 EDWARD VI. TO THE END OF THE REIGN OF QUEEN ELIZABETH EDITED BY JOHN CORDY JEAFFRESON, B.A. Oxon, and Barrister-at-Law of Lincoln's Inn. WITH AN INDEX BY A. T, WATSON, " Times " (Jan. 25, 1887). ' ' A work of considerable value for the light it throws upon a past age is the first volume of the ' Middlesex County Records, ' edited by Mr. Cordy Jeaffreson The historian of the future will thank the Middlesex County Records Society and its Editor for recovering, tabulating, and printing these old documents The work has been compiled with evident care, and in a luminous introduction Mr. Jeaffreson puts the reader in possession of a good deal of information respecting the character and methods of judicial business, while he at the same time calls attention to salient facts in the documents now collated Throughout these pages much information may be gleaned touching the manners and customs, pleasures and occu- pations of our ancestors in the sixteenth century." "MorningTPost" (June 16, 1886). " Future writers, in dealing with the history of London and Middlesex from the time of Edward VI., will derive considerable help in their work from the publications of the Middlesex County Record Society, of which the present is the first volume. .... Antiquaries, more especially those interested in the history of Middlesex, owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Cordy Jeaffreson for the able manner in which he has selected and arranged the contents of the initial volume of the Record Society, whose labours promise much interesting work in the future." " Globe " (May 28, 1886). " It was a happy inspiration under which the magistrates of Middlesex, four years ago, resolved to take steps for putting in order the judicial records of the county. . . . The first volume is now before us It gives an account of the Middlesex Sessions Rolls, and a glance at its contents is sufficient to show the value of the materials brought together." "Saturday Review" (Aug. 7, 1886). " In the handy and comfortable volume before us we have a selection of the records from the third year of Edward VI. to the forty-fifth year of Queen Elizabeth. .... This book will be a valuable handmaid to history, archaeology, and jurispru- dence. No one but a critic need read it through seriatim in one or two sittings, but it will be almost as fascinating and enticing a book of reference as the First Quarto of Dr. Johnson's Dictionary. Mr. Jeaffreson's industry deserves the heartiest commen- dation. His conscientiousness is almost appalling." "Notes and Queries" (Aug. 7, 1886). " We hail the appearance of the present volume as a sign that a most important class of documents is at length attracting the attention it deserves It is the purpose of the volume, its Editor tells us, ' to exhibit the purport and principal particulars of all the noteworthy documents contained on these files from their com- mencement in Edward's time to the close of Elizabeth's reign.' This he has done in a most successful manner. " "Athenaeum" (Sept. n, 1886). " The Editor's preface, which extends over sixty pages, is an admirable piece of work If the future volumes are compiled with the same care that has been expended on this we may hope to have within a reasonable time full knowledge of the justice business which was transacted in Elizabethan and Stuart times, in what, for many historical purposes, is the most important of English counties." " Guardian " (Jan. 19, 1887). "Mr. JeafTreson found himself in possession of 412 files containing some 30,000 documents. Of necessity a selection had to be made from these, and Mr. Jeaffreson proceeded to make it upon, as it seems to us, exceedingly sound principles A volume compiled from such materials and on such principles could scarcely fail to contain much interesting matter and many facts illustrative of the social manners of the Elizabethan period It will be seen from these extracts that Mr. Jeaffreson has kept the promise of his Preface and produced a very interesting volume. One word must be added in recognition of the excellent Index, for which we are indebted to Mr. Watson." "Tablet" (Dec. ^ 1886). "The bulk of the volume consists of extracts which contain matter of value for the historian, the antiquary, or the economist. In the preface, however, which extends to above fifty pages, the Editor has shown in a most interesting and readable form what a picture of the times the records with which he deals supply The above examples are amply sufficient to show the great value and importance of the work undertaken by the Middlesex County Record Society. If the remainder of the task be performed, as we do not doubt it will be, in the same admirable manner as this first instalment, many a missing link may be retrieved." "Illustrated London News" (March 19, 1887). "ECHOES OF THE WEEK," by G. A. S. ". . . . I cull these curious items from a most interesting work entitled ' Middle- sex County Records. ' . . . . The ' Records ' are a treasure-house, not only of the legal lore but of the manners and customs of Tudor times. Wearing apparel, weapons, nuisances, murders, sports and pastimes, hobby-horses, looking-glasses, whistles, two-pronged forks, falcons, theatres, and hundreds of other topics are treated so tersely yet so instructively as to make one long for the appearance of the second volume." VOLUME IT. MIDDLESEX COUNTY RECORDS VOLUME II. INDICTMENTS, RECOGNIZANCES, CORONERS' INQUISI- TIONS-POST-MORTEM, ORDERS AND MEMORANDA, temp. JAMES I. EDITED BY JOHN CORDY JEAFFRESON B.A. OXON., AND BARRISTER-AT-LAW OF LINCOLN'S INN WITH AN INDEX BY A. T. WATSON PUBLISHED BY THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY RECORDS SOCIETY AT THE CLERKENWELL SESSIONS HOUSE LONDON : PRINTED BY WOODFALL AND KINDER, MILFORD LANS, STRAND, W.C. EDITOR'S PREFACE. I. Books temp. James 1. Apart from the editorial introduction and the index, the Middlesex County Record Society's initial publication consists altogether of the substance or principal facts of documents, that are preserved in a long series of fragmentary sessions-rolls. Re- sembling it in containing matters taken from the remains of a large body of sessions-files, the present volume differs from that earlier publication in containing data viz., sessional orders, minutes of criminal cases, memoranda and other entries of record drawn from the nine oldest volumes of the large assemblage of books, which form so large a part of the Middlesex Manuscripts. These nine volumes are ( i ) three folios of the Gaol Delivery Register, that was begun on the i Qth of January in James the First's 5th year, (2) four folios of the Sessions of Peace Register, that was begun on the i8th of the same month and year, and (3) two folios called Process Books of Indictments, the earlier of which was begun in the April of James's 8th regnal year. Though the earliest folios of the Gaol Delivery Register and Sessions of Peace Register exhibit neither on their vellum covers nor on their fly-leaves any note of evidence, that they were the first volumes of their respective kinds kept by the Clerk of the Peace for the county of Middlesex, there is ground for a confident opinion, that the two Registers opened with the two volumes, which received their first entries in the same month and almost on the same day of James's reign. Whilst the memoranda of the Elizabethan parchments make no reference to contemporary books of registration, it is in the highest degree improbable that, had the Jacoban volumes been preceded by earlier folios, the two books immediately preceding the two series of extant folios would have been posted up to their last leaves in the same week. It may therefore be assumed without misgiving, that the earliest remaining folios were the first folios of the two several Registers. II. The Gaol Delivery Register. From the January of James the First's 5th year to the end of his