=^Mr. Harley, Curate, i.e., of the chapel 

 of ease at Longi-idge. Mr. C. Hindle 

 was not deposed until 1650. 



Most of the writers on Eibehester 

 consider that Mr. Harley is meant for 

 Mr. Hindle, or Hindley. I do not wish 

 to be hypercritical, but still I venture to 

 think that the name is correctly given, 

 and that it refers to Mr. Harley or 

 Hartley, who had been Curate at Long- 

 ridge. 



In the first place the Commi.ssioner3 

 of the parochial surveys, who made 

 their report in 1650, state that "Mr. 



In tola 



Christopher Hindley was the present 

 Incumbent, but lately suspended," etc. 

 Whereas, in the report of the .survey, 

 taken on account of the Bishop, Mr. 

 Harley was called Curate. So particular 

 were the Surveyors that I do not think 

 it likely they would be guilty of such 

 misdescription. 



In the Register of Church Livings 

 (1654?), Lansdowne MS., "Christopher 

 Hindley lately suspended by the Pro- 

 vincial! Assembly," is stated to be the 

 " Incumbent."
