1 "In 1690 Tourville, when supporting the Jacobite cause against William 

 of Orange, sailed with a French fleet into Torbay, where all the forces of 

 the county of Devon were drawn up to oppose their landing. ' At 4 a.m. on 

 July 26th several of their gallies drew off from their fleet and made towards 

 a weak unfortified place called Teignmouth, about seven miles to the east- 

 ward of Torbay. Here they burnt and destroyed 116 houses belonging to 

 E. & W. Teignmouth and Shaldon, and 11 shipps &c. the whole loss and 

 damage by the French Fleet being £1100.' " Trans. East Hiding Ant. Soc, 

 vii., 95. 



2 " In 1685 on the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, the condition of the 

 French Protestants became still more desperate. All the neighbouring 

 Protestant States opened their doors to the fugitives. In England public 

 subscriptions were raised on their behalf ; a first Brief running through 

 England, Wales, and Berwick-upon-Tweed was granted in 1686, a second 

 Brief in 1687, and a third in 1694, producing in all £63,713 2s. 3d." Trans. 

 East Riding Ant. Soc, vii., 92
