ing an insufficient miller. He agreed to discharge Peter Simes,1 the man complained of, but did not do so, and the next month the court fined him for his laxity. At this time, he was fined also for want of a toll dish, over toll, bad grinding and want of beam and scales hung up.
The quarterly court held in Salem March 31, 1640, was a. busy session, both civilly and criminally. "Francs Nurse a youth for stealing of victualls & for suspition of breaking a house," was presented.
Dec. 23, 1639, the town granted to Arthur Sandin2 of Marble- hed two acres of land to plant. He lived on the western corner of Front and Merritt streets. March 31, 1640, he was allowed by the Salem court to keep an ordinary at Marblehead ; and he continued to conduct a tavern there until his death, which occurred in the autumn of 1666. He sold wine, beer, strong water and provisions. He had a brew house, and made the beer he sold.
May 13, 1640, the general court declared that there existed an absolute necessity for the increase of the manufacture of linen cloth, etc., and ordered an "inquiry what seed is in every town, what men and women are skilfull in the braking, spining, weav- ing, what means for the providing of wheels, and to consider with those skilful in that manufacture what course may be taken to raise the materials and produce the manufacture, and what course may be taken for teaching the boys and girls in all towns the spinning of the yarn"; and also the same inquiry in regard to "the spining and weaving of the cotton wool." September 14th following. the town ordered that "our Brother Gedney and our brother Balch and our brother Fogg do enquire about fustean spinsters." October 7th, the general court voted to give a bounty of twenty-five per cent. of the value for making linen, woolen and cotton cloth ; but withdrew the bounty the next June because public funds could not be spared for that purpose. The court advised the colonists to gather the wild hemp, which might serve for making of cloth until cotton could be had. September 30. 1641, the town granted to Samuel Cornhill an acre of land for the sowing of hemp.
At the general court, May 13, 1640, it was provided that in each town horses, mares, cows, oxen, goats and hogs should be valued by a committee therein. John Woodberry, Jeffry Massey and Thomas Lathrop were appointed the committee for Salem.
1Peter Simes "alias Ford" was here as late as 1649. His wife would not come over.
"Arthur Sandin (Sands, Sandy) married Margaret -, who survived him. His daughter Mary married Nicholas Merritt.

· The court in Salem, June 2, 1640, was a busy session. Richard Gell, an apprentice boy of Mr. Yongs, was sentenced, for burglary on the Lord's day and stealing, to be "severli whipped tomorrow being Lecture day and to set an hour before the Lecture with a paper written and set upon his head for breaking a house, stealing, etc., on the Lord's day'." Gell was subsequently a servant of Francis Felmingham, and Feb. 20, 1643-4, he was ordered by the Salem court to be severely whipped for breaking into the house of Mr. Keaser on the Lord's day and stealing two parcels of tobacco, etc.
Bethiah Cartwright lived in Salem in 1640. She made her will May 2d of that year, and it was proved June 30th following. In it she gave a few articles to her sister Elizabeth Capon of Walderswick, Suffolkshire, England. She probably had no rel- atives in this country.
Richard Cook lived in Marblehead in 1640 and as late as 1646, and perhaps removed to Boston. He was born about 1610, and had a wife in 1644.
