_Wives of Ecclesiastics_ (Vol. i., p. 149.).--In Archdeacon Hale's _Curious
Precedents in Criminal Causes_, p. 23., under 1490, and in the parish of S.
Nicholas, Coldharbour, London, we read:
"Nicholai Colde.--Johannes Warwick quondam clericus parochie ibidem
adulteravit cum Rosa Williamson et ob amorem illius mutilavit et quasi
interfecit uxorem propriam."
We may remark that the delinquent is not called Dominus, but "clericus
parochie."
