Minor Notes.
_Scotter Register (County Lincoln)._--The following extracts from the
register of the parish of Scotter, in the county of Lincoln, are perhaps
sufficiently interesting to be worth printing in "N. & Q.":
1. "Eccelesia parochialis de Scotter comitatu Lincolniæ dedicata est
Beatis Apostolis Sancto Petro et Sancto Paulo ut apparet in Antiquo
Scripto viduæ Loddington de Scotter, viz. in testamento vltimo Thomæ
Dalyson, Gen. de Scotter, qui obiit Junii 19^o, anno Domini 1495.
"GUL. CARRINGTON,
"Rector ecl[=i]a ibid."
2. "_Memorandum_, That on Septuagesima Sunday, being the 19^{th} day of
January, 1667, one Francis Drury, an excommunicate person, came into
the church in time of divine service in y^e morning, and being
admonisht by mee to begon, hee obstinately refused, whereuppon y^e
whole congregation departed; and after the same manner in the
afternoon, the same day, he came again, and refusing againe to go out,
the whole congregation againe went home, soe y^t little or no service
pformed. They prevented his further coming in y^t manner, as hee
threatned, by order from the Justice, uppon the statute of Queene
Elizabeth concerning the molestation and disturbance of publiq
preachers.
