March 1556



March 2. Antwerp.	44. King Philip to the Queen. Wm. Sheroin, of Hauton Becrin, of this kingdom, has informed me that he was condemned last October on suspicion of being concerned in the death of Dorothea Peper, but on account of discrepancies in the evidence, the execution was postponed to the 19th of this month; but not yet being able to exculpate himself, he begs for some days longer. [²/3 page, Spanish. Signed by the King, and countersigned G. Perezius.]
[March.]	45. List of 21 prisoners committed to the Tower, Fleet, and Newgate; among others, Henry Peckham, Throgmorton, Fernando Lygons, the keepers of the Star Chamber and Hyde Park, Sir Thos. Carden, Carter, searcher of the Sanctuary at Westminster, Sir Ant. Kingston, and Girling, captain of the [Isle] of Wight. [¾ page.]
[March.]	46. Confession of —Balcriffe. I told Bedell I was poor, and asked whether he would coin money; he said it must not be in England, and bade me speak to Master Aston. Aston asked if I knew a good graver; I recommended Castell, who engaged to do it, if he might have 50l. to fit himself for another realm, but Bedell only offered him 10l., so he would not go, and then I provided Andrew Pomray. I went with Bedell to buy buff skins for Aston, and we brought them to Peckham's house. I know not Dudley Smith. I became acquainted with White at Maidenhead, and he told me the Irish and Scotch were up.
	I supped with Bedell about Newgate, and he sent a man to buy a link to light him to Westminster, and went to Master Derick, and asked for Master White. Bedell and I went with him to Derick's, and Bedell and Derick had long talk, but what I knew not. I do not know Throgmorton. [1¾ pages.]
March ?	47. Information by Roger Shakespere. Cuthbert Temple has absented himself from church 1¼ years, and was associate with Aston, Dudley, and Bedell, now in the Tower, and one Glover, of Coventry, whose brother of late was burned. There is a man who owes Temple 700l. to be paid by 100l. yearly. He would now take 400l. to have it paid immediately. [½ page.]