reign, it was the duty of the Clerk of xvi EDITOR'S PREFACE. the Peace for Middlesex, or one of his subordinate officers, some- times styled "the Clerk of Gaol Deliveries," to place in the Gaol Delivery Register a brief note of every important transaction of the last Gaol Delivery, using the minutes put upon the indictments and recognizances of the same session's file, and also the matters exhibited in the original writing of those documents, as materials for what may be called the concise official narrative of the acts and proceedings, touching Middlesex, of the most recent Old Bailey Session. In the performance of this inter-sessional work the Clerk of Gaol Deliveries showed himself an expert in stripping facts of legal verbiage. It was seldom that he gave more than two lines to the case of a culprit, arraigned on a single capital indictment. In one line he set forth the culprit's name and offence, saying nothing of the crime and its doer over and above the bald facts, that might in coming time be useful to any clerk, who should be ordered to hunt out the original record of the matter, viz., the annotated indictment that alone could be pro- duced in evidence that the culprit had been acquitted, or after con- viction had been branded or sent to Tyburn. Having in this manner reduced an entire indictment to a single line, he put over it the brief memorandum of the pleadings, verdict, judgment or other "conse- quences " of arraignment, copying letter for letter the concise note figuring in contracted Latin on the indictment immediately over the first mention of the culprit's name. For examples of the way in which the Clerk of Gaol Deliveries packed into two lines the main facts of a comparatively long document, readers are referred to pp. 210 to 228 of the present volume, which exhibit numerous matters transcribed from the Gaol Delivery Register. In other sections of his summary of a session's acts and proceedings, the clerk wrote no less concisely. The lists of culprits delivered by proclamation, of culprits awaiting trial in prison, of culprits committed to the custody of mainpernors, and of persons under recognizances to appear and give evidence at the next Gaol Delivery are made out with the fewest words possible. In recording the Orders of Court, however, the scribe gives the ipsissima verba of the Justices' ordinances, and in doing so uses only such familiar contractions of the English words as are usually found in seventeenth-century letters. Of these Orders, whether they relate to the general business of the county or to the interests of particular individuals, due notice is taken in the body of the present volume. The register kept thus closely, and for the most part kept in ex- tremely contracted Latin, is not a work from which mere literary idlers would derive much entertainment. But whilst they are less diverting and on the whole less instructive than the original documents of the files, to which they are a kind of official index, the brief and EDITOR'S PREFACE. xvii closely written entries of the successive folios afford the painful student much curious information that has perished from the mutilated sessions- files, and also numerous interesting particulars that were not at any time discoverable from the filed documents. In supplementing the defective session-files these books are especially serviceable, and would in this respect be even more valuable to students of James's reign and time, had the successive Clerks of Gaol Deliveries done their appointed work with greater regularity and exactness. It is an affair for lively regret that during the last seven years of James the First the books were kept with a remissness that in certain passages of those years wanted nothing of scandalous negligence. As readers will learn from the section of this volume that deals especially with the entries of this Register, it occurred repeatedly that the negligent registrar took no notice whatever of a Gaol Delivery. But for ten years (viz., from the beginning of James's 6th year to the end of his i5th year) the register was kept with sufficient care and exactitude; and from the entries made in the folios during these years, one learns even to a unit how largely the criminal code of our ancestors was destructive of human life in one of the smallest English counties.

(b.) Number of Culprits who died by the "peine forte et dure" during the same Ten Years. Amazing as the total of the hangings, done in Middlesex during so short a term, must be to most readers of this page, it may not be regarded as a full exhibition of the mortality for which VOL. II. b xviii EDITOR'S PREFACE. the penal code of our forefathers was directly accountable in the years under consideration. For that full exhibition, the number of the persons pressed to death by the peine forte et dure for " standing silent " i.e., for declining to confess or plead to indictments for crimes done in Middlesex must be added to the number of the felons who died by the rope for felonies committed in the same county. What was the number of the culprits who in James's time elected to pass from this world by a death no less ignominious and far more painful than death at the gallows, in order to avoid the forfeiture of property they were desirous of transmitting to their nearest kindred ? The notion prevails that it was rare for a culprit to have the hardihood and heroism to dare and endure, for the sake of those who were especially dear to him, one of the most hideous of the numerous forms of death devised by the cruelty of human legislation. The entries of the Gaol Delivery Register put it beyond question that in the earlier part of the seven- teenth century it was by no means uncommon for a culprit, at the mere motion of domestic affection, to accept the hideous doom of the " forte et dure," when by a single word of confession he would have been entitled to the quicker, less cruel, and less repulsive fate of death by strangulation. It appears also from the same entries that this noble fortitude was not confined to culprits of the sterner sex. To the honour of the gentler sex, it is to be recorded that in the ten years under consideration several women went to the " peine forte et dure " at their own election, accepting, for love of others, an excess of torture which they would have avoided had they been chiefly actuated by care for themselves. From the Register it appears that In 6 James I. 6 persons died by the " peine forte et dure." 7 James I. 3 persons 8 James I. 6 persons 9 James I. 2 persons ,, ,, 10 James I. i person 1 1 James I. 3 persons 12 James I. 5 persons 13 James I. 2 persons 14 James I. i person 15 James I. 3 persons 10)32 Total of persons to die by " the peine " in ten years. 