LAWYERS EMPLOYED BY

WINCHESTER COLLEGE DURING THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY.

THE old Account-rolls of Winchester College usually contain, under the heading ' Feoda,' A record of the officials, chiefly lawyers, whose services were remunerated by an annual fee. At 11 S. xii. 496, I happened to quote the entries under that heading for the year 1415-6; and this led to my re- oeiving privately from another contributor, who is collecting information about the practices of mediaeval lawyers (cf. 11 S. xii. 400), the suggestion that I should compile a list of the lawyers whom the College -employed during the fifteenth century. Hence the subjoined list, which is offered in the hope that it may be of interest to others

as well as to my friend H. C N. Among

the names occurring in it are those of six men who eventually reached the judicial

bench. But I have not limited the list strictly to lawyers. It includes all the persons who are mentioned in the Account- rolls under ' Feoda ' down to the year 1500-1. As I occasionally refer in my notes to P.C.C. wills, I ought to explain that these references are derived from the British Record Society's Index ; it seemed useful to add them, but I have had no opportunity of examining the contents of the wills.

1. 1394-5, William Pope, steward (" senes- callus Collegii " ; " tenens curias et super- videns rectorias et maneria"); fee, 41., last paid in 1403-4 (roll of 1404-5 missing).

2. 1398-9, John Dekene, steward of Downton, Combe (i.e., Coombe-Bissett), and Eling manors ; fee, from 26s. Sd. to 40s., not paid after 1403-4.

3. 1398-9, Mr. John Peyngeston (Penkes- ton, Penxton), " advocatus " ; in and after 1405-6, advocate in the Consistory Court, Winchester ; fee, 13s. 4c?., last paid in 1407-8 (roll of 1408-9 missing).

4. 1398-9, Mr. Thomas Hurseley, notary ; fee, 13s. 4d., last paid in 1418-9 (rolls of 1419-20 and 1420-1 missing).

5. 1398-9, John Sutton, attorney in the Common Bench ; fee, 6s. Sd. in 1398-9 and 13s. 4d. later, last paid (with extra " reward " of 3s. 4d.} in 1406-7.

6. 1399-1400, Thomas Banke (Banks, Bang), attorney in the Exchequer ; fee, 6s. 8d., last paid in 1423-4. Probably identical with Thomas Banke, who became baron of the Exchequer in 1424 (Foss, ' Judges of England '). For a like promo- tion, see No. 69 below ; and in connexion with such promotions see Inderwick's remarks about the early barons of the Exchequer in his ' Introduction ' to ' Calen- dar of Inner Temple Records,' i. xxxix.

7. 1400-1, Richard Wallop, counsel " consiliarius ") ; no fee recorded ; men- tioned in 1405-6 with note " nil : obiit," and lastly in 1406-7 with note " nil adhuc." Presumably not the same as No. 27 below.

8. 1403-4, Walter Holmes, attorney in the Common Bench ; fee, 6s. Sd. ; not mentioned in 1405-6 (roll of 1404-5 missing). Cf. No. 14 below.

9. 1403-4, John Broughton, counsel (" jurisperitus existens de consilio Collegii ") ; fee, 13s. 4d. ; in 1406-7, " nil quia decessit."

10. 1403-4, William Stokes, counsel ; fee, 13s. 4rf. ; in 1405-6 became steward of the College manors in Middlesex and Berks ; fee, 26s. Sd., last paid in 1412-3.
