Archdeacon Nares explains Shovel-board to be "a common trivial game, which consisted in pushing or shaking pieces of money on a board to reach certain marks. Shovel-board play is graphically described in a poem entitledMensa Lubrica, &c. written both in Latin and English by Thomas Master. The English Poem is cited at large in Bliss's edition ofAnth. Wood, vol. iii. p. 84. The table had lines or divisions marked with figures, according to the value of which the player counted his game. It is minutely described by Strutt,Sports and Pastimes, p. 267, as still in use in pot houses, and played with a smooth halfpenny. The game was also called Shove-groat, Shove-board, and Shuffle-board."Glossary.

People supposed to be healed by the King's touch from the disease, thence called the King's Evil. "Andrew Borde, who wrote hisIntroduction to Knowledge, in king's reign, states, that 'the Kinges of England, by the power that God hath gyven to them, doth make sicke men whole of a syckness called the Kynges evyll.' This extract and the entry above are sufficient to prove, were other evidence wanting, that Dr. Percy was much mistaken in supposing that 'this miraculous gift was left to be claimed by the Stuarts." Some curious matter upon this subject is collected in a note by Nichols,Literary Anecdotes,195, II. 504, Reed, Shak. X. 243, and see 195. Amongst the Conway papers (MSS) there is an order for a proclamation,dated 13th May, 1625, to forbid the repair of people to court till Michaelmas following, to be healed of the King's Evil, and that for the future all shall bring certificates from the minister, &c. of the parish, for that many being healed, have disposed of their pieces of gold otherwise than was intended,and thereby fall into relapse.' Sir Kenelm Digby informed Mons. Moncenys, that if the person cured lost the piece of gold, the complaint immediately returned. Moncenys'Travels, t. ii. p. 20.

For the following Note relative to this individual, the Editor is indebted to Joseph Gwilt, Esq. F.S.A. a descendant of his family:"Thomas Smith, whose name so frequently occurs in these accounts, was most probably afterwards of Campden, Co. Gloucester; he had also a grant of the manor of Lyersocle, Co. Heref. jointly with his son-in-law, Hugh Walshe, which was confirmed in the 35th of the same king. That Smythe was a man of considerable importance, may be inferred as well from his matrimonial alliances, as from the inscription on his monument, in which he is described, 'a pueritiâ suâ aulicus.' In the College of Arms there is a grant to Thomas Smith, by Christopher Barker, dated Boulogne 1544, and afterwards confirmed by Gilbert Dethick, from which it appears that he was at Boulogne in that year; probably attendant on the court there. Elizabeth, the first wife of Thomas Smith, was daughter and coheir of Eustace Fitzherbert, and relict of Edward Smith, of Cresing Temple, Co. Essex, by whom she had two children. By Thomas Smith it is not clear from the pedigrees, which exhibit some discrepances, that shehad issue. His second wife was Katharine, daughter of Sir George Throckmorton, of Coughton, relict of Robert Winter, of Hoddington; Co. Wigorn, by whom he had a numerous family. He was Sheriff of Gloucestershire in the years 1571 and 1593 and died 1593. Over the place of his interment near the altar of Campden Church, on the north side, is a canopied monument of the time with his figure in knight's armour of the size of life. On the compartments between the pedestals under the columns are bassi relievi, representing his two wives, seven sons and six daughters. On the western face of the monument, are the arms of Smith, viz. a Fess between three Saltires; and in another escotcheon, the Crest, viz. two Amphibamies indorsant. On the south side are three escotcheons, the westernmost with the arms of Smith. The next towards the altar, Smith impaling Throckmorton; and Olney, Spyne and Bosson, quarterly. The last, Smith's impaling Fitzherbert in the first and fourth, and two other coats quarterly. Against the north wall of the chancel is the following inscription:—'Hic jacet vir verus Christianus Thomas Smith Armiger quondam Manerii di Campden Dominus, a pueritiâ suâ aulicus, qui suo tempore fuit e consiliis Regis Marchiæ Walliæ bisque Vicecomes comitatus Gloucestriæ, ac justiciarius pacis ejusdem comitatus usque ad extremum ætatis, qui habuit duas uxores; primam Elizabetham Filiam et hæredem Eustatii Fitzherbert Armigeri, secundam Katharinam filiam Georgii Throckmorton Militis cum filiis et filiabus ut hic patet qui obit die ... Anno Dom. MDXCIII.'There is little, doubt that this Thomas Smith was the father of Henry Smith, Esq. an Alderman of London, who is buried at Wandsworth, and whose extensive charitable benefactions in Surrey and elsewhere are universally known. He bore the same arms with a difference, as appears by the funeral certificate, in the College of Arms, Register i. 23. 30, and there are many other circumstances which tend to strengthen such a conjecture."It appears from theBook of Quarterly Paymentsfrom the 29th to the 33rd Henry VIII. in the library of the Royal Society, that Smith was a Page of the Chamber, and received 10l.per annumfor his wages; and it is manifest from these entries that like Smeton and the two Williamses, he was a peculiar favourite of Henry, for all his apparel was paid for out of the privy purse, and he accompanied the King to Calais in October 1532.

Apparently Sir William Spencer of Althorp, ancestor of the Duke of Marlborough and Earl Spencer. He was knighted in 1529, and in the 23rd and 24th Henry VIII. was Sheriff of Northamptonshire. Sir William died, however, on the 22nd June 1532, a month before his servant is said to have brought a present to the King. His son and heir was then very young, hence these gifts were probably sent by his mother or guardians.

A Stalking Horse, Archdeacon Nares informs us, was "sometimes a real horse, sometimes the figure of one cut out and carried by the sportsman for the following purposes. On being found that wild fowl which would take early alarm at the appearance of man, would remain quiet when they saw only a horse approaching, advantage was taken of it, for the shooter to conceal himself behind a real or artificial horse, and thus to get within shot of his game." In theGentleman's Recreationboth kinds of stalking horses, and the manner of using them, are fully explained. All these entries on the subject seem to refer to a real horse, and we learn from one of them that an ox was employed for the same purpose. Astalking horseoccurs in the list of Henry's horses in theOrdinances made at Eltham, in the 17th Henry VIII. p.200.
