THE MONTHLY ASSESSMENTS FOR THE RELIEF OF IRELAND RAISED IN THE DIVISION OF WARMINSTER, 1648. Transcribed from the original MS. in the possession of Capt. J. Benett Stanford, of Pythouse, by T. H. BAKER. THE original consists of ten sheets of parchment 2 feet in length and 5 inches broad. The names are all well preserved and the amounts assessed-except a few items which I have marked-down to the last folio, when the latter half is missing; apparently this consists of one parish, probably North Bradley. The sheets are written on both sides. They are here exactly transcribed. It will be noticed that many of the totals are wrongly cast up.-T. H. B.
