The rest of the parchment rolls connected with the above are 

 indictments chiefly of the years 1058 and 1 659. There are no entries 

 in the order book from 1658 summer circuit to summer circuit, 1659, 

 so that there may have been no assize in the spring of 1659 ; how- 

 ever the indictments do not belong" to the gaol list of: July, 1659, 

 for all the names of the prisoners do not coincide, and this remains 

 in doubt. 



In the bundle I found a coroner's inquisition and an indictment for 

 throwing a man down a well at Warminster, Dec. 1658. 



An indictment against a fisherman named Fras Hartory and his 

 wife Katharine making an assault " on an unknown man w at the

Only one witness — William Kent — on back of indictment. 

 True bill found. 



There is also a sentence to hanging for a burglary at Milford, near 

 Sarum, against three men. An innkeeper also to be executed for 

 " setting them up " to commit it. 



The following docket, tied on to the roll, hung from it as it lay

A few more documents remain which I trust I may be forgiven 

 for setting out in full, as they may prove interesting to authorities 

 on our county nomenclature and crime.
