BUCKS SESSIONS RECORDS

PREFACE

Volume III of the Calendar to the Records of the Quarter Sessions for Buckinghamshire was printed and published in 1939. The material for Volume IV was commenced in that year, but owing to the mobilization of the present editor and of his partner Mr. G. L Reckitt all work was suspended until 1947. About a third of the material was then in draft typescript. After the close of hostilities Mr. Reckitt was not available to continue the work and consequently Miss Cecily Baker, F. S. A. greatly assisted by Mrs. D. V. Sansome, undertook to prepare the Calendar to the remainder of the material down to the Epiphany Session, 1718, under my supervision

By this time printing costs had risen to such an extent that General Purposes Committee considered the publication of a volume similar to the previous three calendars was impossible and decided to consider all other methods of producing a volume which could be made available for study by those interested in the history of the county. It was finally decided to produce 100 duplicated typed copies bound between cloth-covered boards.

In appearance the production naturally falls far below that of previous volumes, but it is hoped that the saving of money will amply compensate the fastidious bibliophile. Apart from appearance, the volume has been prepared on exactly the same lines as those previously printed, and if printing costs fall it will be possible to commit the typescript to print without any serious re-arrangement except for the index. Even this should present no great difficulties and the only alteration will be in the pagination.

For various reasons Miss Baker had to give up her share of the work, which then fell solely on the shoulders of Mrs Sansome. This painstaking lady is now thoroughly versed in the method of calendaring, and I have confidence that she will be of the greatest assistance to me in the continuation of the work.

The present Calendar covers the period from Easter Session. 1712 to Epiphany Session. 1718 and deals with the closing years of Queen Anne’s reign and the first four years of King George I. The appendices give an alphabetical list of Justices of the Peace and of High Sheriffs mentioned in the Calendar: the writs of venire facias and of capias ad respondendum: the Register of Gamekeepers and a completely new series of documents which have been found filed out of date. This last mentioned class covers a period somewhat anterior to that dealt with by the Calendar, as the earliest document is dated 1703. The documents are called “Traverse Rolls” and record the cases where the prisoner “traverses the indictment”.

___________________________________

The period covered by the Calendar illustrates conditions of post-war political and social activity not entirely dissimilar from the times in which this Preface is written. While the Whigs were in power, the Tories had only a slight minority in the House and had the strong support of Queen Anne. The Tories were accused of having sympathy with the Pretender and certainly represented the “High Church Party”. Marlborough, the beloved hero of the Army, had been somewhat ignominiously relegated to the Reserve, to be replaced by the Duke of Ormonde who, with remarkable agility, proceeded to throw away all the military advantages which had been gained by Marlborough. The Peace of Utrecht, a triumph of the Whig administration, was considered as an insult to the nation.

In Buckinghamshire, political opinions appear to have been fairly evenly matched. There were a few ardent Catholics who, no doubt, supported the claims of the Pretender, and many rabid Non-Conformists, but the majority - if the Records of the Quarter Sessions can act as a guide - were far more anxious to keep their own homes in order than worry about the machinations of Louis XIV of France, of Philip V of Spain, or of Prince Eugene of Austria.

The slow demise of Queen Anne, an event watched with much anxiety by all peoples in Europe and one which survived as a form of schoolboy humour well into Edwardian days, passed without a single comment by the Justices of Buckinghamshire. True it is that the actual date of that long awaited calamity (August 1st) was during the vacation, and the Michaelmas Session did not assemble until 7th October 1714. On that occasion the Justices of the County took official action by sending a congratulatory address to its new-crowned Hanoverian monarch. In this they went to great pains to stress their service to the late Queen and gave a promise to show like loyalty to George I. They expressed their joy at the King’s “safe and quiet accession to the throne” and their determination “to defend your majesties undoubted right to the crowne of these kingdomes to the utmost of our Power against the Pretender and his adherents” (p.95).

The main effect of the accession of George I on the County’s administration was the rush of persons to take the oaths of allegiance, and to produce certificates of their having received the Lord’s Sacrament in accordance with the rights of the Church of England, thereby giving assurance that they renounced any tendencies towards the Roman Church.

