Note 236.5 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 5)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter must have been written immediately after the taking of the inquisition referred to in the preceding. The list of the jury who took it is on a separate paper found apart from this letter, in which it was enclosed. The names of those indicated as sworn are identical with those on the official record (Inquisitions post-mortem, 38 and 39 Hen. VI., No. 48), but seven additional names are included, besides one that is struck out.

236.6 The inquisition.—See p. 199, Note 2.

236.7 Richard Southwell.—See p. 191.

237.1 This is a panel of the jury drawn up before the inquisition was taken. The heading and the word ‘jur’’ opposite the names of those sworn have been added afterwards.

237.2 This name is scored out with the pen.
