[395] See Appendix XII. D. E. F. New assessments and the increase of assessments are frequently mentioned, e.g. Dom. S. P., Chas. I., vol. 192, 79; the fines of people who do not go to church in many others, e.g. Hitchen and Broadwater, D. S. P., Chas. I., vol. 238, No. 42. Other reports state whether there is employment in the cloth trade or other occupations, e.g. D. S. P., vol. 190, 54. In this report the justices of Babergh and Cosford report that the clothiers are on the point of dismissing their workfolk. It is interesting also to learn that on April 5, 1631, Portsmouth only had corn for 20 days "there being resident wthin the said Towne and Liberties therof six hundred persons att the least." D. S. P., Chas. I., vol. 188.
