one fines imposed on the Royalists of this county at the 
conclusion of the war between Charles I. and his Parlia- 
ment form the subject of the ensuing papers. The schedules of 
estates (called “ particulars”), on which those fines were adjudicated 
and levied in Goldsmith’s Hall, are preserved in the State Paper

the genealogist will, it is hoped, find himself remunerated by the 
discovery of a variety of matters of family interest.
