Note {11} — HISTORY OF SIR CONOLLY RACKRENT
Reading edition
HER MARK.—It was the custom in Ireland for those who could not write to make a cross to stand for their signature, as was formerly the practice of our English monarchs. The Editor inserts the facsimile of an Irish mark, which may hereafter be valuable to a judicious antiquary— Her Judy X M’Quirk, Mark. In bonds or notes signed in this manner a witness is requisite, as the name is frequently written by him or her.]
