XXV. Transcripts of Three Papers from Manuscripts in the British Museum: communicated in a Letter from Sir Henry Ellis, Secretary, to W. R. Hamilton, Esq. V.P.

Extract

In the absence of other communications, I beg to lay before our Society, through your hands, transcripts of two or three papers, each having some interest in their contents.

The first relates to the purchase of chantry lands by the corporate bodies of the city of London.

The second is a letter of a priest to the Earl of Arundel, in 1588, whom he had falsely accused whilst undergoing the punishment of the rack in the Tower.

The third relates to the state and affairs ecclesiastical of the isles of Guernsey and Jersey from the Reformation to the time of James the First.
