LANCASHIRE RECUSANTS AND QUAKERS

following lists afford some details of the re- -L ligious conditions in Lancashire and Cheshire

in the time of Charles II, and may be regarded as supplementary to Mr. Irvine's account of the Chester diocesan records of the same period. Something was shown of the Nonconformists' grievances in the extracts from Sir Roger Bradshaigh's Letter Book, in the last volume of Transactions.

RECUSANTS IN WEST DERBY HUNDREDAt the general gaol delivery at Lancaster Castle

on 6th September, 18 Charles II (1666), it was presented that the following persons, though all of sixteen years of age and upwards on ist December 1665, "did not repair" to their parish church or other place of Common Prayer, but had obsti nately forborne to do so for three months or more.1 It will be noticed that the names, about 500 in all, belong to West Derby hundred, though there is not a single Liverpool one among them ; but the assize roll contains nothing to show why the other hundreds, which could have trebled this list, were not reported upon. Perhaps the church wardens and others had been remiss, or perhaps their lists had been recorded on earlier rolls. A some-

what later list, with Mr. Joseph Gillow's account of the victims, will be found in the Catholic Record Society's volume, Miscellanea, v.

It will be observed that in the majority of cases a conviction was recorded, but that some of the accused contrived to defer sentence. These were landowners who no doubt wished to stave off the sequestration of two-thirds of their estates as long as possible.

On 6th September proclamation was made before the judges of assize at Lancaster (Sir Christopher Turner and Sir Richard Rainsford) that the bodies of John Lancaster and the rest should be taken for their recusancy and be rendered before the next assize. At which assize (before Sir Richard Rains- ford and William Spencer), on 23rd March 1666-7, there appeared William Gerrard, Abraham Langton and Elizabeth his wife, John Urmston, Thomas


Ditchfield, Thomas Mossock, Robert Eaton, Ellenor Urmston, Frances Bradshaw, Richard Sale, John Ince, Richard Occleshaw, William Ashton, James Anderton and Anne his wife, Thomas Mossock and Mary his wife, Robert Eaton, Edward Stanley and Margaret his wife, Thomas Selby and Anne his wife, James Scarisbreck and Frances his wife, Henry Blundell and Bridget his wife, Robert Mollineux, Richard Shuttleworth, Margaret Ryce, Henry Mollineux, Ellenor Eccleston, Mary Lathome, Margaret Lathome, Dorothy Lathome, Thomas Hichmogh, Peter Urmston, William Urmston, Richard Leigh, William Crouchley, John Peterson, and John Yeate, who asked respite to the next assize. At which time John Lancaster and others made no appearance or demur and were accordingly convicted on 2Qth August 1667 ; but William Gerrard and the others just named came and asked for further delay, which was granted.

Most of the cases at the assizes were of the usual kind larceny, assault, and so on. There was one case in which Richard Bisbrowne of Thornton, yeoman, was charged with having uttered these sedi tious and scandalous words : " The king and queen are both traitors." He was acquitted. In another there was an allegation of influencing a juryman : " This deponent saw one Ralph Worthington of Blackrod take Richard Turner by the hand and wringing him by the hand said to him, ' Remember to stick to the poore man'; to whom he heard the said Richard Turner make answer with a nodd and a winck, shaking loose their hands, ' He warrant thee, I will stick to him,' or words to the very same or like effect. And so they parted and the said Turner went along with his fellow jurors." Barker's Lane in Melling, Runshaw Moor in Euxton, and Swinton Moor also came before the judges for the bad state of the ways.


QUAKERS IN LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIREAmong the manuscripts in the Bodleian Library

at Oxford (Engl. Misc. b. \ [R.]) is a petition on behalf of " our suffering friends," drawn up by William Penn, William Mead, Francis Moore, William Shewen, John Osgood, William Welch, Samuel Newton, and Stephen Crisp all these " signatures " being in the one hand and addressed to the King and Privy Council. It states that " the peaceable people called Quakers," after imprison ment, even to death in some cases, and the loss of goods, were being prosecuted and convicted as Popish Recusants, and accordingly threatened with the seizure of two-thirds of their estates for the King; and prays for relief.
