An undated paper auditor's book of 62 folios, containing various dated references by different scribes.
The book was apparently compiled over a period of time, ending around June 1626, and is arranged roughly
chronologically, with many entries being intermingled.
The majority of the book is intact and legible, consisting of copies of various records of payments
made into the Exchequer for payments of these three taxes:
the three subsidies granted to James I in 1624;
the three fifteenths and tenths granted in the same year;
and the two subsidies granted to Charles I in 1625.
Entries for the borough of Southwark appear on ff.10v and 18r, but the entry on fo.10v is a record of the sum
collected and contains no names other than those of John Waterman and Thomas Thorpe, the collectors.
