Record of Inquisition at Faversham dated 19 September 29 Elizabeth

( 313 ) RECORD OE INQUISITION AT EAVERSHAM, DATED 19TH SEPTEMBER 29TH ELIZABETH. BY E. E. GIRAUD. THE foUowing is a copy of an Inquisition taken by virtue of a Mandate from the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports to the Mayor of Faversham respecting the value and disposal of hatters' goods specified in Latin and English therein. The original is amongst the documents in the custody of the Town Clerk of Faversham, and is engrossed on parchment 17 inches broad, 10 inches long, with the seal of mayoralty. There are a few spaces marked . . . . where words have been obliterated by damp. The writer appears in some cases, such as Galivus, a hat, to have guessed at a Latin equivalent for what he intended to express—the usual rendering was Qalerus. The end of each line in the MS. is marked thus | in the copy. The persons named therein are:— Sir Wm. Broolce, of the M.N.O. of the Garter, Knt., Lord Cobham, Constable of Dover Castle, Keeper of the Caravels (ships), Admiral of the Cinque Ports.
