SLEEPERS IN CHURCH.

_(For the Mirror.)_

Richard Davey, in 1659, founded a free-school at Claverley, Salop, and

directed to be paid yearly the sum of eight shillings to a poor man of

the said parish, who should undertake to awaken sleepers, and to whip

out dogs from the church of Claverley, during divine service.