During the reign of Queen Anne the number of Sacrament Certificates registered averaged 6 or 7 at each Sessions but this number rose to 80 at the Michaelmas Session 1714 (p.90) and to 46 and 24 respectively at the following two Sessions (pp.99-103,113-115). At the Michaelmas Session 1715, the Justices remarked on the number of persons who “have no knowledge of the recent Order requiring them to take an Oath of Allegiance in accordance with Act 1 George I Statute 2 Chapter 13, an act for the further security of his majesty’s person and government, and the succession of the Crown in the heirs of the late Princess Sophia, being protestants: and for extinguishing the hopes of the pretended Prince of Wales and his open and secret abottors”.

This enacted that all persons, as well peers as commoners, who bore office either civil or military, those in the pay of the King, those in the royal

II

households, all ecclesiastical persons of any denomination, all members of colleges etc. in any university, all persons teaching, all schoolmasters and ushers, all constables, serjeants at law, counsellors at law, barristers, advocates, solicitors etc. should appear in open court and take the oaths laid down.

The justices decided that there must be many persons who owing to distance from home or through infirmity were unable to take the Oaths at Aylesbury, and consequently agreed to adjourn the Sessions to Chepping Wycombe and Buckingham for the convenience of those living in such areas. Orders to this effect were to be affixed to the doors of all parish churches (p.133) and as a result many took the Oaths (pp.136-140).

a list of persons who refused appears in the records of the Epiphany Session 1716. Many were popish recusants, while others pleaded they were poor persons possessing neither horses nor arms (p.141) and therefore were not compelled to take the oaths.

There are cases which show that there were some who did not support George I. Lidicy, wife of Samuel Taylor of Oakham, co. Rutland was thrown into the Bridewell at Aylesbury for speaking “severall disrespectful words against our sovereign lord King George” (pp.148,168): Elizabeth, the wife of John Hester of Great Marlow, was accused of speaking “scandalous words reflecting on the Government” (p.149) but the most serious case arose in connexion with the official celebrations which had been ordered throughout the country on 7th June, 1716, to celebrate the defeat of the Pretender’s Army. As a loyal citizen Ann Meade the wife of a gentleman resident of Aylesbury went to considerable pains to decorate the wall of her house with candles but Agnes, wife of Richard Tuckwell, a cutler of Aylesbury, set out to destroy the illuminations, calling them “Presbetarian candles”, and encouraged others to sing bawdy songs in the hearing of poor Ann. Agnes also shouted out most offensive remarks, and expressed the wish that she should burn all Whigs in the same way as the candles had burnt (pp.157,160,175 and 230).

The usual string of recusants whose names appeared throughout the last Calendar, continue to be recorded at every Session except Ann Howes whose name disappears in 1713. On the other hand, the names of Robert Burnham of Hughenden (p.3), Robert Cutler of Drayton Parslow (p.l03), and Ambrose Smith of Great Marlow (p.172) appear from time to time.

At the Easter Session 1713 the constable of Steeple Claydon produced a certificate that the reason for the absence of John Aris from church was on account of a defect of hearing (p.38) and not from any objection to attend Divine Service.

A further Act, 1 George I Statute 2, Cap. 55 enacted that all Papists should register their names and real estate, and an adjourned Session was held at the Town Hall, Aylesbury on 15 June 1717 for the purpose of recording their names (p.188).

The rise in Non-Conformity is indicated by the number of houses which were licensed by the magistrates as “Meeting Houses”. Over 25 houses were so licensed in the period under review. A newly-erected house in Crendon

Lane, Chepping Wycombe (p.88), and the house of a dissenting preacher at Ashendon (p.141) are also mentioned.

It is obvious that although the Peace Treaty of Utrecht was signed, the Army had by no means been disbanded, and the cost of transporting the baggage of troops moving through the county - over and above what was paid by the regiment (i.e. 1s. a mile), - fell as a heavy burden upon the rates.

Mention is made of the regiments of Brigadier Hill (pp.9-10), the Earl of Rivers (pp.16 and 28), the Earl of Northumberland (p.18), Colonel Dort (p.144), the Earl of Stafford’s dragoons (p.107), Colonel Kerr’s dragoons (p.185), the Prince of Wales Own Welsh Fusiliers (p.205) and of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards (pp.48 and 93).

