[66] and 1 lb. of pepper.
[67] and 4 barbed arrows.
In connection with the above table the following details may be noted
here: other points will be considered when we come to examine the
details.
_Burton-on-Trent._ In the first valuation the details
of the Derbyshire temporalities amount to £73 11s. 2d.,
not £73 6s. 2d. In Roman numerals the shillings appear
as vi^{s.} instead of xi^{s.}.--a mistake easily made.
The total of temporalities appears, therefore, as £271
11s. 3½d. instead of £271 16s. 3½d., and this affects the
calculation throughout. The gross income should be £357 1s.
3½d. and the net income £267 19s. 3d.
In the second valuation the details of the temporalities
amount to £414 14s. 4½d. instead of £402 15s. 4½d. as
given: the spiritualities amount to £99 5s. instead of £98
11s. 8d. The total income (gross) should therefore be £513
19s. 4½d. instead of £501 7s. 0½d., leaving the net balance
£424 17s. 4d. instead of £412 5s.
_Croxden._ See below, page 97.
_Dieulacres._ The gross total income is given as £243
2s. 6d., whereas the totals of the various sections amount
to £243 3s. 6d. As the total of the disbursements to be
deducted is given as £15 18s. 6d. and the net final balance
as £227 5s. (_i.e._, £243 3s. 6d.--£15 18s. 6d.) the
sum first named is probably a misprint in the printed
edition. I have, therefore, given the correct figures of
the gross total income in my table.
_Hulton._ The gross balance as given is 10½d. too
little, but in working out the tenth this appears to have
been remembered. A tenth of £76 14s. is £7 13s. 4¾d. and a
fraction. This added to a tenth of the 10½d. gives £7 13s.
6d. nearly.
_Rocester._ The items of expenditure are arranged in
four groups, and the four totals are correctly given. They
make £12 8s. 8½d. in all, but this is noted below as £11
8s. 8½d., and this is the amount which is deducted from the
gross total income to make the balance of £100 2s. 10½d.
The balance ought to be £99 2s. 10½d.
_Ronton._ In stating the spiritual outgoings the
amounts are given with great minuteness. For instance, the
Bishop’s annual Visitation Fee is set forth as £1 2s. 2½d.
+ ⅓ of ½d. The result is that this small fraction appears
throughout the succeeding calculation, until at last the
gross balance becomes £lxxxx ii^{s.} x^{d.} ob’ ii^{as}
ptes ob’.
_Stafford, St. Thomas_. In the spiritual disbursements
the total is given as £24 1s. 8½d. and ⅓ of ½d., and in the
deduction of the total expenditure from the total income
the last item is put as 2⅓^{d.}, whereas it apparently
should be 1⅝^{d.}