3'2 Yearly average of persons who died under the " forte et dure." Of the thirty-two persons who were thus pressed to death by heavy EDITOR'S PREFACE. xix weights in ten years for declining to confess or plead to indictments for crime done in Middlesex, three were women. Remembering how rare it was in the seventeenth century for a woman, moving in the classes most disposed by circumstances to crime, to be possessed of any considerable property, the judicious reader will feel no surprise that of the thirty-two no more than three were women. Had women been more generally in possession of property, that could be a matter of serious concern to their survivors, the women brave enough to die by the " forte et dure " would doubtless have been more numerous. In the article on the peine forte et dure, in Giles Jacob's " New Law Dictionary " (ed. 1772), it is said : " Before judgment passes of pain fort et dure, the Court orders a taste to be given to the criminal of the pain to be endured if he will not comply ; and the Court will not proceed to this judgment before all methods are used to persuade him to plead. This is the constant practice at Newgate Sessions." In other words, it was the constant practice at Newgate Sessions for the Court to torture silent culprits by throwing them on the ground and pressing them with heavy weights, in order to extort from them confessions of guilt or pleadings of innocence, that would result in forfeiture. This foretaste of the dreadful pain, be it observed, was given before judgment, i.e., before an irrevocable sentence to the " peine forte et dure." After sentence for stubborn taciturnity, the culprit had lost his power of avoiding death under heavy weights by an utterance that would have given his body to the gallows and his property to the Crown. Though there is evidence that the constant practice so quaintly described in Jacob's Dictionary was a part of our penal method in a later period of the seventeenth century, the criminal records of Middlesex afford no evidence, nor any ground for suspicion, that torture was thus applied in James the First's time to mute culprits, for the mere purpose of forcing them to speak. It may therefore be assumed that this use of torture was no practice of the Old Bailey court-house during the period covered by the present volume. Anyhow, it is certain that the thirty- two persons, sentenced to the peine forte et dure in ten consecutive years of James's reign, died under the sentence. In the files one comes upon indictments against some of these individuals, on which the clerk wrote " mortuus ad istas quia stat' mut' antea et h'et judic' pen' fort' et dure " = dead to these because he stood mute to a former indictment and had judgment of the peine forte et dure, or " mortuus in pen' fort' et dur' " = dead in the peine forte et dure. Respecting the sentenced culprits who are not noticed in this manner on subsequent indictments nothing is said, either on the parchments of the files or in the pages of the Register, after the one brief record of judgment to " the peine." It follows, therefore, that the perfect account of the b 2 xx EDITOR'S PREFACE. persons put to death by the rope for felonies done in Middlesex, or by " the peine " for stubborn silence at the Old Bailey, stands thus : 704 persons hung, 32 ,, pressed to death, 10 | 736 executed in ten consecutive years, 7 3 '6 being the yearly average of persons put to death by the two forms of execution. The reader must bear in .mind that this account takes no notice of the numbers of the persons put to death in the same two ways for felonies, or for silence to indictments for felonies, done within the bounds of the city of London. (c.) Executions for Felonies, or for Silence to Indictments for Felonies, committed in London. Though it may be computed at no more than 130,268 persons (the known number of the inhabitants in 1631), the population of James the First's London (viz., of " the city " and its ' liberties ") greatly exceeded the contemporaneous population of those parts of Middlesex, which we have long been in the habit of regarding as part of London, and appears to have considerably surpassed the entire population of what has come to be styled the metropolitan county. In James's time, whilst our wealthiest merchants had their homes as well as their places of business within its limits, " the city" with the Lord Mayor for its chief magistrate numbered amongst its resident householders several of the wealthiest nobles and some of the stateliest gentry of England. The " town," in which the princes of commerce pursued gain and spent their leisure, was also the daily resort of the people of quality and pleasure who dwelt about Whitehall and West- minster Abbey. Whilst Paul's Alley was a favourite lounging-place of courtiers, Cheapside was frequented by modish people who had their homes outside the city, scarcely less than by the ratepayers of city parishes. Under these circumstances, the felonies committed in the populous capital must have greatly outnumbered the felonies committed in the adjacent county, where goldsmiths' shops and merchants' ware- houses were less plentiful, and burglars and cutpurses had fewer oppor- tunities for preying on society. In arguing inferentially, it is, however, best to avoid a suspicion of overstating the case. Let it therefore be assumed that in James the First's time, when Marylebone was wood or grass land and Paddington was peopled chiefly by farmers and farm- labourers, that the felonies done in London only equalled in number the felonies done in Middlesex, and that the persons who perished at Tyburn or under "the peine" for crimes perpetrated in London were neither more nor less numerous than the persons who perished in the EDITOR'S PREFACE. xxi same two ways under indictments for felonies done in Middlesex. By this moderate computation it appears that the number of persons executed, during the sixth and nine following years of James the First, by the rope or "the peine," for offences committed in London or Middlesex, were 1472 in number, the yearly average of executions during the decade for the capital and the county being 147*2. (d.) Executions for Felonies, or for Silence to Indictments for Felonies, committed in London or Middlesex during the Reign of Queen Elizabeth. From this moderate view of the mortality in London and Middlesex, for which the criminal law was accountable during ten years of James the First, one may form a moderate approximate estimate of the num- ber of persons put to death for offences committed in the same capital and county during the reign of the last of the Tudors. There is no reason to think that London and Middlesex were much more populous, or that their joint population comprised a larger criminal element in the time of our first Stuart sovereign than in the time of Elizabeth. The successive enactments and ordinances for restraining the growth of London and its suburbs, no doubt, indicate a buoyancy of population, and a tendency in the capital and its suburbs to encroach upon the adjacent country. On the other hand, the vigilance and energy with which the authorities enforced the various laws against persons guilty of building new houses, or subdividing ancient tenements, or entertain- ing inmates without licence to do so, justify a confident opinion that, though not altogether successful, the stringent measures for preventing the growth of the metropolis were in the main effectual, and that, though it somewhat increased, the population of the capital and the county did not grow rapidly. Still, the slow growth of the population during the two successive reigns may be supposed to have been at- tended with a slight increase in the number of capital offences com- mitted in the capital city and the contiguous shire. B'v it does not follow that the slight growth in the number of crimes and criminals resulted in a proportionate increase of the number of persons executed for felonies. An examination of the statistical summaries at the close of the present volume will satisfy most readers that the criminal law was less rigorously administered under James than it had been in the days of Elizabeth. In so far as it was likely to affect the criminal death- rate, the slight growth of crime and of the number of persons who committed crime was more than counterbalanced in James's reign by the greater disposition of juries to convict culprits of petty larceny on clear evidence that they were guilty of capital felony, and by doing so to allow them to escape the gallows, albeit with shoulders scored by a whip of tails. The Middlesex records afford no grounds for thinking that the yearly average of executions by the rope and " the peine " was xxii EDITOR'S PREFACE. greater in James's reign than in Queen Elizabeth's time. Still, to guard against the suspicion of overstatement, let us multiply the Jacoban yearly average (147-2) by 44, taking no account of the hangings and executions by "the peine" that occurred in the four months and a fortnight of Elizabeth's 45th