the eastward from his wife who was about to be confined in childbirth, and for stealing, blasphemy, lying and swearing. The blasphemy probably was based on his statement, as to why he did not attend religious services, that the parings of his nails and a chip were as acceptable to God as the day of thanksgiving. Mathew Jellet (Gillet), a boy apprenticed to George Williams, appeared in court as to the termination of his apprenticeship. In 1646, Gillett was living in Marblehead. The wife of Hugh Browne must have been a virago, as she was in court for break- ing her husband's head, threatening that she would kill him, "so that he is weary of his life," throwing stones at him, calling him beast, wishing him hanged and that he might never come home.
In 1641, the town "Granted to Marble head Inhabitants all such lands nere adjoyning to them as have not been formerly granted to other men. And the said lands thus granted to Marble head men are to be disposed of by themselves provided it be done with the consent of one of our seven men appoynted for the afayres of our towne, who shalbe helpfull and ready to joyne with them in the disposing of it, and therefore the town hath chosen Jeffry Massy to be joyned unto them for the pres- ent."1
At the quarter court in Boston June I, 1641, "Salem is en- joined to amend the short swamp within a month, and the other ways within six months, upon pain of five pounds."
At the general court of elections, June 2, 1641, Richard Bellingham was elected governor by a doubtful election; and he married himself to a young woman, refusing to be published where he dwelt, contrary to the constant practice of the country and an order of the court. The grand jury presented him for breach of the order of court, and in the month of his election the secretary called him to answer. He would not leave the bench to do so, and put the matter off. The "young gentle woman" was "ready to be contracted" to a friend of the governor, who lodged in his house, when on a sudden the governor impressed upon her the strength of his affection, and obtained her for himself.2

HISTORY OF SALEM
The quarter courts at Salem were now changed. Hence- forth, two were to be held in Salem and two at Ipswich. One was to be held at Ipswich on the last Tuesday of September, and the others as they were then held. The magistrates were ordered to attend each of these courts, and the jurisdiction was general, except in trials for life, limb or banishment, over which the court of assistants had jurisdiction. Also, appeals could be taken to the court of assistants, and in an action of more than one hun- dred pounds principal concurrent jurisdiction was given to the court of assistants.
June 2, 1641, the general court desired the elders to make a catechism "for the instruction of youth in the grounds of re- ligion."
At the quarterly court at Salem, June 29, 1641, John Kettle, a boy apprenticed to John Lovett of Mackerel Cove, was ordered to be severely whipped "for breaking open John Ward's house and stealing milk (though he had eat milk that same morning) and his wilfull breach of the Sabbath."
