Hereford. In his petition he states that he had already compounded 
with the Wilts Committee for his goods and personal estate. He 
holds a farm in Deptford, in Wilts, annual value £70—another farm 
called Hardells, in Wiley, £25—another at Tisbury, called Chicks- 
grove—the manor of East Redford, in Wilts, with its old rents and 
dry rents—a lease having nine years to run in the rectory or par- 
sonage of Fisherton Delamere, £90. Allowing for certain abate- 
ments to Lords Pembroke and Arundel of Wardour, and to the poor 
of Tisbury, his fine, at a sixth, is £561 9s. Ist May, 1649. 
Marrtuew Nicaotas, of Salisbury, D.D. Left his habitation and 
repaired to Oxford and other of the King’s garrisons, but forbore to 
petition till after the King’s death. His modest “ particular” re- 
cites tithes long due from his parishioners at Clifton, in Gloucester- 
shire, altogether, with other small debts and a bond, and goods and 
household stuff at Salisbury estimated at £153. Fine, at a tenth, 
£15 6s. 
Watrter Norsorne, of Studley, Esq., declares in his petition that 
he was never sequestered nor judicially impeached for delinquency, 
nor did he engage iu the latter war, that of 1646. He is seised in 
fee to him and his heirs in two farms at East and West Coulston, 
worth £130 a year over and above the rent reserved of £100. He 
is possessed of a term of sixty years in lands at Hillmartin and 
Goatacre, £150—a tenement at Studley, £20—and there are debts 
owing to him £1600. Fine upon his own discovery, £380. He 
died in the year before the Restoration; and according to his 
epitaph (said by Aubrey to have been the composition of Dr. Pierce, 
of Devizes) his royalist principles seem to have provoked the people 
of Calne to some act of violence at his funeral, The passage 
suggestive of this is the following :— 
_ “Tanta etiam post mortem martyria passus (Satana suam rabiem in 
honores funebres exerente) uti duplicem videatur reportasse victoriam, de 
 Naturé alteram, alteram de Fortund.”