year. By this moderate calculation it appears that during the Queen's reign the criminal law put to death 6,476 persons for offences committed in London or Middlesex. To be yet more secure of erring on the side of under-statement, let us deduct 400 from this staggering total, and be content to say no more than that in Elizabeth's time upwards of six thousand of the inhabitants of London and Middlesex were hung or pressed to death by heavy weights for the good of society. To reflect that in a single reign six thousand of the inhabitants of a single city (with a population of some 130,000 souls), and of a single county (holding no bigger town than " Old Westminster " within its limits), went to the next world through the hempen noose, or the Newgate dungeon in which they were slowly squeezed to death, to look upon a map of England, and, observing how small a part of it is covered by London and Mid- dlesex, to remember that between Mary Tudor's death and James's accession, so strong an army of wretches passed thus miserably from so small a patch of " merry England," is to regard the spacious times of great Elizabeth from a gloomy, and even appalling, point of view. To realize fully the significance of this penal death-rate, readers should calculate how many of the 4,000,000 inhabitants of what is termed modern London would be yearly killed by judicial sentences, if we hung and pressed people to death at the Jacoban rate. It is a ghastly thought that, had we to this hour persisted in killing criminals at the Jacoban rate, we should in each of the latest years of her present Majesty's reign have hung or pressed to death about 2,263 f the inhabitants of the metropolis. III. The Sessions of Peace Register, temp. James I. What the Gaol Delivery Register is to the acts and proceedings of successive gaol- deliveries, and to the indictments and recognizances of the successive gaol-delivery files, the Sessions of Peace Register is to the acts and proceedings of the successive sessions of the peace, and to the docu- ments of the Sessions of Peace rolls. Like the Gaol Delivery Register, it also preserves a considerable number of Orders made by the Justices of the Peace for the conduct of the affairs of the county. (a.) Orders and Memoranda touching Hickes^s Hall. James the First's time was an eventful period for the Justices of Middlesex ; and of its memorable incidents none was more conducive to the comfort and dignity of the magistrates than the erection of the court-house that was known to successive generations by the name of the wealthy EDITORS PREFACE. XX111 London merchant, who built it wholly at his own charges and then made a free gift of it to the county. From times considerably anterior to the long period covered by the Middlesex County Record Society's initial volume to the roth year of James the First, the Middlesex Magistrates had no statelier Justice Hall for the holding of their ordinary sessions of the peace than the chief room of the Castle Tavern, standing in the Constabulary of St. John's Street. It was in this tavern parlour that the magistrates dispensed justice to petty misdemeanants, and received from grand-juries the greater part of the True Bills on which culprits were arraigned at the Old Bailey for offences committed in Middlesex. In this room, "at the Signe of the Castle " (vide p. 81 of the present volume), it was that Ben Jonson and a long series of offenders, from Dorothy White to Thomas Garnett, stood before the grand-jurors who found against them the bills which were in due course transmitted to the Old Bailey. But in James's loth regnal year, the Middlesex magistrates ceased to meet under the sign of The Castle. The last Session of the Peace to be held under the ancient sign was held in the August of that year (vide p. 82), and on the i2th of the following January the Justices of the metropolitan shire met for the first time in the new court-house, one of the notable orders made at the session, with the unanimous assent and approval of the twenty-two then and there assembled magistrates, being that the house " built by Sir Baptist Hickes, and given to the Justices of the Countie of Middlesex for a Session House should for ever hereafter be called by the name of Hickes Hall, and that all inquisitions and other offices that shold be there taken for the said countie sholde be from henceforthe entered of Record as taken apud Hickes Hall in St. John Street in the county of Middlesex," an order, that was observed to a time so recent that it may fairly be spoken of as yesterday, when Sir Baptist's hall was replaced by a statelier and more commodious building. But while his public spirit was fitly acknowledged by his brethren of the Middlesex bench and other persons of worshipful quality, Sir Baptist Hickes was not so fortunate as to escape altogether the obloquy that persons of ignoble natures delight in pouring on the most estimable public characters. By the same court, that rendered Sir Baptist so appropriate a compli- ment, in reward of his munificence to the metropolitan shire, it was ordered (vide p. 84) that Grace Watson, wife of Peter Watson, of St. John's Street, apothecary, should appear before the bench, to answer " for givinge revylinge speeches against Sir Baptist Hickes, touchinge the buildinge of the Sessions House." It does not appear from the book of record, whether she resented the erection of the new hall, as a thing that interfered with her ancient lights, and threw gloom over her xxiv EDITOR'S PREFACE. back-yard, or afforded her some other reasonable ground for discontent and bitter emotion. Nor does it appear from the brief note of the register, what punishment was awarded to Grace Watson for her con- tumelious utterances respecting Sir Baptist, " and alsoe for her unruly behaviour in the open court," when she appeared before the Justices in obedience to their worships' order. (b.) Orders and Memoranda touching the Middlesex House of Cor- rection. Several matters, besides the growing indisposition of juries to send thieves to the gallows for their first essays in grand larceny, concur to show that society in Middlesex was less harshly disposed to ordinary criminals in the days of James than it had been during the previous reign, and even made distinct steps towards the state of feeling which rendered it possible for the philanthropists of a much later time to procure for criminals a treatment not wholly discordant with justice and benevolence. A step was made towards this better condition of social sentiment, when ceasing to bore the vagrant with a hot iron through the right ear, the law decided to apply the branding- iron to the culprit's shoulder, where the perpetual stigma would not be apparent to every one who scrutinized him in the public ways. A longer and firmer step was taken in the same right direction by the people of Middlesex, when they determined to build a house of cor- rection, in which vagrants and other misdemeanants, for whose amendment there was a possibility, should be instructed in manual industries and trained to habits of labour, instead of being thrown back into the streets, after they had been soundly whipt for being hungry and dirty and having nothing to do. One of the most note- worthy orders to be found in the Sessions of Peace Register directed, under date of 2ist October, 12 James I. (vide pp. 103, 104), that two thousand pounds should be levied by rate from the whole county of Middlesex, to defray the costs of building and establishing the house of discipline, so urgently needed for the better dealing with rogues, and other disorderly persons who would pass to the hangman, unless measures were taken to withdraw them from roads leading to Tyburn. This order is the more deserving of attention because it gives the precise amounts of money to be contributed towards the ^2,000 by the several parishes or constabularies of