The above Will and Codicil are from the Register " Wrastley 

 24." In an earlier Register "Populwell 17," there is another 

 copy of the same Will and Codicil, precisely corresponding, but to 

 that copy is appended the following official Act. 



" Decimo quinto die Novembris A.D. 1548 emanavit commissio Dno Carolo 

 Stourton, Militi, Dno. Stourton (in) hujus-modi testamento nominate ad ad- 

 ministranda bona, jura et credita prefati defuncti ad viam intestati decedentis, 

 eo quod idem Dnus Carolus oneri execucionis testamenti renuntiavit, &c. De 

 bene, &c. Et de pleno Inventario, &c, exhibend', ad Sancta Evangelia jurat'. 



[i.e.] On the 15th November, 1548, a commission issued to Charles Lord 

 Stourton to administer to the goods, &c, of the deceased as if he had died 

 intestate, the said Charles having renounced the executorship. 



In the Original Probate Act Book is the official entry of a sub- 

 sequent Probate Act, the substance of which is met with at the end 

 of the Will in " Wrastley." 



" 15 t0 Julii 1557, emanavit commissio Dne Anne Stourton vidue ad adminis- 

 tranda bona, &c, Dni Willielmi Stourton militis defuncti, dum vixit Dni Stour- 

 ton, per Dnum Carolum Stourton Dnum Stourton etiam defunctum non adminis- 

 trata juxta tenorem testamenti de bene, &c, ac de pleno Inventario, &c, jurat'. 



[i.e.] On 15 July 1557, a commission issued to the Lady Anne Stourton 

 widow, to administer the goods, &c, of William Lord Stourton left unadminis- 

 tered by Charles Lord Stourton also deceased. 



This "Lady Anne Stourton, widow" was Anne (Stanley), widow 

 of Charles Lord Stourton, and the commission was granted to her 

 nine years after the death of William Lord Stourton, and three 

 months after the execution of her husband.
