the laity in the city of Bath and the suburbs of the same ; 

 one half being payable at the Feast of the Holy Trinity and 

 the other half at the Feast of All Saints next following. 

 The amount received for the first half and duly paid into the 

 Exchequer, was £6 13s. 4d., the receipt stating that the particu- 

 lars relating to the same were " contained in a certain schedule 

 deposited in the Treasury."* In 1416, 4 Henry V., John Huett 

 and Richard Honybrugge were collectors of two-tenths granted 

 by Parliament at Westminster, payable one whole tenth and half- 

 a-tenth at the Feast of the Purification, the other half-tenth at 

 the Feast St. Martin next following. The receipt accounts for 

 £26 13s. 4d. for the whole two-tenths. f To these receipts are 

 usually added the names of a Baron of the Exchequer and a clerk, 

 as auditors, the document being then cancelled by drawing a pen 

 across it. The schedules of particulars are in neither of the above 

 cases now to be found. In 7 Henry V., 1419, Thomas Martyn 

 of Bath, and Thomas Holbrook of Bath, webber, were collectors 

 of a whole-tenth and the third part of a tenth, and duly 

 accounted for the sum of £17 15s. 6Ud.,J being £13 6s. 8d. 

 for the tenth and £4 8s. 10J|d. for the third. In 1429, 

 8 Henry VI., William Hoggekyns and John Hereford, in response 

 to a writ dated 28 August, accounted for two whole-tenths ; one 

 payable on the morrow of St. Hillary and the other on the 

 octave of St. Martin in the following year. The amount, 

 £26 13s. 4d., was duly received of the Burgesses and other men 

 of the city " que est de antiquo dominico Eegis."§ Seventeen 

 years later, in 1446, 24 Henry VI., William Hogekyns again, 

 with now William Drayton, accounted for £20 for a tenth and 

 half-a-tenth, by writ dated 16 July; the tenth payable at the 

 Feast of St. Martin in winter next following, and the half at 

 the same feast in the next year.|l