the county, the parishes and other districts being grouped together under the names of the different hundreds to which they respectively belonged. a body of details that will be of service to the antiquary, desirous of producing a map of old Middlesex divided into its hundreds, and of estimating the respective populousness and affluence of the Middlesex parishes in the earlier years of the seventeenth century. It is almost needless to say, that the order to raise so large a sum EDITOR'S PREFACE. xxv as ^2,000 from the county for the more reasonable and effectual treatment of its rogues and vagabonds, who had hitherto appeared to the ordinary observer to cost the Middlesex ratepayers little more than the money spent on whips for their backs, branding-irons for their shoulders, and rope wherewith to hang the worst of them, was no order to be accepted and obeyed by the county without a murmur at new- fangled notions and fanciful projects. But the Justices knew how to stifle opposition to their will, and reduce the malcontents to silence. When Michael Shorditche of Ickenham, gentleman, had the rashness and insolence to aver that " the countye would withstand the rate " (vide, pp. 105, 106), he was promptly brought before Their Worships at Hickes Hall to answer for such " unfitt and mutynous " language, and on his appearance was bound for his future good behaviour in the sum of one hundred pounds. It may be assumed that henceforth Mr. Shorditche was silent about the rate, which he could not abuse roundly and to his heart's content, without forfeiting so large a sum. Though the rate was not raised readily in some of the parishes, the reformatory prison was built in something less than the twelve months next following the date of the order for levying the two thousand pounds; and on 5th October, 13 James I., the first orders (vide pp. 117, 118) for the government of the new house were put on paper. It was provided that a discreet woman should be appointed to govern the female prisoners, and that the same prisoners should be kept in seven rooms especially assigned to them, apart from prisoners of the other sex. Further, it was ordered that the governor of the prison should appoint a discreet and honest person to read " divine service and prayers " to the people under correction " once everie daye at the least .... and twice everie Sabboth-daye." On the nth of January in the same year (vide p. 120) it was ordered "that everie person committed thither shalbe sett to labour and have no other nurture, then that he or she shall get with their labour, except they be sicke." Rising at 6 A.M., and going to rest at 7 P.M., winter and summer, the prisoners were made to work between those hours hardly and incessantly, with the exception of the times allotted to prayers, meals and midday recreation. "A bell," says one of these January orders, " shalbe tolled everie morninge at sixe, everie noone at xi and again at xii, and everie eveninge at vii." Sleeping on straw, that was renewed every month, the rogues under correction had warm pottage thrice a week, viz., on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday ; it being further provided that "their lynnen (if any they have)" should be washed from time to time. How often it was to be washed is not stated. Eight other orders for the better government of the doleful place were issued- by the visiting Justices on i May, 15 James I. (vide xxvi EDITOR'S PREFACE. p. 130), one of them running in the following words : " Item, for that oftentymes servants, apprentices and other unruly and disordered persons be sent thither to receave correccion for the better humbling of them to their dutyes rather then to make them worse or desparate in the course of their life, it is thought requisite that such persons, sent in to such purpose at the request or complainte of such as intend their reformacion, be not lodged or dietted amongst the rest of the roagues (except it be specially commaunded), but rather apart and by them- selves, yett so as they may finde themselves in a House of Correccion, by houlding them to labour and using them to labour hardly as the qualitie of their offence requireth." Whence it appears that, within three-and-a-half years of the establishment of the new reformatory school, servants, apprentices and other unruly and disordered persons, not under sentence of law, were committed to it for severe and possibly wholesome discipline. Who were the " other unruly and disordered persons," who were neither the servants nor the apprentices of the persons committing them for correction to so stern a school of manners ? A fair inference is that they were the more or less trouble- some children of the people who sent them to a common gaol for better nurture. IV. The two Process Books of Indictments, temp. James I. Divided into sections, each of which is headed with " Ad Generalem Sessionem Pacis tentam apud &c.," or "Ad Sessionem Pacis tentam apud &c.," followed by the date of the session, these two books may be described as the supplementary Sessions of Peace Register, in which the Clerk of the Peace entered the names and offences of the persons against whom he was directed at the successive sessions to proceed by indict ment. Most of the offenders, whose names were thus entered in these books, were charged with nothing worse than common assaults, neglecting to keep watch, failing to assist in the repair of highways, and forbearing to attend church. Two-thirds of the entries relate to matters of no historical moment ; but both volumes (especially the frayed, detached and tattered leaves of the fragmentary second volume) have been of great service to the present editor, in enabling him to recover the names of recusants who were indicted by bills no longer in existence for "not coming to church," and thereby to perfect the list of recusants so proceeded against from the beginning of James the First's eighth year to the end of his reign. V. Sessions Rolls temp. James I. From a comparison of the most substantial and least injured of the Elizabethan files with those of the Jacoban files, that without being absolutely perfect have lost no con- siderable number of their original documents, it becomes manifest that before either of the two bodies of rolls suffered from decay, the files EDITOR'S PREFACE. xxvii of the later reign were stouter and heavier than the files of the earlier period. It does not, however, seem that the greater bulkiness of the Jacoban files was due to any noteworthy increase in the number of the indictments. On the contrary, the greater stoutness and weight of the files put together in James's reign appear to have been occasioned by a steady increase in the number of the recognizances, the larger dimensions of the bills, and the much greater thickness of the parchment used in the Clerk of the Peace's office. From these three causes the files became so inconveniently big and cumbrous in James's earlier time, and also in the closing years of Elizabeth, that the Clerk of the Peace thought it well to omit from the sessional bundles the writings for whose preservation there was no manifest need. Hence certain kinds of documents, that contributed in no slight degree to the interest of the Middlesex County Record Society's former book, do not appear in the files from which the present volume has been mainly compiled. For instance, though prisoners of course continued to die in Newgate of gaol fever, the sessions rolls of James's time are silent about the deaths from " the pining sickness." In like manner, though the gallants and roisterers of the urban districts of Middlesex continued to fight duels with rapier and dagger, the files yield few coroners' inquisitions touching the circumstances of the frays. Indeed, it is seldom that the searcher of the Jacoban rolls comes upon the bill of a coroner's inquest for cause of death, that was not used