BOOK III. CHAP. TV.] BROWSHOLME. 341

A few particulars only remain to be added with respect to the forests and demesnes

of Blackburn shire in general.

The records of this extensive district, now remaining at Clitheroe Castle, contain little

which is either curious or ancient. This is accounted for from a return of Richard

Assheton and Edward Braddyll, Esqrs. to a commission directed to them out of the Duchy

Court, anno 22 Elizabeth, to inquire into the state of the records at this place. They say

that the most ancient rolls, some of the reign of Edward III. and others without date,

having been kept upon a damp floor, were become almost illegible ; but that of those which

remained in a tolerably perfect state, a schedule, beginning with the rolls of Henry VII.

had been made by their directions, and the rolls themselves deposited within closets in an

upper room under three locks and keys.
During the great usurpation, after the murder of Charles I. the four forests of Black-

burnshire were sold under an ordinance of the Commons in Parliament, intituled "An Act

for the Sale of all Honours, Manors, &c. belonging to the late King, Queen, and Prince,"

to Adam Baynes, of Knowsthorp, Esq. for the sum of 6,8531. 16s. If/, together with the

rents, royalties, and profits of the Halrnot Courts. This transaction bore date April 16,

1651.
In January of the same year the free wapontake courts of Clitheroe and Blackburn-

shire, excepting the forests, were alienated to one Jeremy "Whitworth. On this occasion

a doubt arose whether Colnc, Ightenhill, Accrington, and Tottiugton were really distinct

manors ; and in a case submitted to Sir Orlando Bridgeman, it was stated that cither in

the reign of Henry VI. or Edward IV. (the original record, I suppose, having rotted

away on the damp floor), a decree had been made, that, to avoid an inconvenient con-

course of people at the Castle, courts should be holden twice every year at Burnley, Colne,

Accrington, &c. But, whatever might have been the date of the decree, it appears, from

the Custumale already given, that courts had been holden at the first of these places much

earlier ; and Bridgeman thought the usage sufficient to constitute them so many distinct,

though not independent, manors.

During all this time, the old account between the Crown and the copyholders remained

unsettled. An agreement had been made between the two parties, in the reign of James I.

that forty years old rent should be paid for the confirmation and settlement of these lands :

one moiety on the passing decrees for that purpose in the Duchy Court, and the other

within one month after they were confirmed by act of parliament.
Decrees for all the manors and estates thus compounded for were passed, and the first

moiety paid, before the death of King James. In the 5th of Charles I. -the remaining

moiety was assigned to Sir Allen Apsley, for the satisfaction of debts contracted in victual-

ling the Navy. In the 16th of this reign a bill of confirmation passed both Houses of

Parliament ; but, on account of the distractions then beginning in the kingdom, did not

receive the royal assent. In the year 1650, however, Sir Allen Apsley obtained from the

governing powers an ordinance to confirm the decrees, and to compel the copyholders to

pay the remaining moiety ; with a heavy penalty of 51. per diem, on default of payment,

HISTORY OF WHALLEY.

[BOOK III. CHAP. IV.

after the 1st of September then following. Several of the copyholders failed in providing

their quotas ; which occasioned a general deficiency of payment, according to the act. This

alarmed the wiser and more wealthy of the parties concerned ; who paid the whole moiety,

together with a great overplus, nomine poence, amounting in all to 4,833. ; and thus the

affair slept till the Restoration : soon after which, namely, in 1661, a general act of con-

firmation was passed. 1 And on this foundation rest all the titles to wapontake or copyhold

lands of the new tenure, in Blacldmrnshire.