The pensions of disabled soldiers and seamen also cost a considerable amount of money. An apothecary of Wendover was paid his expenses in attending to a poor soldier who by reason of sickness was unable to march any further north to Scotland with his majesty’s troops (p.153).

Samuel Day who had served as a sailor for 30 years was granted a pension of £2.5s.6d. (p.83) while another who had been discharged from H. M. S. Elizabeth “near the Hope” received help to send him on his way to Liverpool his place of normal settlement (p.112).

The theory that old soldiers never die is borne out by the case of William Leaver of Aylesbury, a veteran from the Civil Wars. In 1716 his pension was £6 a year but by 1718 it had been raised to £12 in view of the fact that he had reached his 100th birthday (pp.165,193,207).

James Robinson, a sailor who was blown up in the Sevallo Galley off Cape Cleare in Ireland, asked for help to get to London where he intended to board a man of war or a passage boat to go to New England (p.169).

On the whole the behaviour of the inhabitants was good. The most usual offences dealt with by the Justices were confined to poaching and minor assaults. Punishments were usually restricted to fines but occasionally the Justices appear to have indulged in an outburst of severity, as when Hannah Whitmell of Winterborne was ordered to be whipped “in full and open market at Winslowe” for stealing a few items of household goods, the property of Dr. William Holloway of Great Horwood (p.146). Several disorderly persons at North Marston made a brutal attack on horses which had been impounded in the village pound. They cut off their ears and sheared their manes and tails. They also pulled down buildings and smashed up gates. In order to suppress such desperate acts, the constables were authorized to enlist six able residents for a year to assist them in keeping watch during the night. It is satisfactory to note however, that at the following Sessions this precaution was suspended owing to the improvement in the situation (pp.27,33).

Other cases of pound-breaking were reported when Edward Allome of Steeple Claydon removed his sheep which had been impounded by the constables (pp.91,104) and when Abel London of Pitstone removed two geldings from the pound, the property of John Saywell (p.91).

Sir John Chetwood (Chittwood) bart. was presented for not keeping the Pound belonging to the Manor of Chetwode in repair (p.150).

___________________________________

At the Easter Session 1715 the Gaoler reported that 20 “notorious offenders” made a desperate attempt to escape but the plot was discovered in time. However, the offenders made breaches in the walls which necessitated extra watches by day and night. The gaoler received £4.13s.4d. to pay for the extra guards, £2.18s.3d. towards the repairs of the breaches, and £3.7s.0d. for strengthening the guard (pp.118,172,185).

The house of William Benson, a gentleman of Aylesbury, continued to be used as the County Gaol and so it is not surprising that escapes were attempted (p.40 etc.).

The gaoler appears to have had moments of compassion for the health of the inmates and on one occasion when a prisoner was “taken with the small pox” he removed him to another house and provided for him throughout the period of his sickness. The patient died but the gaoler asserted that by his prompt action he saved the lives of a great number of prisoners who had “never had the distemper” (p.193). Apparently the overseers of the poor had to discharge the expenses of persons suffering from smallpox (p.133).

The Bridewell Keeper of Chepping Wycombe showed sympathy when a “notorious cheat”, one Elizabeth Turner who was arrested “sorely afflicted with the falling sicknesse and convulsions and in a poore naked condition”. He provided two nurses to look after and maintained her in his own house (p.143).

In 1717 Jeremiah Francis successfully petitioned for permission to apply to the Lord Chancellor for a “brief” to collect charitable donations to recompense him for the losses he had incurred by a fire at his paper and corn mills at Lowdwater in Chepping Wycombe. This had totally destroyed the paper warehouse, drying rooms, paper mills, water corn mills and the house wherein he lived, to the damage of over £467 (p.186).

Jonas Humfrey the elder, a baker, was reported for being negligent “of the fires in his house”, and for having a dangerous oven wherein he baked his bread, owing to the rotten timber and thatch which lay around the oven, “the whole town (Ivinghoe) is daily in danger of being burnt” (p.164).