as a bill of indictment in the Old Bailey court-house. In literary style and texture, the documents of the Jacoban files closely resemble the documents of the Elizabethan rolls. Nor is there any noteworthy difference in the penmanship of the two sets of records, although the clerks of the later period wrote somewhat more largely and less artistically than the scribes of the earlier time. It is more worthy of remark that the Jacoban clerks surpassed their Elizabethan scribes in the ingenious art of scriptural contraction. Where a clerk of the earlier time wrote " nul " or " rec," the Jacoban penman wrote "nl" or "r'." But the most remarkable example of this stronger disposition of the later scribes to write long sentences with the smallest possible number of words, and to spell the words with the fewest possible letters, occurs in the memorandum, (a.) Cog ind pe It le ere. It is doubtless in the memory of most readers of the Middlesex County Record Society's former volume that the Elizabethan clerk, who put on Ben Jonson's indictment for the manslaughter of Gabriel Spencer a note of the poet's confession, pleading for clergy, clerical capability, and subsequent branding, wrote at the bill's head, " Cogn' Indictament petit librum legit ut Cl'icus sign' cum Ira T et del' juxta formam statut' &c." In the following reign the xxviii EDITOR S PREFACE. clerk of gaol-deliveries, plying his pen in the service of the Middlesex Justices, boiled and peeled this not extravagantly verbose record down to " Cog ind pe li le ere " C^noscit /Wictamentum, petit //brum, /. 93), from Whitehall Palace xliv EDITOR'S PREFACE. in the night of i March, u James I. (vide pp. 95, 96) to the impoverish- ment of " Lewis Duke of Lenax," and from the Earl of Arundel's town- house on 15 September, 12 James I. (vide p. 101), in St. Clement's Danes', are three burglaries of which the particulars should be noted by re.K.e.s of this preface. The burglars who carried off Lord Digby's silver plates, dishes, flagons, salts and bowls from his dwelling-house in St. Martin's-in-the-Fields in the night of 2 April, 17 James L, at the same time took away feloniously (vide p. 145) his lordship's " sex furcas argenteas anglice sixe silver forks " worth thirty shillings ; forks, whose price makes it manifest they were not the light playthings with which people had long been accustomed to pick sweet-meats out of syrup, but such table-forks as Tom Coryate had a few years earlier introduced from Italy to the dinner-tables of " the great," such forks as in a later period of the seventeenth century young Sam Pepys and the other modish gentlemen of Restoration London used to carry with them in their pockets to the tables at which they feasted. The " thirteene apostle silver spoones " (vide pp. 173, 174), stolen with much other plate from the Earl Darbie's house in Westminster, in the night of 15 Janu- ary, 20 James I., were worth forty shillings, whilst " twelve plaine silver spoones " were appraised at so small a sum as ten shillings. The value of the plate, jewels, rich clothing and other costly chattels taken by burglars in the night of 30 August, 19 James L, from Sir Thomas Merry's house (vide p. 162), exceeded ^757 of Jacoban money, or some four thousand pounds of Victorian gold. Though the value of the moneys and chattels of which she was despoiled in Holborn on 18 July, 22 James I. (vide pp. 181, 182) was trifling in comparison with the value of the things taken from Sir Thomas Merry, no lady of her period seems to have lost more from a single raid on her valuables, than Venetia Stande- ley lost when she was stript of her " head-bracelett of gould enambled sett with twenty-three sparkes of diamondes worth eighty pounds," her precious ear-jewels, multifarious other articles of personal adornment, and one hundred-and-fifty pounds in numbered moneys.

The reader of this record must bear in mind that it is drawn from first to last in Latin, with the exception of the words setting forth the several offences in respect to which the culprits were called to account ; and that each memorandum over the name of a rioter is in contracted and unpunctuated Latin. Thus the memorandum over (i) Henry Baldwin's name is, in the record, "po se non Cul nee r"'=he puts himself Not Guilty and did not retract ; and that the memorandum over (2) John Grymes's name is "po se Cul rep r in ferris pro uno anno fin' vi If. xiiu. \\\\d. et inde inven bon' M p' bono gestu " ; The exact translation of " po se non Cul nee r' " being " he put himself Not Guilty and did not retract," whilst the English of the same note, after it has been duly extended, amplified and punctuated is " He put himself Not Guilty on a jury of the country, and the jury declared that he is Not Guilty and did not retract."

Kept in a slovenly fashion, the register for this year is grossly defective. For instance, it makes no mention whatever of a Session of Gaol Delivery, that was held between the S. G. D. of 29 March and the S. G. D. of 5 June ; the five pages, on which the clerk intended to post up the particulars of the missing Session, remaining blank. The clerk was no less remiss in respect to the Session of Gaol Delivery held in July (? on the 17 th of the month). The pages on which he should have put, and probably meant to put, the particulars of this Session, when he found time and disposition for the performance of his duties, remain without record of any kind. Of the ten Sessions of Gaol Delivery held for Middlesex in the course of the year, he notices no more than eight ; and his notes touching these eight are in several respects careless and insufficient. 21 JAMES I.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS' ROLLS. 239 SUMMARIES OF THE TRUE BILLS FROM 3 EDWARD VI. TO THE END OF JAMES THE FIRST'S REIGN. THE purpose of the ensuing tables is to exhibit in a convenient form and a small compass a large assemblage of facts, that cannot fail to prove serviceable and instructive to students of our social history. Though from the original imperfection of the records and the deface- ment or decay of many of the parchments they lack the completeness and numerical exactitude, that are matters of course in the statistical summaries of modern prison-registers, these tables indicate the relative prevalence of the various kinds of crime and misdemeanour, and whilst pointing to the degree in which the criminal code of our forefathers was destructive of human life will enable the reader to apprehend how far the rigour of that code was modified by benefit of clergy, and in the times of Elizabeth and James I. by the practice of convicting culprits of petty larceny, in the face of evidence that they were guilty of capital felony. The data of the tables were gathered from the True Biils in the following manner. Sitting day after day with a prepared ledger at his right hand and an open file at the command of his left hand, the editor of the present volume re-examined all the bills from the third year of Edward the Sixth to the end of James the First's time, and made a short straight mark on one or another of several prepared lines of the ledger for every person indicted by the successive bills, taking care that no culprit was marked a second time on the open page for mere indictment. When a culprit was charged with several offences, he was marked in the ledger for the gravest charge of which he was found guilty, or in case of his acquittal on all the charges he was marked for the gravest offence for which he was indicted. For instance, in deal- ing with the record of a culprit convicted or acquitted of a clergiable felony and also of an unclergiable felony, the editor numbered him amongst the persons indicted for the graver offence. Consequently, the combined numbers of the several groups of persons, stated in any one of the ensuing summaries to have been indicted for various kinds of 240 