Notes

fol. 39: The court was credibly informed that Jonathan Falkingham of St Giles without Cripplegate, yeoman, was formerly allowed a pension of £5 per annum as a maimed soldier, which ‘for good causes’ was reduced at the last Quarter Sessions to £3 per annum. He was noted as ‘a dangerous p[er]son of loose conversac[i]on & much suspected to be disaffected to the govern[en]t & in a discourse form[er]ly had touching the late Conflagrac[i]on of the Citty of London said it was a joyfull sight to see London burned & it had beene well it had beene twenty years sooner or words to that effect’. He was therefore conceived by the Court to be a person unfit to receive a pension and his remaining pension of £3 per annum was thereby removed from him.
