It appears that Mr. Anstie did not avail himself of the privileges 

 conveyed by his certificate, for the year following he disposed of it 

 by deed of assignment, duly stamped, to John Rose, of Devizes, 

 Baker. The consideration money paid by Rose was ten pounds, 

 and the costs of " Drawing, Ingrossing, Assignment, Stamps and 

 Paper," paid to the lawyer in the case, Mr. E. Joye, amounted to 

 one pound, one shilling. The money value of a " Tyburn Ticket" 

 in those days is thus fairly shown. 



The last of these certificates issued in Wiltshire was to the late 

 John Drewe, of Bishops Cannings, in July, 1818.