MIDDLESEX SESSIONS' ROLLS. crime and misdemeanour, are the whole and exact number of all the several individuals indicted by the bills, yielding the data exhibited in the table. After taking note of the person or persons indicted by a bill, the editor, turning his attention to the clerical memoranda of the document, made a mark in one or another of several appointed lines of his ledger, for every record of conviction, acquittal, confession of indict- ment, successful pleading of clergy, capital sentence &c. Having thus gone through the True Bills of each year, he counted up his several assemblages of marks into the totals given in the summary of the bills of the year. To guard his readers from misapprehension, it is needful for the editor to say something of the sense in which certain words are used, and of the significance of certain matters exhibited, in the ensuing summaries. (a.) Capital Felony : Used in its most comprehensive sense, i.e., of a crime punishable with death and forfeiture, " capital felony " in the following tables covers high treason as well as all other kinds of capital felony. In like manner, as hinging was a part, though the least bar- barous and repulsive part, of executions for the most heinous of all the many kinds of capital felony, persons sentenced to death for high treason have been numbered for the purpose of the tables with the other " capital felons sentenced to be hung." Principals and acces- sories have been counted together as persons indicted for capital felonies. (b.) Larceny: Standing by itself without any attendant word of qualification, " larceny " in the ensuing tables signifies " simple grand larceny," and covers all simple grand larcenies that would not fall under any of the special forms of simple great larceny of which the tables make separate mention. (c.) Larceny with Housebreaking : Under this head are counted all persons indicted for stealing from the house under circumstances that distinguished their offence from burglary. Most of these persons were charged with " breaking the house," and in a certain proportion of the bills, a memorandum of a special acquittal of the housebreaking, accompanied by a memorandum of conviction of the felonious stealing, shows that the " domum fregit " of the indictment meant more than that the thief had merely entered the dwelling from which he was said to have taken goods feloniously. (d.) Petty Larceny : Readers should take due notice of the entries (beginning in the summary of 20 Elizabeth) of the verdicts of ' Guilty of Petty Larceny' against persons indicted for grand larceny; a series of entries pointing to the way in which social sentiment modified the MIDDLESEX SESSIONS' ROLLS. 241 severity of the law, that awarded death to persons convicted of stealing to the value of twelve pence. That so many of these verdicts appear in the fragmentary files of Elizabeth's time may at least be regarded as presumptive evidence, that the merciful usage, which displays itself so much more often in her nearest successor's reign, accorded with the gentler moods of her despotic temper. Under the Tudor Queen cul- prits convicted of petty theft seem to have been usually dismissed from gaol on the payment of a small fee. At least, the notes on the indict- ments afford no evidence that it was customary to punish these offenders at the whipping-post or the cart's tail. But after the sixth year of James I., the Middlesex session-rolls reveal a steady disposition in judges to rely on the lash for the suppression of petty theft as well as for the correction of other minor offences. Of thirty-nine culprits convicted of petty larceny in James's seventh year thirteen were whipt, before being delivered on payment of the fee. In the next year, the whip was given to every person convicted of petty larceny. Of the thirty two persons convicted of petty theft in James's ninth year only five escaped whipping. In the next seven years no one, after conviction at the Old Bailey of petty theft done in Middlesex, was allowed to return to his home without flagrant weals on his shoulders. This period of uniform rigour is seen from the session-files to have been followed by a brief term of compara- tive lenity. In 17 James I., the Middlesex indictments were so care- lessly annotated by a scandalously negligent clerk of Gaol-Deliveries, that one hesitates to rely on their testimony, that of thirty-one culprits convicted of petty larceny in that year eighteen were let off without a flogging. During the remainder of James's reign, it remained the rule to whip for petty theft, though a few of the petty thieves escaped the lash. (e.) Persons indicted for Quarrelling, fomenting Discords, inciting to Breach of the Peace : Persons indicted for being common barrators (communes barrectatores) are counted under this heading with scolds and other mere disturbers of the peace. (f.) Persons convicted of Capital Felonies: No person has been counted twice into any of the numbers put in the same line with these descriptive words. In cases where a culprit was indicted for several capital felonies by the same bill or several bills, and found guilty of more than one of them, he was marked once in the ledger and no oftener. (.) Persons acquitted of Capital Felonies : With the exception of a single class of individuals (i.e., the culprits who were acquitted of grand larceny but were found guilty of petty larceny on the same indictment), no one has been counted into any one of the totals following these descriptive words unless he or she was wholly acquitted of every felony, VOL. II. R 242 MIDDLESEX SESSIONS' ROLLS. in respect to which he or she was tried for life, in the year under con- sideration. The individuals of the one excepted class have, however, been always counted amongst the persons acquitted of capital felonies, before being again counted amongst persons convicted of petty stealing on indictments for great stealing. That so large a proportion of the persons, tried for capital felonies at the Old Bailey, were acquitted will astonish the many readers, who have adopted without inquiry the pre- vailing notion that, in the comparatively hard and ruthless times of Elizabeth and James, it was rare for a culprit to put himself on trial for a capital felony and retire from the dock a free and not dishonoured man. (7z.) Capital Felons confessing Indictments : The editor was nearing the end of Elizabeth's time, in the making his statistical tables, before it occurred to him it would be well to exhibit the proportion of felons who ' confessed the indictment ' (or as we now-a-days say corruptly, ' pleaded guilty ') before pleading their clergy. But from Elizabeth's forty-third year to the end of James's reign each yearly table exhibits the proportion of the convicted felons who made confession of guilt before asking for the benefit of scholarship. Speaking from his obser- vation of the criminals of his own period, Blackstone intimates that it was very rare for a felon- to plead his clergy without having first pleaded ' Not Guilty ' and taken his chance with a jury, in order to reserve his right to plead his clergy once and no oftener, till he had no other, or at least no readier, way of escaping the gallows. That the scholarly felons of Elizabeth's and James's times were less prudent in this respect than the felons of Blackstone's period is shown by the last twenty-five of the ensuing tables. (/.) Felons pleading and ' having' Benefit of Clergy : It by no means followed that the felon who pleaded clergy obtained what he asked for. It not seldom happened that ' the book ' was refused to a petitioner, on the ground that he had received the clerical benefit on a previous occasion. It was a still more frequent occurrence for a felon to miss the benefit, because after ' the book ' was allowed to him he was unable to read it. Again, there were cases in which the delivery of the book was postponed by order of a judge, who either suspected the prisoner of having ' read his neck-verse ' on a previous occasion, or who was of opinion the petitioner should undergo another term of imprisonment before being restored with a branded thumb to society. (k.) Felons reprieved before or after Judgment \ Derived from the old French represt, otherwise spelt reprist, or through the French reprendre from the Latin reprehendere (more fully retro prehendere), the English word ' reprieved ' means ' taken back.' After conviction a capital felon MIDDLESEX SESSIONS* ROLLS. 