Note 510 — ERRATA AND CORRIGENDA.

In the North Riding, at Quarter Sessions orders were frequently made for the building of houses for particular poor people. Thus in the Court held April 17th and 18th, 1610, the overseers and churchwardens of Bagby were commanded "to find or provide Alice Cooke, being a poore widowe, of a house." Quarter Sessions Records, North Riding, Vol. I. p. 189. On July 20, 1619, also an order was made that the churchwardens and overseers of Startforth shall provide a convenient dwelling house for Ellen Winter before Michaelmas. At the same court the overseers of Easbie were told to collect 82s. 10d. from various townships in order to pay for a house for two poor men which had been already built by order of the justices. Ib. Vol. II. p. 211. Like orders continued to be made through the reign of Charles I. and under the Commonwealth. Ib. Vol. V. pp. 62, 255.
