The large sums expended by the king in charity have been elsewhere noticed. Bayles for the king's barge, 11. A bail is a kind of small bucket, used for emptying the water which accumulates at the bottom of a boat. To "bail out a boat" is the expression still used by sailors for that operation. Baynton Master, 36, 85, 209, _bis_. Beagles, Robert Sheere, keeper of the, 17, 24, 31, 39, 45, 70, 79, 94, 125, 136, 219, 290. These entries relate to the sums paid either as wages to the keeper of those animals, or for their food. His wages are said in some places to have been 5_s._ a month, but in others the 5_s._ a month is stated to be for meat for them, and as the latter entry never occurs near the former, and is uniformly the same in amount, it cannot be determined which is meant. That sum could scarcely have included both his wages and food for the dogs. Occasionally a reward of 20_s._ seems to have been bestowed upon him. Beagles' meat, for 187, 199, 213, 231. Beans brought, 218. Bears, [Beres] to the keeper of the king's, 14. If, as can scarcely be doubted, by "Beres" is meant Bears, this item proves that Henry had a kind of private menagerie, for it is not likely it could refer to the animals in the Tower. Beaulie, the gardener of, 4, 5, 8, 18, 36, _bis_, 39, 44, 45, _ter_, 50, 56, 61, 72, 77, _bis_, 80, 81, 87, 96, _bis_, 103, 120, 124, 130, 142, 147, 166, 169, 176, 188, 197, 200, 207, 209, 219, 220, 224, 232, 235, 241, 256, 257, 264, 287, 288. "NEW HALL, a magnificent mansion not far from Woodham Walters, formerly belonging to the Butlers, Earls of Ormond, after to Thomas Bollen, Earl of Wiltshire, of whom Henry VIII. purchased it by exchange, and making costly additions to it, gave it the name of BEAULIEU, which, however, never prevailed among the generality."--_Gough's Camden_, vol. ii. p. 44. New Hall, or Beaulieu, is about five miles S. E. by E. of Maldon, on the side of the æstuary of the Blackwater.--"Leland states that when Henry 'ædes sibi comparassit coeperunt in immensum excrescere ingentibus Principis impensis, novumque juxta ac elegans nomen _Belli Loci_ adsumere.' Camden informs us that the new name never prevailed among the common people; and after the king's death, it is presumed, the place resumed its original appellation of New Hall." M. Bed, and appurtenances, paid for the making of a, 77.
