page 193 note 1 See above, p. 191. The description given in Hist. MSS. Comm., Third Report, app., p. 265 is: ‘Con O'Neal and his attendants’ [sic] expenses from Christmas till Annunciation 1617 (1 page), signed by Matthew Bust. Below is Fulke Greville's order for payment. Among the items of charges are, “ Given to him upon Salting day, 12d.—A Bible, 6s. 8d.—Latin Grammar, 12d.—Epistolae per Sturmium, 5d.—Tuition, 20s..”—the total was 18l. 15s. 1d.

page 193 note 2 It is to be hoped that the original can be traced and a transcript printed in this journal. An inquiry addressed to Eton College has elicited no reply.

page 195 note 1 The transcript makes no attempt to deal with the first word of the endorsement and proceeds, without comment, as follows : ‘ p maid et sacried Georgii Bearson scdo die July, ano dt xv. Jacobi’. A flourish after ‘ Sotherton ‘ is read as : ‘ C: I.? (clericus primus) ’. Cf. document 2 below.

Newton, whose knowledge of the administrative history of this period is unrivalled. Dr. Newton writes: ‘ Bingley was head of the banking side of the exchequer, i.e. the lower exchequer. He managed the whole of the paying-in and paying-out, his work being checked by Wardour, clerk of the pells. There are voluminous records by which his work can be traced. Willis was writing to Bingley about what we should now call the cashing of a treasury warrant.’
