Why so, said the King ? Because, quoth Hodgekins, we can get neuer a hangman to trusse our theeues : but if it shall like your good Grace, (quoth he) there is a feate Fryar, that will make vs a deuise, which shall without the hand of man cut off the cragges of all such carles, if your Maiesty will please to allow thereof. The King vnderstanding the full effect of the matter, OF THOMAS OF HEADING. 63 at length granted his petition : whereupon till this day, it is obserued in Hallifax, that such ...as are taken stealing of their cloth, haue their heads chopt off with the same gin. How the Bailiffes of London could get no man to bee a Catchpole, and how certaine Flemings tooke that office vpon them, whereof many of them were fledde into this Realme, by reason of certaine waters that had drowned a great part of their Country. Chap. 9. The City of London being at that time gouerned by Bailiffes, it came to passe, that in a certaine fray two of their Catch-poles were killed, for at that time they had not the name of Sergeants : and you shall understand, that their office was then so much hated and detested of Englishmen, that none of them would take it vpon him : so that the Bailiffes were glad to get any man whatso- euer, and to giue him certain wages to performe that office.
