Hereford. In his petition he states that he had already compounded 

 with the Wilts Committee for his goods and personal estate. He 

 holds a farm in Deptford, in Wilts, annual value £70 — another farm 

 called Hardells, in Wiley, £25 — another at Tisbury, called Chicks- 

 grove — the manor of East Redford, in Wilts, with its old rents and 

 dry rents — a lease having nine years to run in the rectory or par- 

 sonage of Fisherton Delamere, £90. Allowing for certain abate- 

 ments to Lords Pembroke and Arundel of Wardour, and to the poor 

 of Tisbury, his fine, at a sixth, is £561 9s. 1st May, 1649. 



Matthew Nicholas, of Salisbury, D.D. Left his habitation and 

 repaired to Oxford and other of the King's garrisons, but forbore to 

 petition till after the King's death. His modest " particular " re- 

 cites tithes long due from his parishioners at Clifton, in Gloucester- 

 shire, altogether, with other small debts and a bond, and goods and 

 household stuff at Salisbury estimated at £153. Fine, at a tenth, 

 £15 6*. 



Walter Norborne, of Studley, Esq., declares in his petition that 

 he was never sequestered nor judicially impeached for delinquency, 

 nor did he engage iu the latter war, that of 1646. He is seised in 

 fee to him and his heirs in two farms at East and West Coulston, 

 worth £130 a year over and above the rent reserved of £100. He 

 is possessed of a term of sixty years in lands at Hill martin and 

 Goatacre, £150 — a tenement at Studley, £20 — and there are debts 

 owing to him £1600. Fine upon his own discovery, £380. He 

 died in the year before the Restoration; and according to his 

 epitaph (said by Aubrey to have been the composition of Dr. Pierce, 

 of Devizes) his royalist principles seem to have provoked the people 

 of Calne to some act of violence at his funeral. The passage 

 suggestive of this is the following : — 



" Tanta etiam post mortem martyria passus ( Satana suam rabiem in 

 honores funebres exerente) uti duplicem videatur reportasse victoriam, de 

 Naturd alteram, alteram de Fcrtund."
