264 DOCUMENTS FROM BURTON PARISH CHEST. 
money received, and money paid, and present no items of 
interest. 
The last document consists of seven pages of names 
arranged in a list, accompanied by three columns of figures, 
headed, ‘‘horses,” ‘beast,’ ‘‘sheep,” but in the ‘‘sheep”’ 
column for the most part appear figures denoting small 
sums of money, there being only thirteen entries of sheep 
in a list of some 190 odd names. The last page concludes 
with the words ‘‘Sessed the gth July, 1600,” followed by 
a list of names apparently of the assessors. This appears 
to be an assessment for a fifteenth, a view supported by 
some entries on the back of paper No. 6. These begin, 
‘‘ Unpaid of the fifteen,” and resemble the present document 
in form. The assessors count on the old plan, by the 
score, thus the first three lines on the last page run 
horses gg score and Io at 4d. 
beast 10 score and 13 at 3d. 
sheep 12 score and 15 at 8d. the score. 
According to this paper, Burton, in the year 1600, consisted 
of New Street, High Street, Horninglow Street, and Ander- 
staffe Lane.
