 were charged with having seized one William Garfick 

 at Lhde Singleton, carried him of to Westby and 

 there imprisoned him for a fortnight, carrying off 

 abo his corn and other goods. In defence it was 

 pl-aA-*! that Gadick was a riOem as of Clifton's 

 manor of Westby and had ahnowded.* Except for 

 about a centnry from 1512 onward die manors,

 of the pursuivants, he was not far distant ; and per- 

 hap soinerimes there was niore than on priest attend- 

 ing to the wants of the district.* 1 * About 1700 

 James Barrow, a Jesuit, had charge. In 1716, after 

 the defeat of the Jacobites at Preston, he was con- 

 victed of recusancy and declared an outlaw. He 

 escaped capture. 1 * Toe Jesuits remained in charge till 

 1791. and were sncceedaa 1 by Benedictines and then 

 by the secular clergy. A chapel was built at the west 

 end of the hall in 1741, but dosed by Thomas 

 Clifton, who had become a Piototant, in 1845. The
