Price of Oxen in 1674. 
Sir Roger Moyston had a great intimacy with Pyers Pennant. 
The following is the copy of a letter from the former to the 
latter : — 
“ Dear Pyers, Moyston , March 14, 1674. 
“I hope you will excuse me for the £4 you owe me for the pair 
of oxen, for I want the money to make up £20 to send my son 
to Oxford next week. 
" I am, dear Pyers, &c. 
“ Roger Moyston/’ 
It appears, then, that £4 was the price of a pair of oxen in 1674, 
and that the Baronet of Moyston sent his heir apparent to the 
University with £20 in his pocket.
