Now if we divide the 40/- stated to have been given to the 
King’s and Queen’s servants who brought down Masrrr Hooper, 
by siz, the number stated by Foxe, we find it gives them half 
a mark each ; just the sum which would be in proportion to the 
other payments at which we have glanced. This six and eight- 
pence would be about equal at the present day to six guineas. 
Foxr states that “the Lord SHanpors,” was one of the Com- 
missioners appointed to see to Hooprr’s execution. Compare 
this with the item in lines I have numbered 4 to 6, where. 
we find expenses for a dinner given at the house of Sir Tuomas 
Betz, to the Lord Cuanpos and other gentlemen on the after- 
noon Hooper was “brente.” Sir Tuomas Bett was the father 
of the Mayor of Gloucester (Tuomas Berti, jun") and his 
house was the Black Friars’ Monastery, which was granted to 
him at the dissolution by Henry VIII. The expense of the 
dinner was 43/8; equal to between £40 and £50 of the present 
day. Txomas Betx, jun" was member for the city in the course 
of the year following. 
Next comes a very remarkable item for wine paid to Acnzs 
Ineram, by order of “Master Kryeaston” and others “‘that same 
day in the morning that the said Hoop" was brente.” This 
confirms the two statements of Foxn, that Bishop Hoorrr was 
lodged at the house of one Ineram, and that among those who 
came to visit him there, “Sir AnrHony Kriyeston, Knyght, 
was one.” Agnes Inaram would probably be the mother or 
wife of Roserr Incram, The family is an old one in the 
county; and I believe the shop at the Cross, now held by 
Mann, the jeweller, was, a generation or two ago, in the occu- 
pation of a watch and clockmaker of that name, Furwey, 
who lived about midway between our own time and Hoopsr’s, 
states in his MS. that ‘‘Iygram’s house was opposite the 
steeple of St. Nicholas Church,” 
AntHony Kineston, whom Foxe states to have visited 
Hooper, and who, as this document now shows, was on the same 
premises on the morning of his death, was the son of Sir 
Wim Kineston, Constable of the Tower, to whom HEnry 
VIII. granted Flaxley, Haresfield, and Painswick. He had
