_Smoke Money_ (Vol. ii., pp. 120, 269.).--I do not know whether any

additional information on _smoke money_ is required but the following

extracts may be interesting to your Querist:--

"At this daie the Bp. of Elie hath out of everie parish in

Cambridgeshire a certeine tribute called Elie Farthings, or _Smoke

Farthings_, which the church-wardens do levie, according to the number

of houses or else of chimneys that be in a parish."--MSS, Baker, xxix.
