King CHARLES.

7 JOHN HEWET, Baronet]

He had not one foot of land, nor house (hiring Hemington of the Lord Mountague) in the whole County, though several * 1.1 Statutes have provided, that the Sheriffe should have sufficient land in the same Shire, to answer the King and his people. The best is, this Baronet had a very fair estate elsewhere. And as our English proverb saith, VVhat is lost in the Hundred, will be found in the Shire: so what was lost in the Shire, would be found in the Land. However, this was generally beheld as an injury; that, because he had offended a great Courtier, the Sherivalty was by power imposed upon him.
