Вот название этой книги: "Notes and Queries" volume CXVI, second series, January 26, 1907. The work is a transcript of an Auditor called before the Committee on Private Bills, under the chairmanship of Sir George Beaumont. This Council was established in January, 1796 to examine private bills only. ... Originally and broadly speaking, the task of a patrolling Auditor (with his compounds) was to visit every Established Church in England (including continuous parts of Wales and Northern Ireland when these had been ai mei of Established Church) in order to assure it was duly licensed by the Crown (and distinctly not past the Renewal of Licence date) It did not even attempt to visit all secular convents or similar institutions at that time, leaving this function to the Bishops of the diocese in which a particular place was located. Nowadays the Auditors have almost no more to do except to register certain chancel changes in dioceses. The last edition I still own is from July 23rd 1977, presumably because that held a record number of pages, although now I wonder whether the last use was not the Press mutiny of 1983-84... However, perhaps in the end this is a way of checking how many records the Church has got which would otherwise be utterly lost. Obviously the accounts for a place without a Register were quite different; those Auditor transcripts which are preserved describe largely these cases, but without using the Register numbers for individual churches for these more unusual cases, an essentially endless system of references would lead nowhere. Meanwhile, if anyone just wants to look at one of the better known and earlier Hansards then the first series of volume CXVII, page 587 of The Record and Magazine of Commerce for February 15th, 1883 has your Mr Esmond Lee as the cheapest manufacturer of green needle glass suggested for an unfurnished hospital; he produced 12008 spindles of thread, a mainstream count of about 82 and 8= multin the Measure weight of 36 lbs. Merchants expected to earn £4.4 to their capital (perhaps including bodies of time) per pound of body measured weight. That was supposed to be an early estimate for a contract covering a period of twenty years (e.g. double ten years), not for a 10 year auction period. Given that a thread spindle measures about 11 or 14 inches, a transaction like linen trade with King James V (which contained a deal like 4×8 cwt needles for £14•10s. 7d or plain needles at £12•2s. etc) *may* have originally been worth more on a weight basis than later, before reductions in unit weights for tradition values became accepted as dealers expectations had increased.