A fight between two surgeons of Colnbrook is reported at the Midsummer Session 1716, but no details are given (p.161).

The repairs of highways, footpaths and bridges were the constant concern of the Justices. The mention of footpaths will no doubt assist local authorities in compiling the survey of these, which has now been made compulsory.

The County acknowledged their responsibilities to repair certain bridges but many others had to be attended to by the local landowners. If they neglected this duty they were brought before the Justices, as for instance, when the inhabitants of Beachampton failed to repair a bridge, which was appropriately enough called “Broken Bridge”. The damage was caused by the miller allowing the river to overflow its banks (pp.62,69,77,84,94,104).

The methods adopted for the upkeep of Highbridge near Denham would not perhaps be those approved by the

V

___________________________________

County Surveyor today. His predecessor was paid £2.8s.0d. for several loads of gravel which he appears to have placed on top of the timber planks of the bridge to preserve them (p.159).

Persons who attempted to enclose common land or to build upon it, were fined or ordered to restore the Common to the condition it was in before.

Two inhabitants of Newton Longeville were had up for enclosing the Common and obstructing the Church way (p.l50).

References to unusual weather are made in the records, as, for instance, the unusually heavy fall of snow in January 1716. All fines imposed on jurymen who failed to attend the Session had to be respited “in regard the extremity of the weather and of the great snow that has fallen whereby the highways are impassable” (p.144). These conditions also prevented people attending to take the oaths of allegiance, and consequently a Special Session had to be held in “the Great Chamber at the Bull at Olney” (p.144,148).

The administration of the poor law was the most expensive item to be faced by the County Treasurer. The system whereby a vagrant had to be conveyed to the place of his legal settlement, and whereby the cost of such conveyance within the bounds of the county had to be borne by that County, fell particularly heavily on Buckinghamshire with all its important main roads. Unfortunately the contactors who were appointed to undertake the work do not appear to have been content with their legitimate earnings, and to have overcharged to a large extent. Regulations were continually being tightened up and all bills had to be passed by the Justices. On one occasion the bills put forward by the contractors were cut down by as much as 50 per cent. Eventually contracts were made to carry out the work for a fixed amount per year.

The Justices also had to certify any vagrant or cripple before he was handed over to the contractors and a receipt had to be obtained from the constable to whom the vagrant was delivered. At the Michaelmas Session 1714, the examination of many vagrants as to their circumstances is recorded in the rolls of the Sessions. This makes interesting reading and Shows many ex-service men and some “Pensioners of Chelsea College” (pp.97-98).

Another scandal connected with the passes was that it was possible to buy these for 2s.6d. a time (p.58) but those caught travelling with counterfeit passes were committed to the House of Correction (p.84).

Mis-appropriation of public money is reported against the Collector of Rates for Great Marlowe (pp.126-7,133) while the “Sheriffs Steward” was accused of extortion (p.131).

While most inhabitants appear to have accepted local offices in good grace, some were anxious to avoid such duties. Samuel Dodson of Eton refused to serve as constable, as he claimed that he was “a brother of Trinity House” and has an “Act of parlyment to stand by him” (p.82) when served with a warrant compelling him to serve he “thrust the door” against the retiring constable.

A problem which faced many a constable was the conveyance of women, great with child. The accounts of Henry Miles the constable of Little Brickhill in the such case are given in full: For meat drink washing and

VI

necessaries at 6s. a week for 3 weeks amounted to 18s.0d.: the nurse at 2s.6d. a week, 7s.6d.: clothes, linen and woollen for the child 10s.6d.: the midwife 1s. and the parson and clerk for baptising the child 2s.0d. (p.158).

The lives of vagrants are sometimes given in all their pathetic details, as for instance Mary, the wife of Mathew Parish, a weaver of Ivinghoe. Before her marriage with Parish she had been the wife of a travelling shoemaker, but when he found she was with child, he enlisted and was shipped off to Portugal where he was killed. She later married Parish, but he left her destitute (p.123).

Another curious case is noticed when Richard Juffs and his family were charged with vagrancy. Juffs pleaded that he owned property at Stone cum Bishopstone, but that several persons had “got into their power the deeds evidences and writings” which would have proved his title in the estate (p.159).

