By Rev. R. Jowett Burton, B.A., 



Curate of Dale Abbey. 



HE Society is indebted to the courtesy of Mrs. F. J. 

 Robinson for allowing the publication of this interest- 

 ing addition to the knowledge of the part Derbyshire 

 has taken in national affairs. 

 We may infer from the Roll that Derbyshire, in common 

 with other counties, strongly objected to the illegality of the 

 course taken by Charles I. in raising a levy (under the less 

 offensive name of " loan ") without the consent of Parliament. 

 The cause for this inference will be found in the appended 

 notes. 



The Roll consists of five strips of parchment bound together 

 at the bottom-the width is 7^ in. and the length of the strips 

 respectively 24^ in., 23^ in., 23I in., 26^ in., and 18^ in. On 

 the back of the first strip are the words :— 



"Ayd to his Mas 2" Car P 

 —Collected by Robt Wyllimott 

 of Cheddesden Gent."
