XVil REPORT ORSON” SECKEPARY. mye Sixteenth anniversary of the Society was held (by kind permission of the Committee of Technical Instruction) in the School of Art on Monday, Feb- ruary 19th, 1894. Sir John G. N. Alleyne, Bart., presided. The report for the past year was read and adopted. The Meeting confirmed the provisional election by the Council of the Rev. G. A. Shaw to seat vacant by resignation of Mr. Burbidge Hambly, and elected the Rev. Reginald H. C. FitzHerbert to the seat vacant by the appointment of Lord Hawkesbury (Mr. Foljambe) to be a Vice-President. All the Members of Council retiring under Rule V., Messrs. Arnold- Bemrose, Fletcher, Sir A. S. Haslam, J. Bailey, G. Bailey, W. Bemrose, J. Borough, and Dr. Cox, were re-elected, as also were the Hon. Sec., Hon Sec. of Finance, Hon. Treasurer, and the Auditors. Four new members of the Society were elected. Mr. A. E. Cokayne gave some sketches from Dr. Denman’s Diary, “emp. 1760-80, after which Mr. Arnold-Bemrose delivered a most interesting Lecture, very fully illustrated by lantern pictures, upon ‘‘ Old Volcanoes of Derbyshire.” The Council has met five times during the past year, with a fair average attendance of the elected members. The Society held an expedition on Wednesday, June 2oth, to Breedon and Langley Priory. The party left Derby at 1 pm. in brakes, and drove to Breedon Church, where the vicar, the Rey. G. Crossley, received and conducted the visitors over the Church. Mr. Crossley read a carefully prepared and very instructive paper XVlil REPORT. upon the history and architecture of the Church, and exhibited various old plans and drawings of interest. The quaint, and all but unique family seat of Ferrers was, by permission, open to the Members, and this canopied, railed-in structure, excited much interest, as did various monuments to the Ferrers’ family. The earliest register at Breedon is dated 1562, and the Church also possesses an ancient (disused) pewter flagon. After a careful inspection of the Church, inside and out, the party drove on to Langley Priory, where Mr. and Mrs, Shakespear received and hospitably entertained all at tea. All the old work of the Priory that is still visible was inspected, and the beauty of the garden and grounds was highly appreciated. Leaving Langley, the return journey was, by special permission, made through Donington Park, Derby being reached shortly after seven o’clock. It was intended to hold an expedition to Belvoir during the past summer, but it was ascertained that the spring would be a more suitable time, and the expedition has accordingly been postponed, to take place, it is hoped, in May or June this year. A second expedition, in October, was arranged to visit Sandiacre, but an insufficient number of names being sent in, this expedi- tion was abandoned. So far, no further steps have been taken towards the suggested pulling down and removal of the Church and Churchyard of Osmaston-by-Derby. Your Council appointed a Sub-Committee, who visited the place, and were, if possible, more firmly convinced than before of the duty of protesting against the demolition. Interments took place in the Churchyard in 1894, and the foot- paths round are all in constant use, the Church itself being in good order, restored, and well fitted, as well as of considerable interest. Your Council is glad to have no other destructive work to speak upon, though certainly we must all regret the disappearance, fram Derby Market Place, of Storer’s old bow windows, as one bit more of Old Derby gone. A photo. of the interesting old stucco work above the bow window has been secured. Some, but small progress has been made in the proposed REPORT. xix transcription of the Charity Boards in the County. The names of any members or friends willing to help will be gladly received. Our obituary this last year has been above the average. We have lost ten of our Members, including two Members of Council —Mr. A. E. Cokayne and Mr. Keene. Both were present at our last anniversary, and Mr. Cokayne spoke. Mr. Keene had been on the Council since our Society was founded, and was very rarely absent from our meetings. No one took a truer interest in every part of our work ; no one gave more kindly help, or more reliable advice. We must, one and all, miss and regret him. The present financial position of the Society has been the subject of careful and serious consideration in the past year, and your Council has felt compelled, most reluctantly, to order, at least for this year, the issue of a decidedly smaller and less costly volume than usual. The editor has most loyally complied with the Council’s decision, and has spared no more pains over the _ very careful production of vol. xvii. than he has over any one of his former issues. Members are asked to exert themselves to secure a large addition to the roll of our numbers, so that an increased annual income may speedily relieve the present difficulty. If this suggestion is acted upon, your Council will have reason to be well satisfied with the result of the seventeenth year of our proceedings. ARTHUR COX, Hon. Sec.