The case of a seaman who had been captured by the Barbary Pirates, and kept as a slave in Algiers for over three years until rescued by Sir John Jennings in the “blenheim” was considered by the Justices. He asked for assistance on his journey from Bristol to Yarmouth (p.80).

A romantic story lay behind the case of Elizabeth, the wife of Edward Turner, a maimed and disabled soldier in St. Thomas Hospital, who asked for relief. She alleged that she was the daughter of Samuel Rolle Esquire of Piddleton in Dorset, and that the said Edward was butler to her father. At the age of 15 she ran away with him and married him in Ireland (p.111).

Some light is thrown on the question of hiring domestic servants, when Martha Waterman was accused of vagrancy. It was explained that she had been a chambermaid in the house of Mr. Samuel Hosey for several years, but that Mr. Hosey never engaged his maids for any fixed time “nor for any certaine wages, but to goe a way or be turned away at either of their pleasures”. Maids so employed were only provided by Mr. Hosey with their “vailes” (pp.8-9).

An insight into the entertainment of the young in Aylesbury is given in the report by Mary Blye of the conduct of one Christopher Foster, who broke into her house and abused and insulted her. He then went up to her chamber, and was rude to several children who were learning to dance (p.189).

Persons who profaned the Sabbath were brought to justice, but the case against Thomas Miller of Cuddington caused the Justices some embarrassment. He had been accused of encouraging the inhabitants to visit his Inn on Sundays during the time of Divine Service, under the guise of giving them their Sunday shave. His accusers alleged that he actually encouraged them to tipple and to play unlawful games. His licence was removed, but Miller appealed and proved that the complaint against him was malicious. The Justices were most sympathetic and favoured the restoration of his licence but the Clerk pointed out that by law no licence could be restored except after a period of three years. The Clerk was ordered to attend upon the Lord Chief Justice to obtain a ruling (p.119).

___________________________________

A bargeman of Oxford and his son were prosecuted for enticing persons to play “cups and balls” (p.13) while two inhabitants of Winslowe were found playing “thimbale and bale” (p.14). Others were accused of playing cards in a disorderly alehouse “at undue hours during the night” (p.23).

Several cases concerning apprenticeships were considered by the Court. Complaints were made of harsh behaviour by masters, and of ill-behaviour by the apprentices.

Among unusual trades found in the Calendar mention may be made of a “Bibliopola of Eton” (p.70) and a “chartarius” of Great Brickhill (p.79). According to the New English Dictionary the former is a “seller of rare books” while the meaning of the latter is obscure, unless it be a paper maker or a law stationer.

Several cases of the loss of goods on which duty had been paid were brought before the Justices, in order that the duty might be reclaimed. The “Unicorn” barge carrying 32 quarters of malt was sunk in Boulters Lock (p.41), and the “Rose and Crowne was likewise sunk at Great Marlowe, causing the loss of 410 quarters of malt on passage to London (p.153).

Attempts to defraud the officers of the excise were also reported as for instance when Henry Fellows of Beaconsfield and Hugh Shrimpton of Chipping Wycombe were fined for “mixeing together” corn of “severall wettings” (pp.8,17). Thomas Day, a victualler of Little Missenden, was reported by the Collector of Excise for making and selling “sweets” without having given notice to the Excise officer (p.112).

Lists of debtors in the Gaol with the names of the creditors are given for the first time in the Sessions Records. This is no doubt due to the Act (10 Anne Cap 29) recently passed for the relief of insolvent debtors (pp.21,29,35 etc.)

In this Preface the Editor has only attempted to mention a few of the many items of interest which are to be found in these records. It is hoped that the index will give a more general indication of those episodes which have been omitted from the Preface.

It is with considerable satisfaction that I have been informed of the decision of the General Purposes Committee to continue the Calendar in its present form down to the year 1731, when the use of the Latin language in official documents was finally abolished in this country. It is believed that after this date, as all documents are recorded in English, the average student should have no great difficulty in deciphering the originals.