243 might be reprieved, either before or after judgment, ex arbitrio judicis= at the judge's discretion, for various considerations, or ex necessitate legis from necessity of law, as where a woman pleaded pregnancy and on inquiry by a jury of matrons was found pregnant. In a considerable proportion of cases a reprieve was followed by an absolute or con- ditional pardon. But a reprieve was in itself nothing more than a respite of judgment or an order for the temporary suspension of the execution of the capital sentence ; and a large proportion, if not a large majority, of the capital felons, thus ordered back to prison in times of Elizabeth and James I., were in due course hung at Tyburn. When a capital felon was reprieved in this manner, it was the duty of the clerk of the Gaol Delivery to record the reprieve on the bill or bills of indictment on which the culprit had been arraigned, and this duty the clerk usually discharged by adding to his minutes of the case r 1 , or re p r ., or repris, or r. /'.=retro reprehensus, or some such other note, together with a note signifying whether the reprieve was ordered before or after judgment. Repris, it may be observed, was also put on the indictments of offenders who were convicted of offences less heinous than capital felonies, to indicate a sentence to imprisonment ; the term in such cases being precisely equivalent to ' imprisoned ' or ' sent to prison.' Thus persons indicted for exceptionally violent assaults or other serious misdemeanours, that put them in no danger of a capital sentence, are recorded on the bills of indictment as repris pro tribus mensibus, or r. p r . pro uno anno, i.e., 'taken back' or imprisoned for three or twelve months, as well as sentenced to pay a heavy fine. Now and then the clerk of gaol-deliveries even extends the familiar rep r . or repris to 'reprisonetur.' For instance, the minute of the sentence awarded to John Scrowbye (vide pp. 208-9), f r refusing to take the oath of allegiance and abjuration, concludes with " et reprisonet'. sine M durant' voluntate d'ni Regis "=and be reprisoned (=reprieved= taken back to prison) without mainpernors during the pleasure of the Lord the King. To the clerk, who penned the minute which closes in this remarkable manner, repris was not only equivalent in sense to reprisonatus, but an abbreviation of the word. (/.) Capital Felons described in the Indictments as ' late of London ' : When he began to count the persons convicted of capital felonies, who were thus described in the indictments, the editor was under the im- pression that he was gathering data for showing the degree in which London was accountable for the crimes done in Middlesex, or, in other words, for showing the degree in which the metropolitan county suffered from its nearness to so great a school of crime as the metropolis. It is, however, obvious that, at least in Elizabeth's time and during James's earlier years, it was the practice of the draughtsmen of indictments to R 2 244 MIDDLESEX SESSIONS' ROLLS. assume that all culprits, of whose proper parishes or habitual places of abode they were ignorant, had at some time or other lived in London, and might therefore be safely described as " nuper de London." Of 137 persons convicted in 7 James I. of capital felonies done in Middle- sex, no less than 115 were thus assigned to London. But four years later (n James I.), when it had become the practice of the draughts- men to describe culprits as 'late of the parishes in which they were charged with having committed crime, only four individuals of the gross number of 133 capital convicts were described as "nuper de London." It will not escape the most cursory peruser of the ensuing tables, that the combined numbers of the persons convicted of capital felonies, the persons acquitted of capital felonies, the culprits standing mute, and the capital culprits ' at large ' seldom correspond to, and often fall very far short of, the number of the persons indicted for capital crimes. That these two sets of totals are so seldom in accordance, and so often at wide disagreement, in the successive tables, is due to (a) the number of the persons over whose names the successive annotators of the bills either put an incomplete memorandum or no minute whatever, and (b) the frequent removal of memoranda from the indictments by rot or other injury to the parchments. In other respects, the numbers exhibited in the summaries are wanting in the harmony and congruence that would have characterized the numerical statements, had their data been gathered from perfect sources of information. Readers may be assured the editor has spared no pains to render the tables as full and exact as possible. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS* ROLLS. 245 (I.) SUMMARY OF THE TRUE BILLS FROM 3 EDWARD VI.

That the number of the convictions for capital felonies in this account so greatly exceeds the combined number of the felons who were sentenced to be hung, had benefit of clergy, or were reprieved, is chiefly due to the largeness of the proportion of the bills that exhibit no memor- andum of sentence. In the numerous cases where nothing more than Po se cul ca nul appears over a culprit's name, I have not thought right to assume as a matter of course that he was sentenced to be hung, as he might have been pardoned, or have escaped from or died in gaol before sentence. 246 MIDDLESEX SESSIONS' ROLLS.

Found ' Guilty,' Richard Wheeler and Walter Styles were branded with the letter R on the left shoulder. Ralph Rookes was also found ' Guilty ' ; but instead of being branded and returned to the streets he was spared the fiery touch and committed to Sheriff Johnson for transportation to Virginia ; the memorandum over his name being " Po se cul r 5 Vic' Johnson mitti ad Virg'nia"'=" He puts himself ' Not Guilty' on a jury ; is found ' Guilty ' ; is reprieved to Sheriff Johnson, to be sent to Vir- ginia." In like manner it appears from a similar memorandum on the bill of indictment preferred against Joseph Johnson for vagrancy at Clerken- well, that on being found ' Guilty ' by a jury, he was ' r Vic' Johnson mitti ad Virginia'."

D., Dec., 21 James I., he only says " po se cul' ca' nuP " = put themselves ' Not Guilty,' were found ' Guilty,' and had no chattels ; nothing being added to the incomplete memoranda to show whether they were branded, sentenced to be hung, or reprieved.

Five women, convicted of stealing to the value of nine shillings, were burnt in the hand, and delivered after having been so branded, in accordance with the recent statute, which accorded to women the benefit of their sex in respect to larcenies not exceeding the value of ten shillings. In connection with this concession to the sex that might not plead benefit of clergy, it may be here remarked that the G. D. R. of 9 Feb., 9 James 1., preserves the curious bill of indictment for grand larceny, " Becon Neale nuper de London spinster? over whose name appears this clerical memorandum, " pe' li' non le' sus' = petit librum, non legit, suspendatur she asks for the book ; does not read it ; be hung." The clerk was doubtless nodding when he thus put it on record that a woman pleaded her clergy, was allowed the book, and was sentenced to be hung because she failed to read it. Number of Persons.