After o* verie hartie Comendacoiis to y’ good L. although the leavy of foote at this tyme for the supply of her Ma‘ forces in Irland be more then her (yf it might be forborne) would by her will impoase vppon her people, neverthelesse the necessitie of the service enforceinge her to provide somewhat furth™ to require some ayde of horse, it may not seeme burthensome to any of her good subiects to yeeld thervnto, ffor w‘" purpose her Ma** hath giuen vs authority & commandm! vnder her owne Roiall hand to write o' lfes vnto y’' L. and others accordinge to theffect followinge, ffirst yo" L. shall vnd'stand that her Ma‘* is pleased that we should require by thease o* lfes at the hands of the Countie of Derby vnder yo" L. lieutenancie for the service of Ireland the number of fower horses or geldings, wherin as her Ma** litle doubteth to receaue satisfaction (beinge mynded therby to observe the measure of all their good wills from whome the same shall either be denied or willinglie assented vnto, So her Ma‘ hath most gratious & speciall regard therin to the ease of the cofhon charge of the whole Countie, for wheras the charge of the leavie of foote lyeth generally vppon the Contrie & vppon all sorts of men that are of any reasonable habilitie, her Ma‘ will by no meanes that this charge for horse be so laid, but that it be imposed vppon some such speciall gentlemen & others as you shall knowe to be of most sufficient meanes and habilitie to beare it, exceptinge DERBYSHIRE MUSTERS. 35 onlie such as can shewe vnto yo" L. at this tyme some speciall lfes wherin they are also pticulerly charged for horse, not doubtinge but some fewe may be founde by yo" L. that both are verie hable wout hinderance at all vnto them, & will be for her Ma‘ service & their owne Interest in the comon cause, most readie to declare the measure of their affection in the tyme when they pceaue so greate a necessitie, And for- asmuch as the trooble will be lesse & the expedicon of the service more by yeeldinge money to provide & furnish the horses than by sendinge the bodies of the horses themselves, wt may (by many accidents in the carriage) prove worse at the place of Rendezvous than they weare before & so disgrace the senders; her Ma‘ pleasure therfore is that yo" Lo: shall take order for so much money to be levied onlie amongst psons of such sort & qualitie as is before mencioned as may serve for the providinge & furnishing of the said fower horses after the rate of thirtie pounds a horse & cause the same to be sent vp hither to the Treasurer of her Ma‘ Chamber by the last of this instant moneth, wherin her Ma** doth require at yo" Lo: hands, & charges you vppon the regard you ought to haue of yo" owne conscience & of yo" dutifull allegeance to her highnes, to proceede vprightlie wout anie parciallitie in the layinge of this charge wheare it may be least burthensome theare being nothinge more greevous to her mynde at any tyme then to heare as often shee doth that many of thease contribucons are layed vppon thoase that are far lesse hable than thoase that are spared, of w™ we assure yo’ L: her Ma‘® hath by her owne lies enioyned vs above all things to enquire and informe her vppon o* duties towards her.

(The Lords of the Council to the Earl of Shrewsbury, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Derby.) (1599-1600, Jan: 14.) After o* verie hartie Comendacons to yo" good L: Such hath beene alwayes her Ma‘ care in the great occasions w™ her H®’ hath had theise late yeares, to vse the ayde of her lovinge Subiects for the. p'servaton of her Realme of Ireland, as shee hath forborne to impoase any furth" burthen vppon them, then the necessitie of the affaires did vrge her vnto. And although theare haue beene sundrie leavies of men made in the seuerall Counties of this Realme, for the service of that King- dome, neverthelesse through the continuance of the troubles theare her Ma‘* is enforced at this tyme to send newe supplies thither, w® for the more ease of the Realme are appointed to be levied in sundrie Counties, amongest the w™ the number of one hundreth, are appointed to be taken out of that Countie of Derby ynd' yo’ L: lieutenancie. ffor w‘® purpose although her Ma‘ hathe by her lfes giuen yo" L: sufficient authoritie to leavie the afforesaid number, yet for yo’ L: better information & the avoid- inge of such Inconvenience, & abuses, as haue beene committed in some Counties in the lyke leavies of men, her H* hath referred yo" L: to such direction as you shall receaue from vs, & hath DERBYSHIRE MUSTERS. 