My deep thanks are due to members of the Committee and to the Clerk of the Peace for the patient manner with which they have borne with the various delays and difficulties which have arisen in the compilation of the Calendar. It is believed that from now onwards the work will make more regular progress.

pp.374-7. On the appeal of the inhabitants of Granborough alias Greenborough against the removal order of John Chappell from Mursley to Granborough, William Huggins, Sussannah wife of John Chappell and several others stated that John Chappell before his marriage had been legally settled at Granborough where he had been hired and lived in service for a year, receiving a year's wages. The inhabitants of Granborough insisted that after his marriage he gained legal settlement within the parish of Mursley. It appeared true that Sir John Fortescue, knight and baronet, by indenture duly executed and dated 24th September 1667, did demise and grant to Robert Edens, then his servant, his executors and assignees, one cottage with the appurtenances (of a small value not exceeding 30 shillings per annum) situated within the parish of Mursley wherein the said Robert Edens then lived, for the term of 99 years at the yearly rent of twelve pence payable in every year at Michaelmas.

By virtue of that demise, the said Robert Edens became possessed of the said cottage and afterwards by

Easter Session, 2nd may 1717 [3 George I]

deed poll in 1689 did give the cottage with its appurtenances to Nicholas Godwyne, his executor and assignee for the remainder of the said term of 99 years in trust to and for the use of Mary, his wife, for her life and after her decease to William Edens his son for the residue of the 99 years. The said William Edens was to pay to Elizabeth and Ann Edens, his sisters, the daughters of the said Robert Edens, five pounds apiece within 9 months after his decease.

Soon after the execution of the deed poll, Robert Edens died and Mary, his wife, removed and became possessed of the cottage. On her death her son William Edens became possessed of it but in a short time died intestate and his widow, Susannah, now wife of John Chappell took forth letters of administration and became possessed of the said cottage and appurtenances subject to the payment of five pounds apiece to Elizabeth and Ann Edens. To enable her to pay off the five pounds apiece and to clear the said cottage, by indenture dated 11th May 1709 in consideration of £15 paid to her by Nicholas Tyms, she granted for 24 years to the said Nicholas Tyms, the cottage 'excepting one Bay of Building being the Southend or part thereof conteyneing one Upper Roome one Lower Roome with a Leanetoo which she reserved thereont for a habitation for herself with some other priviledges' for the yearly rent of one peppercorn. The said Sussannah paid the £5 apiece to the said Elizabeth and Ann but the interest amounting to £3 that had accrued to them from the time the same became payable was left unpaid.

After some time, Sussannah married John Chappell and constantly paid the reserved rent of twelve pence per annum until the said John Chappell was removed by the removal order to Granborough. Counsel for the said John Chappell stated this to be contrary to the law, he having possessory right in the right of his wife to the said cottage and could not be removed during any time during the residue of the said term of 99 years. This was agreed to by counsel on either side.

It was ordered that the removal warrant be confirmed. It was further ordered with the consent of counsel on either side that a writ of certiorari at the joint and equal costs of both parishes, be brought and returned to remove the said order from this court and in the meantime the said John Chappell, notwithstanding the order, to have liberty to be and remain at the parish of Mursley until the judgment of the Court of Kings Bench be known.

The appeal of Stone cum Bishopstone against the warrant removing Richard Jeffs with his wife and four children from Cheddington to Stone cum Bishopstone respited to the next sessions on payment of four shillings by Cheddington to the officers of Stone cum Bishopstone [see p.330]. (Sess.R. 60/116}

APPENDIX IV

TRAVERSE ROLLS

These parchment membranes were interspersed among rolls 60-63 and were not in order of date.

They record the proceedings on an indictment where the accused person pleads “Not Guilty”. In other words he “traverses his indictment” because he pleads that the crimes of which he is accused have been wrongly stated in the indictment or because he says he is not guilty of the offences as alleged in the indictment.

Similar rolls are found in other counties but these generally include the final judgments and are called “judgment Rolls”.

The original numbers have been retained in pencil on the parchments but new numbers in chronological sequence have been added.

It is to be remarked that the names of the accused persons, the prosecutors and the nature of the crimes committed are recorded on the Sessions Rolls and Sessions Books.
