Summary

[Note. The original source for the following Lists, is the official Return, signed by J. Tabor and Henry Moody, preserved in the Registry. It was pointed out by the late A. W. Haddan (see supra, p. 56, n. 4), that they required correction, and the version given by Cooper (Annals, III 186–7) contains serious inaccuracies, while he also gives all the Christian names in a contracted form,—Drue Bowd thus appearing as ‘Dr Bord,’ etc. Many years ago, accordingly, I had formed the design of comparing Cooper's lists with the originals, when my intention was forestalled by an offer on the part of the late Registrary (Mr J. W. Clark) to relieve me from the labour, by himself undertaking the work of verification, an offer which I gratefully accepted; and my transcripts from Cooper were shortly afterwards returned to me with an intimation that the process of correction had been carried as far as then seemed practicable. Since that time, however, the available sources at the Registry have been more carefully studied and also put in order, and Dr Venn has been able to subject the original document, above referred to, to a careful scrutiny, the results of which he has embodied in the Lists herewith printed.
