Notices of Chatton. By the Rev. William Procter, jun., 

 and James Hardy. 



The history of Chatton was shortly told by Wm. Dickson, 

 Esq., on occasion of the meeting of the Club there on the 

 28th May, 1857. This short history is given at p. 31 of the 

 " History of the Club " for 1856-62, and all that we propose 

 is to add a few details to it. The writ of King Edward I., 

 written from Chatton, printed there, is curious as shewing 

 the minute accuracy of that great king in controlling his 

 expenditure ; — issuing an express order to the Barons of his 

 Exchequer, for the payment of £2 6s. 8d. for the annual 

 dress of two Welshmen and a boy, employed probably as 

 keepers of his hounds at Bamburgh Castle ; and of £6 Is. 4d. 

 for their wages for the 182 days between the 14th February 

 and loth August, at 8d. a-day for the three. Some of the 

 members of the Club will be glad to have a translation of 

 this interesting document :—
