Cypress seems to have been held in much esteem for boxes from an early period. We find that John of Gaunt, in 1397, speaks of "a little box of Cypress wood," in his will. The following extract from "an account of Church Plate Money, Gold, and Silver Images," &c. delivered to Henry the Eighth, printed in "Memoirs of the Antiquities of Great Britain, relating to the Reformation," from the original, in the Bodleian Library, is a curious illustration of "Coffers."—"Paid, William Grene, the King's Coffer Maker for makyng of a coffer, covered with fustyan of Naples and beinge full of drawe boxes lyned with red and grene sarcynet to put in stones of diverse sorts vjli.xviijs.jd.And to Cornelys the lock smythe for making all the Iron worke, that is to saye the lock, gymowes, handels, ryngs to every drawe boxe, the price xxxvjs.ivd.Sum total, vijli.xivs.vd."

This individual was afterwards the celebrated Earl of Essex. It is well known that he was taken into Henry's service on the fall of his former master, Wolsey, and was Knighted in the year when his name first occurs in these accounts, after which time he made rapid progress in the King's favour. These entries respecting Cromwell add in no other way to what is recorded of him, than as they confirm the opinion that he was frequently employed on services which were of a secret nature. The one relating to the payment of the king's tomb will be more fully noticed elsewhere, and in June, 1532, we find him presenting Henry with "Sucado and marmalade;" but the most remarkable entries are of large sums paid to him "by the king's commandment," without mentioning for what purposes. Indeed, on one occasion, there is a particular appearance of mystery in the disbursement. It is a payment to the king's jeweller of 46l.13s.4d., "Maister Cromwell knowing to what use it should be employed unto." The entries alluded to all occur in October, 1532, and the sums paid to him amounted to 826l.6s.8d., which may be supposed to have been privately expended at Boulogne, in relation to the interview with the French Monarch; but it must be remembered that Henry is, by some writers, supposed to have married Anne Boleyn early in the November following; hence, it is possible that these payments were in some way connected with that event.

This entry is more particularly noticed under "Ambrys," but a few words will here be said on the word "Cupboard." Some grounds exist for considering that it formerly meant a very different piece of furniture than a "case with shelves," as Dr. Johnson describes it, and as it is explained by Archd. Nares. The entry referred to in these accounts, it is true, appears to have been of an article resembling a modern cupboard; but it is by no means certain that such is the fact. From the following passage it would seem that the word was used for a kind of closet. Speaking of Lord Shrewsbury having appeared before the Privy Council of Queen Elizabeth to vindicate himself from some charges brought against him, a writer of the period says, "Yet, for that he did so instantly require to have their aunswere to that which he had propounded, his Lordship was desired to withdrawe himselfe from the table to thecupbord, which he did, and so uppon some consultacion amonge the reste of their Lordships then sittinge, his Lordship beinge agayn called to his place, it was," &c.—Lodge's Illustrations, vol. ii. p. 298. It could scarcely have been meant that Shrewsbury merely quitted the Council table and went to where the cupboard was placed, at a distant part of the room. The following extract however does not support the opinion, that a cupboard was a closet; but it could not have resembled the modern piece of furniture of that name. Cavendish, speaking of the chamber in which Cardinal Wolsey died, says "the windows being close shut, having wax lights burningupon the cupboard," &c. vol. i. p. 318. It is quite certain that an article called a cupboard was sometimes moveable. Robert Frevyll, by his will dated in 1521, gives his son John, among other articles, "a stone cobard in the hall."—Testamenta Vetusta, vol. ii. p. 575. Hall thus uses the word. "The Dutchmen bring over iron, tymber, lether, and weynskot ready wrought, as nayles, lockes, basketts,cupbordes, stools, tables, chestes, gyrdels with poyntes," &c. p. 587. In the account of the furniture of Henry the Eighth's palaces, in theHarleianMS., 1419, the word "cuppbord" frequently occurs; and the following extract supports the opinion, that it did not resemble the article now known by that name. "Item, one large cuppbord carpet of grene clothe of gold, with workes lyned with bockeram, conteyning in lengthe three yards iij q'ters, and three bredthes of the same cloth of gold," f. 20.

It is difficult to say who was the individual referred to. The only name at all resembling it in the Irish Peerage, about the period, is Dunboyne; but that title was not conferred until 1537, six years after the date in question, when Sir Edmund Butler was so created.

Dice has been a favourite amusement in this country for many centuries, and Mr. Singer, in his interesting volume on Playing Cards, gives many curious particulars on the subject. Under the word "Cards"ante, extracts from the statutes restricting the use of them in the reign of Edward IV. have been inserted, to which the following from the Rolls of Parliament, of the 2 Hen. IV. 1410, may be an acceptable addition. The Commons prayed that servants and labourers who offended against the statute prohibiting them to play at "Coites,dys, gettre de Peer, Kayles, and autres tieux Jeues," should be enforced; to the enactments in which that Parliament added a punishment of six days, whilst such Mayors as neglected to enforce it were to be fined 20s.and Constables 6s.8d.—Vol. iii. p. 643. In the 17 Ed. IV. 1477, a statute was enacted prohibiting "newe ymagined pleys called Closshe, Keyles, half Bowle, Handyn and Handowte, and Queke borde," it was recited that "the Lawes of the Lond" forbad "any unlawful plays, asDise, Coyte, Fote ball, and such like Plays, but that every person myghty and able in bodie should use his bowe by cause that the defense of this lond stondeth much by archers."

The above extract presents us with the surname of Domingo, states that he was a Lombard, and had been under the professional care of Dr. Balthazar. Most of the entries in which he is mentioned relate to payments of money that he had won from the king at cards and dice, and which in less than three years amounted to above 620l.As the circumstance is alluded to by Skelton, the accuracy of that part, at least, of his account of Domingo is established. He was, like Palmer and others, one of Henry's "diverting vagabonds," and seems to have accompanied His Majesty wherever he went, for we find that he was with him at Calais in October, 1532.
