Extract

Some of those present may perhaps remember that nearly three years ago I read to the Society some specimens of Chancery Bills in the fifteenth century, in order to show the kind of information which they afford about the methods of business and the social habits of the period.

page 363 note a I cannot find in the calendar any saint of this name, though it is frequently mentioned in connexion with Upchurch, as I am informed by Mr. Leland L. Duncan. In a paper in Archaeologia Cantiana, xxv. 88, the late Mr. Cumberland Woodruff suggests that St. Spiridion is meant. This saint was bishop of Trimithus in Cyprus in the fourth century, and is commemorated on December 14 by the Latin Church, and on December 12 by the Greek Church. This suggestion does not commend itself to me as probable, but I can make no other.
