298 JOURNAL OF THE PLYMOUTH INSTITUTION. 
We will now turn to the Registers themselves, the entries in 
which, from the cause already stated—St. Nicholas being a non- 
parochial chapel within the parish of St. Stephen—are very few. 
One thin folio volume of parchment contains the whole of the 
entries down to the commencement of the present century. The 
baptisms begin in 1697, and there are entries down to 1815; such 
of them as appear of sufficient interest are appended. The whole 
of the weddings are given below, being limited to the small 
number of seven, and one of these is stated to have been at St- 
Stephens. The burials extend from 1752 to 1815, and consist of 
sixty-one entries, being just an average of one each year. From 
their small number, and most of the names being of more or less 
general interest, it appears worth giving the Register of burials 
entire. 
Beside the Registers proper the following memoranda are 
entered : 
1752. July 7. The worshipful Dr. Lee, Judge of the Arches Court of 
Canterbury, gave sentence in a cause of appeal between Stephen Hams,

former decree of nullity given by the Judge in the Court of Exeter, and
