on entering Calais in 1347), in the late Rev. John Morris’s “_Troubles of our Catholic Forefathers_,” first series (Burns & Oates). For “the Kayes,” of Woodsome, see Canon Hulbert’s “_Annals of Almondbury_” (Longmans). “The Venerable” Richard Langley, of Owsthorpe and Grimthorpe, near Pocklington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, who suffered at the York Tyburn on the 1st December, 1586, for harbouring priests, was great-grandson of one of the Kayes, of Woodsome. (Communicated by Mr. Oswald C. B. Brown, Solicitor, of York.)] [Footnote 32:——“_Greenway’s MS._,” quoted by Jardine, “_Narrative of the Gunpowder Plot_,” p. 151.] [Footnote 33:——Hawarde, “_Reportes of Star Chamber_.” See “_The Fawkeses, of York_,” by Robert Davies, sometime Town Clerk of York (Nichols, Westminster, 1850); and the “_Life of Guy Fawkes_,” by William Camidge (Burdekin, York). Davies was a learned York antiquary. William Harrington, the elder, first cousin to Edward Fawkes (Guy’s father), and Thomas Grimstone, of Grimston, were both “bound over” by the Privy Council, on the 6th of December, 1581, to appear before the Lord President of the North and the Justices of Assize at the next Assizes at York, for harbouring Edmund Campion.——See “_Acts of Privy Council, 1581_” (Eyre & Spottiswoode), p. 282.——What was the upshot I do not know. Their Indictments are probably still to be found at York Castle. And it is a great desideratum that the old York Castle Indictments should be catalogued, and a catalogue published. I believe such never has been done. Since August, 1900, York Castle has been used as a Military Prison. All the old Indictments that are in existence, whether at York, Worcester, or other Assize towns, would be of interest and value re the Gunpowder Plot _if the affair is to be thoroughly bottomed_. The York Quarter Sessions’ Indictments appear to be irretrievably lost, which is a great pity, as many of those of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries must have referred to Popish recusants, and those of the seventeenth century probably to Puritan sectaries, and, later, to Quakers as well——the latter being punished under the Popish Acts of Supremacy and Allegiance. Indeed, the barrister, William Prynne (seventeenth century), a Calvinistic English Presbyterian, wrote a book to prove that Quakerism was only a sort of indirect and derivative Popery. The learned gentleman entitled his work: “_The Quakers unmasked and clearly detected to be but the spawn of Romish Frogs, Jesuites, and Franciscan Fryers._” Now, Prynne was not far wrong either, the erudite historical philosopher knows very well, who has studied the genesis of the remarkable system developed by Fox, Barclay, and Penn. Was there a Grimston near Mount St. John, Feliskirk, near Thirsk? Or was it Grimston Garth, Holderness? or was it North Grimston, between Malton and Driffield, that Thomas Grimstone came from; or Grimston, three miles east of York?
