Tlio original lilinutes give tlic presentment


against three of tho Jury as follows:— “ We doo p’sent Edmond Atkinson, John


Sollors and Jolm Browmo for not observing their appointed mootting of wo the other of tho Jurors being by consent to bo vpon Tusdayo tho xsvjtli of Ifobruary Instant. Wee fyuo ouory of tiiem for their default iiijd.*’


Of the twelve Jurymen who signed the


^•ol•dict at this Court, seven were marksmen. There w:ia a presoiitmont for iiedgc break­


ing at the Court held on 8th October, 1635, and tlio Jury now present several pei'sons for tho &mie offence, in an article by W. A. S. Howins in “ Social England,” Vol. IV. p. 106. the author states that ‘ ‘ during the jKMTod from 1603 to 1612, esi>ccially in 1622-3, 1630-1, and suliscquent years inucli distress prevailed not only amongst the poorer classes, but amongst tlio* artiliccrs and work]>coplo who, in good times, would ho considerably above the level of poverty. Wo aro told that tho j)ovorty of the x>oor caused them to break down the hedges of the encIosnroH for firewood. ‘ For,' siUth tlie poor, ‘ allhongli they want victuals, that is too deare for tliem to got by theii’O lionest labour, yet liicy will not pej’ish for want of lire, so long a.s it is to ho gotten.’ ” Thorold Kogers ( “ Si.\ Centuries of Work


and Wagi's ” ) says tliat in tho ten years end­ ing 1590 the average price of a quarter of wlicat was 20s. (kl. In llio ten years ending 1630 it was 37s. uid.; in tho ten years ending 1610 it was 43s. OJd.; and in tlie ten years ending 1650 it was 46s. I4d., and he points out that ” estimatoil hy his power of pur­ chasing wheat, tho artizaii and labourer in tho last twenty years of the 16th and the first 50 years of tlie 17th Century got pro- gro.ssivoly loss, so that in tlio ten years from 1641 to 1650 tlieir wages were little more than the fourtli of that whicli had been earned hy their grandfathers and greatgraud- fathors.” No doubt the breaking of hcnlges was a great, nuisance to tho members of tho Jury, wlio wore usually the more .suhshiiitial iniiabit4iui«^, but in attempting to deal with it they were probably acting beyond their jurisdiction. By 43 Elizabeth, c:q>. 7, hedge briaking wtus plmishablo hy a .fu.stice of the Peace, and it was also prtTscnUible at the Court fAiot .one of the items in tho Charge to the Jury in wliich w.'us ” if any lie common breakors of hedges, pruseni their naim-.s.” A C/juit Baron had inoreov*“r no power what­ ever to oixier any ono to ho placed in the stocks, nor had it any power to give iirders U> the Constable, as ho was not an qflicer of tliat Court. ” Tho Coit^tabies aro saiil to bo (jHicers of tlio Kingdom, api>ointod lor the maintenance of tlie i>eacc therivif, and to be attendant to Court i.eots, Jttsiicc.s of tlie Peace, and Coi'oneJ*s, for tiie e.seciition of their Warrants within their Precinct and lil.crty ” (Sheppard, ” Tho Offices and.Dut:e.s

tinuing in force wore extracted by tlio Steward and kept for reforcnco by tho Jury from time to time. They aro not always cxtraetixl verbatim, hut give what tho Stowiird considered tho meaning of them. In tliose particular tlio first of tho above pains is entered as follows:— , • Item that if any of tlio Inliahitants


within tho Manour take his noighhours or ytrangers goods in his grounds Damage


feazuut shall first impound those goo<Ls soo taken in tho Pinfould belonging to tlfo ^fanour vpon imino of fyue shillings. The second pain, as it occurs in tho minutes, enjoins attending tlie lord and his stowai'd


to walko to tho crosso vpon cu’y head fairo day.” Hus pain as extracted hy tho Steward in his


particulars of pains imposed runs ns follows:— ” Item that oucry houshoulder within the


Manour shall at ouco' ffairo from tyino to tirao in liia own© p'soun or hy his man seruant able in hodic attend tlie Lord of tho Manour or tho Steward of his ffoiro in Gysburno aforo- saido on such dales and at .such tymes ns p’clamacon is to he made of tho said ITniro and for tho p’seruacon of the puhlique iicnco vpon of eucry default iiijd.


