for burial under various conditions. Then follow _The Parrishe's dutyes for the Bells_ (knells, peals, with small or large bells). Finally, _The Clarke his dutyes for Parishioners_ (Bann-askings, weddings, churchings, grave digging, tolling the bells for funerals in various ways, and on specified occasions, etc.). All the above fees are doubled in case of non-parishioners. See also the Salehurst tariff of 1597, most comprehensive and minute also: _Sussex Arch. Coll_., xxv, 154-5. Also parish order in _St. Martin's, Leicester, Acc'ts_ (ed. Thos. North), 19 and 128, _s. aa_. 1570-1 and 1584-5, as to duties for bells. These are regulated according to the rank of the person. _St. Margaret, Lothbury, Vestry Min., 2_ (Order regulating fees for "weddinges, cristeings, churchinges and berrialls" of 1571). See also the tariff of St. Edmund, Sarum (_Acc'ts_, 194), of 1608. For receipt items for palls in the acc'ts, see _St. Martin's-in-the-Fields Acc'ts_, 317 (1580), where "best cloth" nets 20d. on each occasion, the "worst" but 2d. See also Stepney vestry regulation of 1602 concerning fees to be paid for palls: _Memorials of Stepney_, 41-2. For expenses for making parish coffins see _St. Martin's-in-the-Fields Acc'ts, s. a_. 1546. Cf. _St. Edmund and St. Thomas, Sarum, Acc'ts_, introd., p. xx. _St. Helen, Bishopsgate, Acc'ts_ (ed. J.E. Cox), 103 (Ordinance of 1564 that those buried within the church are to be confined). Also the other acc'ts _supra_. At St. Edmund, Sarum, the wardens sold tombstones for the benefit of the parish (_Acc'ts_, 135. 1587-8). [292] _Memorials of Stepney_, 39-40. [293] See W.G.D. Fletcher, _Hist. of Loughborough (Acc'ts)_, 24: an order regulating fees for marriage peals in 1588. In _St. Edmund, Sarum, Acc'ts_, 127, are receipt items, being money turned over to the wardens by the sexton, for banns, christenings, etc. Cf. _Introd_. to _St. Edmund and St. Thomas, Sarum, Acc'ts_, p. xix. Cf. also _St. Laurence Pountney Acc'ts_ (Wilson, _Hist. of St. L_.), 124 (A marriage offering going to the parish. 1582). Usually marriage and churching dues went to minister and clerk (see tariffs, p. 221 _supra_). Chrisoms, _i.e._, white robes put on children when baptized, and given as an offering at churching, occasionally figure in the wardens' receipt items. See, _e.g_., J.E. Foster, _St. Mary the Great_ (Cambridge) _Acc'ts_, 156 (1565-7), _et passim. St. Thomas, Sarum, Acc'ts_, 282 (Chrisoms farmed out by
