Notes

ECM:321 has H[an]s Block.
ECM:321 has Jur[ie]n Janse .
This is Laurentius Carolus Lokenius whose name appears as Laurans Carolus minister in 20:5.
Other transcription in ECM:321. O'Callaghan's calendar entry stating that the names are those of prisoners, and the title in ECM: "Prisoners departed at Newcastle," are questionable. The names are probably part of a list of persons who are paying their fines in wheat.