37 comanded vs to recomend to yo" care theis observacons follow- inge, w™ beinge carefullie by you considered, out of doubt the forces sent thither will be of better strength & service, & the Countreies should not neede to be so often visited w" theis Kinde of Imposicons. The first regard that is to be vsed, is in the carefull & good choise of the men, both to be of habilitie of bodie and lykelihoode, & not of loose people that are addicted to idlenes & lewdnes, & are often tymes taken vp rather to dis- burden the Countrey of such vnnecessarie people, then for choise of their aptnes & disposi¢on. This shalbe best performed, if the Justices in pson doe performe their indevoures, & not comitte the choise of the men to inferio’ officers. The next consideracon to be had, is to see them sorted w good Armo & weapons, accordinge to this proporcion, that in everie hundredthe theare may be twentie pykes armed w" corsletts, pouldrens, & good Murrions, ten halberts armed as the pykes, twelve musketts w™ good Murrions, twelve bastard musketts w good Murrions, & fortie Calliuers armed lykewise w™ good Murrions. And that theare may be verie p'cise Regard vsed to see them all furnished w" good swords and daggers, w for the most parte haue bene verie bad, & for no vse of service. And therefore we are earnestlie to require yo’ L: to be most carefull in the choise of that weapon, for such as shalbe founde vnfitte shalbe refused. And wheras theare doth remaine by this Reckoninge Six in euerie hundreth & three in euerie fiftie not sorted w™ weapons, they are to be provided of Targetts of wood, together w" other Armes, And because the Targetts are not to be had in Readines in the Countrey it shall suffice that so much money be sent to the Porte of Embarqueinge as may serve to buy the Targetts & the other Armes after the rate of xxx° for a man, w™ shalbe pro- vided heere & sent thither. And heere her Ma‘ callinge to mynde the great negligence that hath beene found in divers Counties of the Realme in settinge forth of souldiors in former services, in bare & naked sorte wherby they are boath vnhable to indure the could of the Contrey vnmeete for service, & subiect to 38 DERBYSHIRE MUSTERS. take diseases, & are discoarged in their service, seeinge oth' souldiers theare orderlie apparelled by her Ma‘ care : for redresse of this abuse & knowinge that euerie Contrie doth not yeeld so good prouisions as may be made about London, it hath been considered howe thease souldiers that are to be imployed in thease warres, for the defence of the Realme & hono' of her Mat may be sett forth in such sort as is meete for soldiers, & suteable w™ the rest that serve theare, the rath" for that by experi- ence it is founde that some kyndes of the apparell would be changed for the comoditie of the souldier although will prove to her Ma‘ further charge. And therfore we have taken order w” her Ma‘ merchaunts that do furnish the apparell for the souldiers servinge both theare & in oth" places, to provide good apparell at reasonable rates for the apparellinge of theis souldiers that are now appointed to be levied in the seuerall counties of the Realme, whereof we send yo" L: a liste to thende you may see the seuerall kynds & sorts of apparell (wherof her Ma‘* doth beare in euerie sute a proporcon) both to ease the Countrey & to haue the souldiers well furnished w™ shee doth allowe to the marchaunts besides that w* the country is to pay; this whole furniture shalbe readie at the Seaside & places of imbarqueinge, theare to be deliuered to the souldiers, wherby an other incon- venience shall be avoided, that if anie of the souldiers doe (in lewde maner) rune away, they shall not take the apparell with them, w* isto be deliuered vppon shipp boarde, the allowance the Countrey is to give amounteth to forti shillings a man, w™ some yo" L: shall cause to be levied in the Countie accordinge to the nomber that is allotted vnto yo" & to see the same sent vp hither vnto the hands of S' John Harte Knight alderman of London. Theis observacons beinge carefullie performed, the aforesaid nomber are to be in such a readines & p'pared as they may be at the Port of Chester by the last of february, wheare theare is shippinge prouided for their transportacon to that place in the Realme of Ireland wheare they are to be imployed. Herin we are to give yo’ L: speciall charge in regard of the manie faults that have been comitted DERBYSHIRE MUSTERS. 39 by the Conducto™ in exchanginge of men, and other abuses, that you wilbe verie carefull in makeinge choise of some discreete & sufficient person, to see them well & orderlie conducted thether, to whome theare shalbe allowance made of six shillings per diem, & they to be deliuered vnto him by Rolle indented, in w® Rolle yo' L: shall expresse the names & surnames of euerie souldier, and the parish wheare he is leavied, and giue conduct money to the soldiers after eight-pence the man by the day, for so manie daies as may serve them convenientlie to march vnto the aforesaide Porte, for w™ tyme also the conductor is to haue his allowance, And this Conduct money as well impresed by you to the souldiers as to the conducto’, w'" the Coate money (accordinge to her Ma* vsuall allowance of fower shillings for eurie Coate) shalbe repaied againe to such as yo" L: shall appoint to receaue the same by me the L: Threasurer, Lastlie because their shalbe occasion to vse the service of some Carpenters, Smithes, & Bricklaiers, we pray yo" L: to cause one of euerie of thease occupacons to be impresed amongst this nomber, Thus haveinge added to her Ma‘ lfes theis necessarie instructions, for yo" better direccon, we earnestlie do require yo" L: that speciall care may be vsed, to see them in all points thoroughly observed, And so we wish yo" good Lo: right hartelie well to fare.
