which was to get money for church
expenses. The feast was organized
by the church wardens, who provided
a good spread at SO much head, and
credited the profits to the church ex-
penditure" 1t first appears as the
Church ale," then as the kings ale,
then later as "our banquet at Whit
suntide." 1t was probably held in the
church and went on until 1643, the
year after the civil war broke out,
when, probably, the puritans put an
end to such festivities. 1t was popu-
lar, evidently. One enterprising church
warden has left on record all the good
things which were prepared for tbs
Crondall Church ale" in the year 1887.
They had band, brewed a quantity
of ale and made profit Of $42. AS
money was then worth nearly ten
times as much as now the Church
ale'' may be said to have brought in
about $500, which was just 100 per
cent on the outlay. The band was
hired for four days. $50
Until 1915 the church wardens kept
a church COW and let it out at 33 cents

they let out for cents year, proba-
bly, for the WOOL Payments for in
cense and for an enormous Easter
candle of wax were regular items. The
parliamentary soldiers made earth
works in the churchyard and the puri-
tans later had a small marble font
made. The puritan font is still there,
though displaced in it's turn. On All
Saints day little tax was levied of
farthing on each chimney. ALI Saints
was the dedication day of the church.
This tax was called Smoke farth-

out of church, twopence," is the oldest

At Yateley they got a new pair of
stocks and a new whipping post in
l774 and in IT'S parish umbrella to
hold over the parson at funerals. The
parish aided the gamekeeper and

noon and hold an inquest on the death of
David Varney, the aged Porter farmer,
who was murdered and robbed OF 500
Wednesday night. Eight or ten Witness
es were summoned and IT was expected
the inquest would continue until late this
evening and that a verdict would hen be
found. possibly duplicating the murderer.
The officials announced today that no
warrant would be sworn out, and Wesley
Chick. the nephew, who was detained by
the seectmen early yesterday would net
be arrested before tonight.
The belief is entertained that evidence
will be found during the inquest TO war
rant the arrest Of an accessory, but no
immediate move is expected.
Chick has freely answered the officers
questions concerning his movements and
the money which he possessed. He says
that his shotgun is at his boarding place
at Porter.
The wallet containing his money, which
was an old fashioned fiat one, was not
Varney's. The latter's wallet has not
been found.
