who succeeded the Earl of Devonshire in occupation. In the
same manner the Duke of Norfolk ''will not pay noe more"
than £3.10.0 for his assessment of £7, and, so far as can
be gathered from the accounts, the Parish lost the balance of
this sum. Other amounts were discharged from the rates as
empty, none such, overrated, poor or gone, or on the ground
that the person assessed was Overseer, Constable, or filled some
other Parish office, as, for example, George Bishop, of Sohoe
West, paid half rates and "woud not pay noe more he being
constable." The "aggrieved parishioner" was not unknown,
for Mr. Beales is credited with the statement that he "will
not pay" the sum of 9/- assessed upon him in respect of four
houses in a Court off Duke Street, and apparently his perseverance
was rewarded with success and he was left in peace.
"The Earl of Dover, again, left his house in Jermyn Street,
and his assessment is marked " gone and wont pay."