Tho object of requiring the attendance of


tho Householders or thoir mon servants at the fairs lyns evidently twofold: first to pro- ndo a retinue for the Lord or Uie Steward, when lie atlendeil to proclaim tho fair; and secondly’ to obtain a sufficient, force to keep order among tlio largo number of persons fre­ quenting tlio fair. By the Statute of Northampton (1328) it


was provided that the Lords which have fairs h.v Charters or otherwise shall hold them during the time that they ought to do and no longer upon pain to seize such fairs into file King’s hands, and that every Lord at tho beginning of lua Fair shall proclaim how long tho fair .sliall endure. It wn.s usual for fairs in ho proclaimoil with a good deal of State. Tlio Bailiffs of Clitlinroe ase<l to go in proces­ sion to proclaim the fairs there, attendwl hy tho Bluocaps or Javelin Men, and procwled hy musicians. The following is Iho proclama­ tion used early in the 18lh Century for pro­ claiming tho Ciithcroo Fairs:—


THE BllOCLAMACON FOR THE FAIR. ■ ” Bohort Barker and Thomas Oddy Gentn.


Baililfs and head. Gov’nrs of tills fair and Market do will aud require and novcrtbclctis


to Uii:> fair aud market asseiublcd do keep his Maj'tiea peace upon pain and penalty hereaflei’ following that is to say every Kuiglit and Kstjr vpou pain of tea pounds and every other p’son aud p’sous vpon pain of one hui.drod shillings and if any p’.sou or p’sona happen to liavo any wrong done during this fall' and market tiioy may repair to tho sd Bailitfs and dead Gov’nrs. at the Muothall of this Burrough and tliey may liave such s| eevly rcinidy lor their wrongs dono as by the Laws and Statutes of tliis Boalm in sucli case are provided.” Tho ‘ ‘ speedy remedy ” to bo obtained at


iho Moot Hall is a reference to the Court of Pii’-Powder, wliicii iva.s incident to ever)’ f;iir and in which disputoa arising at tho fair were settled juid determined in a summary manner. Probably tho proclamation of the Fairs at Gisliurn would bo in somewhat similar terms to tho above.


rate, and tho puicboser of such produce ob­ tained it more cheaply at the great fairs than bo did in London itself. Again there were products sold in moat towns which could bo purchased in the greatest variety and at tho lowest rates at tno , great fairs. . , . Nothing was too cumbrous or too costly for a mediaeval fair, for i f tho dcalor did not find customers here, ho could find thorn no whoro else. I t was frequented by noblo and sei’f, by cliurchmau and soldier, by merchant or trader, and j>casanfc, by monk and crafts­ man. . . . Sixty years ago, a visit to an autumn fair, for tho sake of laying in winter supplies, was part of the ordinary life of a small country gentleman or a wealthy yeo­ man. Here ho gob bales of West of England cloth for his household, hides and uppers for slioes, and lioots, cheese in districts where dairy farming was not jiractis^, and a host of conveniences and raj’o luxuries. . . . Ten or twelve generations ago tlioso fairs were a necessity, tlirco or four a great con­ venience, with which tho country could ill tlispensc. At present tho importance which they once ^lossessocl has passed away, and their significance is forgotten. Tliero is no part of English social life which lias been so totally altered hy improved means of com­ munication as trade, especially trade in tlio country. Two generations ago pedlars carried tea about in paclcs on thoir shoulders. At tho prosont time a counti^ grocer can oiio evening bid his agent hy letter free a chest of tea from bond, and tlio next day ho can have it in stock. Goods can ho carried at ono-tonlh tho cost, time, and risk, from the centres of trade to distant villages. Migratory trade has. thereforo, become superlliioiis and obsolete, and tho' groat marts of tho Plan- tngonets, of tho 'I’lidors, of the Stuarts, and of tho early reigns of tho later family, have degenerated into scenes of coarso amuse mont, and after having heou granted and protected xLs the higliest and most inecossary franchises, have been tolerated for tho sako of their traditions, and aro now being generally sup- prcfsod as nuisimcce.” In tho list of PniiiK extracted by the


Steward aro tlio following, .stated to have been laid on tho 26th November, 1640, but tho .Bolls contain no ontrj' of any G)urt on this date:— “ TTiat if any p’son or p’sons within the

Castle Grounds. A further complaint of wilful damage at


tho Castle Grounds was made by Councillor Ootlam, cliairman of tho Parks and Play- grounch Oomraittco. Not only were people damaging property on tho estate but they wore tlirowing stonos.at other property. The sooner bye-laws woro passed tho better. It wcruld bo a pity if tlio grounds liad to bo policed but this was inevitable unless such had conduct coosed.
