[750] The rest of the manuscript contains a clause in Burleigh's hand which provides that justices of the peace shall act with other commissioners and prevent the transportation of grain and shall also be jointly responsible with the commissioners for the proper performance of this duty. The rest consists of rough jottings in Burleigh's hand concerning some additional matters such as "Tr(a)nsport of beans," "Recusants mo(n)y," &c. APPENDIX VI. ACCOUNTS of the Churchwardens and Overseers of the parish of Staplegrove, Co. Somerset, for the year 1599 (Brit. Mus. Add. MSS. 30,278). The accounts of the overseers of Staplegrove have been preserved for several years between 1599 and 1623 (1599, 1605, 1621, 1622, and 1623). The churchwardens' accounts also remain and begin as early as 1585 and in some of these also payments to the poor are noted[751]. [751] Thus in the account rendered July 21st, 1588, by one churchwarden several items of the kind occur, e.g. Item to a poore blynde man the v^{th} of February iij^d. It. to a poore woman the xiiij^{th} of February iij^d. It. to the poore howse at Lamporte the x^{th} day of November iij^d. It. to a poore souldyour iij^d. &c. Later the churchwardens apparently always made a payment of 5_s._ every half-year to the constables for lame soldiers and hospitals. This account is of course made under the provisions of the Act of 1597 (39 Eliz. c. 3)[752]. [752] See p. 76.
