Extract

Among the Harleian Manuscripts in the British Museum is a thin folio volume written upon vellum, marked No 4292, and containing the Register of Persons who sought Sanctuary for different crimes at St. John of Beverley in Yorkshire, in the reigns of King Edward the Fourth, King Henry the Seventh, and King Henry the Eighth. The book-binder by whom it appears to have been rebound of later years, seems to have mixed some of the leaves, or, at least, to have put the entries of King Edward the Fourth's time after some of those of King Henry the Seventh's.
