they were attacked by King Geoige’s army. On Sunday the 
18th the force under General Carpenter, which had marched 
down Ribblesdale, joined in the attack on James’s followers, and 
on the 14th the army of the Pretender surrendered. ‘his was 
the end of the rebellion known as the °15. Some of the entries 
in the Chaplain’s book at this period are very pathetic and sug- 
gestive. Masses were celebrated as under :— 
November 8, 4, & 12, Rege nostro Jacobo ILI. 
18 & 14, Militibus. 
4 17, Patientia et resignatione. 
rf 18, Resignatione.

on 23, Conversione Anglie. 
a 30, (S. Andrew's day) Scotia. 
Richard Towneley was one of those taken prisoner at 
Preston. He was put on his trial, but by exceptional good 
fortune was acquitted. 
For his services as Chaplain, the Priest appears from this 
Memorandum book to have received a salary of £10 per annum. 
Out of this sum he had to pay for food for his horse. This was 
the usual salary of a chaplain in the seventeenth century. In 
addition the chaplain always had his board and a humble bed- 
room (Macaulay’s History, vol. I.) The stipend of the Towneley 
priest was not very regularly paid. The paymaster was Mr. 
Orum—probably the Steward—who, however. in Charles Towne- 
ley’s time, never made the payment until directly ordered to 
do so by the head of the house. The stipend was due in April 
each year. That month was never allowed to pass without mass 
being said for Mr. Orum. 
On the 26th of May, 1709, this entry is made in the Mem- 
orandum Book :—‘‘ Received of Madme: Towneley four pound, 
due for the two years past upon account Mr. Charles stopped 40 
shillings per annum for 2 years.” 
‘‘ How far that little candle throws his beams! 
‘‘ So shines a good deed in a naughty world.”’
