WEDDING TROUSSEAU OF A LADY c. 1630.

THERE is considerable reason for supposing -the following bill, headed " Wedding Clothes for her," is in the handwriting of Paulus Ambrosius Croke, some interesting extracts from whose accounts were published ante, pp. 5, 36. It is fairly certain that the " her " of the paper was Lucy, his eole daughter and heiress, born of his second wife Susanna, daughter of Thomas Coo of Boxford, Surrey. Lucy's marriage licence is dated 17 Feb., 6 Charles (1630), and a loose leaf torn from a pocket-book reads : " Edw. Heath was married to Lucy Croke, the -only daughter of Paul Amb. Croke, the 21st of February, being Shrove ilunday, in the yeare of our Lord 1630."

Her husband Edward Heath was son of Sir Robert Heath, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. He was born Sept. 2, 1612. This torn and crumpled paper is a useful contribution to the history of prices, and also affords no little insight into marriage costume at the date. Many of the items are wrongly carried out. The totals are also wrong, but the copy is faithful to the -original.
