(Depositions taken under Special Commissions, Cornwall, 18 

 Elizabeth, Trinity, No. 1). 



We may add that John Symons was one of the canons of the 

 priory of Bodmin, and having, upon the death of Prior Yivian, 

 been elected prior by his brethren, was instituted and confirmed 

 in that office by the Bishop of Exeter, on 6 July, 1533 (Hist. 

 Trigg Minor, Vol, I, pp. 134, 135). According to Dr. Oliver he 

 resigned in the spring of the following year, upon a pension of 

 £40 a year (Mon. Exon., p. 17). He died before the surrender 

 of the priory in 1538, for his pension is not shewn to be a charge 

 upon the revenues of the house.
