It is too generally known to require repetition, that when Wolsey fell into disgrace, the king seized upon all his effect. This item informs us that the servant who brought the Cardinal's chariot horses received 20s.

Sir William Kingston was sent by Henry to bring up, or in fact to take the Cardinal into custody, in November 1530, and found him at Sheffield Park, under thesurveillanceof the Earl of Shrewsbury. The particulars of his interview and subsequent proceedings, until death released his prisoner from the fangs of his tyrannical master, on Tuesday the 29th of that month, are fully related by Cavendish.—Ed. Singer, vol. i. p. 302,et seq.Kingston's expenses on that journey were, it seems, 41l.10s.10d.; but which were not paid him until the ensuing March.

Carew Sir Nicholas,119,bis.
A Knight of the Garter, Master of the Horse, and Lieutenant of Calais. He was, says the most elegant of living biographers, "Henry's constant companion in all the splendid and romantic sports of his court, administered successfully to his pleasures, and was not without some secret share in his councils."—Lodge's Illustrious Portraits.Carew, however, like so many of his contemporaries, afterwards incurred the royal displeasure, and that displeasure was, in his case too, but the prelude to disgrace and death. He was arrested upon a suspicion of high treason, and beheaded on the 3rd March, 1539. He married Elizabeth, the sister of Sir Francis Bryan, who has been before mentioned in these notes, by whom he left issue. Whether it was this lady or her mother-in-law, Magdalen, daughter of Sir Robert Oxenbridge, widow of Sir Richard Carew, who is alluded to in the following entry, is not certain, but most probably the latter.

Only two of these entries relate to expenses connected with this individual's official situation. The others were payments of money lost to him by the king at dice, cards, and bowls, excepting on one occasion, when money was paid him to be His Majesty's partner at one of these games. It is thus manifest that he enjoyed a large share of the king's personal favour. His name has not been precisely ascertained. Richard Hill, whose widow remarried Sir John Mason, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was Serjeant of the Cellar in this reign, but in what years is uncertain.

A Chape, is explained in Todd's Johnson to be "the catch of any thing by which it is held in its place, as the hook of a scabbard by which it sticks in the belt; the point by which a buckle is held to the back-strap;" also, "a brass or silver tip or case that strengthens the end of the scabbard of a sword." "'Chape' is sometimesapplied to the hook of a scabbard, and at others to what is by Heralds termed the crampet, in which case the other metallic pieces on the scabbard are called Lockets. Chape like Chapter, seems to be derived from Caput."—M*.

Doctor Percy in his notes on The Northumberland Household Book conjectures that a chariot "bore no resemblance to the modern carriage of that name, nor was intended for the same use, but was simply a large waggon drawn by six or seven of the stronger kind of horses, called, on that account, 'large trotting horses.'" Mr. Markland, in his dissertation on Carriages in England,Archæologia, vol. xx. p. 405, coincides with the view taken of the point by Bishop Percy, and has cited several proofs in confirmation of it. Unfortunately the entry in question throws no light on the point, for the words "the chariot horses," might be used in the modern acceptation or in that of those gentlemen, who are however borne out in their opinion by the authorities which they have adduced, and which are farther supported by the will of Bartholomew Lord Burghersh, in 1369, who speaks of the "chariot" which shall carry his corpse to the grave. Humphrey, Earl of Hereford, in 1861, left legacies to his "vj charetters."

What was meant by the king's chaste greyhounds is difficult to explain. That certain part of the greyhounds should be confined to perpetual chastity, is not a little curious, if such was the fact; but might not the word chaste have been used for "chace,"i. e.greyhounds kept for the sole purposes of coursing, as distinguished from those which were admitted to the parlour, and to the presence of their royal master?
