We do not find that any hereditary turbulence showed itself in disorders among the students. The early quarrels recorded are all among the Fellows, and upon constitutional questions. The main complaints against the boys were very harmless freaks, if we except the constant apprehensions of the Deans concerning ale or tippling houses in the city, which were assumed to be haunts of vice. Stealing apples and cherries from the surrounding orchards was a common offence, coupled, moreover, with climbing over the wall of the College. It shows Ussher’s hand when we find this local feature formally noted in the Caroline Statutes. A few of Bedell’s entries are the following:-- _1628. July 16_ and _18._--At the examinations each forme was censured, and it was agreed that none shall ascend out of one forme to another, however absent, till he be examined. _August 18._--Examination for Scholars--Apposers, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Fitzgerald. _August 21._--The Bachelors to be hearers of the Hebrew Lecture, unless they that were able to proceed in that tongue by their private industry, and those are to help in the collation of the MSS. of the New Testament in Greek. Twelve Testaments were given by Sir William Ussher for the Irish. _August 24._--A meeting about the accounts. Warning given of town haunting and swearing. The Deans requested to appoint secret monitors for them. _September 13._--The Dean may punish for going in cloaks by the consent of the Provost and greater part. Mr. Temple’s letters to the Provost and Fellows answered--his cause of absence to study in Oxford not _gravis_ much less _gravissima_. _September 22._--The course for banishing boys, not students, by occasion of Mr. Lowther’s boy striking Johnson consented to, viz. that fire and water, bread and beer and meat be denied them by the butler and cook, under pain of 12d. _toties quoties_. _September 23._--Deane and Wilson mulcted a month’s Commons for their insolent behaviour, assaulting and striking the butler, which was presently changed into sitting at the lower end of the Scholars’ table for a month, and subjecting them to the rod. The order for placing the Fellow Commoners by themselves in the Chapel for having more room begins. Service books bought and bound for the natives. _October._--Election of Burgesses for Parliament. The Provost and Mr. Donellan, upon better advice, the Provost resigning, Mr. Fitzgerald was chosen. _December 28._--The Lord Primate dined in the College at the Hall, and the same Dr. James Ware presented the petition for renewing the lands of Kilmacrenny. Jo. Wittar admonished for playing at cards. _January 28._--Tho. Walworth refused to read Chapter, and enjoined to make a confession of his fault upon his knees in the Hall--which he disacknowledging--he had deserved expulsion.
