Cary Thomas, 10, 59, 67, 81, 143, 144, 145, 226.
The greater part of these entries relate to money given "in
reward," but two or three of them are of shooting money, whence it
may be inferred that he was "one of the shooters" or game keepers.
---- John, 41.
Cast of Lanretts brought, 141, 149.

Cele, _vide_ Seal.
Cellar, Serjeant of the, 24, 32, 113, 115, 190, 216, 278.
Only two of these entries relate to expenses connected with this
individual's official situation. The others were payments of money
lost to him by the king at dice, cards, and bowls, excepting on
one occasion, when money was paid him to be His Majesty's partner
at one of these games. It is thus manifest that he enjoyed a
large share of the king's personal favour. His name has not been
precisely ascertained. Richard Hill, whose widow remarried Sir John
Mason, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was Serjeant of the
Cellar in this reign, but in what years is uncertain.

Chape, a, for knives, paid for, 168.
A Chape, is explained in Todd's Johnson to be "the catch of any
thing by which it is held in its place, as the hook of a scabbard
by which it sticks in the belt; the point by which a buckle is
held to the back-strap;" also, "a brass or silver tip or case
that strengthens the end of the scabbard of a sword." "'Chape' is
sometimes applied to the hook of a scabbard, and at others to what
is by Heralds termed the crampet, in which case the other metallic
pieces on the scabbard are called Lockets. Chape like Chapter,
seems to be derived from Caput."--M*.
Chapel, Master Cole, Subdean of the kings, 13, 82.
