702 SUNDRIES. 



&/., and one at Oriel College in 1608 at lod. These cheap 

 articles I conceive were not very different from strainers. 



Bread-graters are also of very different qualities and prices. 

 I have found them at Ss. and Js. 6d. in 1612 and 1685, at 2s. in 

 1611, at is. 6d. in 1622. Graters, without any indication as to 

 the object for which they are purchased, range from 6d. to 3$. 



In 1628 King's College buys six pie-plates, giving 15^. 8</. 

 for them, or 2s. 7\d. each. In 1 648 Winchester College gives $d. 

 for nominally the same article ; in 1653 and 1656, 2\d. They 

 must have been very different conveniences. The first-named 

 is probably a metal baking-dish. The Winchester entries are 

 very likely earthenware. 



Brawn tubs for pickling and saucing flitches of bacon are 

 found not infrequently. The price varies from is. to 8s., the 

 commonest price being about 5^., or about the average price 

 of a hogshead. The salting of brawn was a common practice 

 at All Souls College. The brawner, for which Corpus 

 Christi College gave 43 s. ^d. in 1617, a price far in excess of 

 any of these tubs, may have been intended for a similar pur- 

 pose. I do not find the word in the glossaries. 



The kitchen kept trays, on which it seems that the cooked 

 provisions were carried into the hall. They are found oc- 

 casionally from the first year to nearly the last. In 1583, 

 the tray costs is. $d. ; in 1628, $s. 3^.; in 1684, 3^. ; and in 

 1691, is. lid. 



Pudding-bags from 1681 to 1696 cost from is. to 8d., cab- 

 bage-nets from is. to is. 4d. A beef-fork is bought in 1665 

 for is. 6d., kitchen shovels in 1583 and 1665 at 2s. 6d. and zs., 

 a kitchen fire-pan in 1631 at 2s., a kitchen table in 1679 at 

 3J. 6d., and a kitchen lantern in 1612 at 6s. 



A kitchen rack in 1644 costs 6s., a brass mortar in 1596 

 I2s. $d., a pair of pot-hooks in 1617 2s., and a marble mortar 

 in 1649 $s. 6d. A lattice to the larder in 1627 costs 4s. 

 Dressers for the kitchen, two in number, are included with two 

 hall tables in 1628 under the composite price of looj. But 

 I find a dresser in 1634 at 38*. 7^., and another in 1667 at
