A parchment roll of four membranes, containing names of Southwark defaulters for the fourth
payment, in 1552, of the ‘relief’ granted to king Edward VI
in March 1549. ‘St Saviour’ (i.e. Boroughside) names are on memb.1,
and Clink Liberty and Paris Garden names are on memb.4. Individuals with moveable
goods worth more than £10 were to have been taxed on them at 12d per pound if native-born, at double
this rate if foreigners. Aliens with moveable goods worth between 20s and £10 were also
assessed, to pay 12d per pound. Aliens who did not qualify for assessment on moveable
goods were to pay a poll tax of 8d per head, apart from married women, soldiers and children under 12,
who were not liable.
