In the Beverley registers there are 469 entries, of which all but a few are written in Latin. One of the English entries will give an idea of the kind of record kept:— John Spret, Gentilman. Memorandum, that John Spret, of Barton upon Umber, in the Counte of Lyncoln, gentilman, com to Beverlay, the ferst day of October, the vij yer of the reen of Keing Herry the vij, and asked the lybertes of Saint John of Beverlay, for the dethe of John Welton, husbondman, of the same town, and knawleg[37] hymselff to be at the kyllyng of the saym John with a dagarth,[38] the xv day of August. Footnote 37: Acknowledged. Footnote 38: Dagger. It is evident from these 469 entries that the Beverley Sanctuary must have been of special repute. For the criminals who asked the liberties of Saint John of Beverley came from parts of Britain as wide apart as Lowestoft, Honiton, Haverfordwest, Anglesey, and Durham. No fewer than thirty came from London, Beverley itself provided five, _Preston in Holdernes_ three, and _Kyngestone super Hull_ ten; while others came from _Heydon_, _Hezell_, _Hoton Cransewik_, _Hogett super le Wolde_, _Otteryngham_, _Wetherwyk_, and fifty other towns and villages in the East Riding. All ranks and conditions of life are represented among these entries, from the _armiger_ or knight, and _generosus_ or person of noble birth, down to the common _laborer_. The _goldsmyth_, the _surgyon_, the _grosiar_—an alderman of London—the _yoman_, the _chapman_, the _shepard_, and the _husbondman_ are there. So, sad to relate, is the _capellanus_, or chaplain; and among the tradesmen there are the _berbrower_, _bocher_, _bowyer_, _brykemaker_, _capper_, _coke_, _flecher_,[39] _fysshemonger_, _payntour_, _pewterer_, _plommer_, _pursor_, _pynner_, _saddiler_, _salter_, _syngyngman_, and _tawlowchaunler_. Footnote 39: A _flecher_, or _fletcher_, was an arrow-maker. * * * * *
