INTRODUCTION
The plan of this volume was the happy suggestion of Dr. Farrer^ and the materials for its execution are drawn from his rich store of transcripts. A few gaps have been filled up from the original subsidy rolls in the Public Record Office in London and the duplicate land tax returns in the Sessions House at Preston. For the additions from the latter source the Society is indebted to Mr. Clemesha, now a member of its Council. The editor’s modest contribution, apart from this introduction, is the notes on the chief taxpayers, identifying their place of abode or supplying some other detail which may make these forgotten names a little less shadowy and unreal. Most of them are taken from no more recondite a source than the invaluable volumes of the Victoria. County History.
Transcripts of subsidy rolls have been a popular form of publication with local societies and antiquarians, as they are mostly arranged by counties, and many contain the names of the taxpayers and so appeal strongly to the local historian and genealogist. A complete subsidy roll for a whole county, how- ever, takes up a good deal of space, and they have usually been published singly. Only Suffolk and Worcestershire seem to have printed a well-chosen series of such rolls, and both extend to more than one volume. The hearth tax returns have been printed for several counties, but the land tax returns have apparently been considered too modern. The somewhat haphazard method of publication hitherto prevalent has served the purpose of the genealogist and local historian better than that of the student of the history of taxation ; nor has it done as much for the former as it is capable of doing when rolls covering two or three centuries.

arc brouglit together to show the changes in the ownership of the land. This is the plan of the present volume, which embraces four Tudor subsidies, hearth tax returns for 1666, and selected land tax returns for the last two decades of the eighteenth century. Such a scheme is only practicable if the county is divided into convenient areas, to be dealt with separately. The obvious area is the hundred which was the governing unit for the levy of taxes, the commissioners for the county dividing them- selves between its hundreds, and the total assessments made on the parishes or townships of each hundred being returned to the Exchequer on a separate roll or in a separate book or bundle.
The hundred of Salford has been chosen for first treatment in this way for no better reason actually than the greater com- pleteness of Dr. Farrer’s collections here than elsewhere, but ours is not the first perambulation of the county to begin at its south- eastern corner.
A long perspective of the taxation of a particular area has a twofold use. In the first place, it reveals very clearly the vicissitudes of families and estates, the ever-recurring story of ‘ new men and old acres,’ and serves as a rough guide to the varying importance of local communities and the growth of population and wealth, though its utility in this latter respect is greatly limited by the tendency of assessments to become stereotyped. For this reason, a perspective view of this kind is more valuable as a concrete illustration of the slow and painful evolution of scientific taxation, of repeated attempts and failures to devise a system of assessment and rating which should distribute the burden according to ability to pay and secure to the State the full amount which the wealth of the country could fairly bear. The income tax of the nineteenth century represents the ultimate solution of this agelong problem.
Our concern is only with national taxation and not with local taxes, though assessment and rating were sometimes the same for both, and among national taxes only with those falling directly upon the taxpayer and not indirectly as in the case of customs and excise, with the partial exception of the hearth tax which was of a mixed order, a direct excise.
INTRODUCTION

A more complete record of the taxation of the hundred would start at least with the mediaeval subsidy, the lifteenth and tenth, but that tax was levied on a fixed valuation from 1334, and the roll of 1332, with its only slightly lower assessments, was long ago printed by the Lancashire and Cheshire Record Society,^ under the editorship of the late Mr. J. Paul Rylands. It has therefore seemed best to begin with the Tudor subsidy which formed a turning-point in the history of English taxation in that it first regularly associated land with personal property as the basis of direct taxation for State purposes. The choice of the subsidies to be given was in part determined by the fact that two are already in print. In 1885 the late Mr. Earwaker edited the assessments of 1541 and 1622 for Salford hundred in a volume of Miscellanies published by the Record Society. ^ These were printed not from the rolls sent up to the Exchequer, but from copies retained locally, which happen to have been preserved in private keeping. It may be remarked incidentally that these local duplicates are in better condition than some of the Exchequer rolls which suffered terribly from damp and neglect when their place of custody was at Westminster. Unfortunately, one of these damaged rolls is that of 1543, which forms our second example. But despite its defects and its close proximity to the printed roll of 1541, its publication was desirable because the attempt in that year to tap a wider class of taxpayers makes it (as far as it goes) a much fuller list of the inhabitants of the hundred than any other which has survived. In the Public Record Office these rolls bear the date of the statute by which they were granted, but the date assigned to those here printed is that of the year of collection.
The hearth tax returns of 1666 for the hundred are printed from the originals in the Record Office. These are entered on paper sheets loosely sewn together in book form. Some missing entries at the beginning have been supplied from the returns of 1664. The order in which the township returns are entered

totally disregards parish boundaries, but we have not ventured to rearrange them on a more convenient system.
The only complete series of the land tax returns is also in the Record Office, but these give only totals and not the individual assessments made locally. Dr. Farrer’s transcripts, which we have used, were made from the fuller duplicates preserved in the Sessions House at Preston. The continuous series there begins in 1780.
Both the hearth tax and the land tax returns, especially the latter, are too voluminous for reproduction in full. In the case of the former, only the names of those who were charged on three hearths or more are given ; in that of the latter no fixed minimum has been adopted, though the great majority of those who paid less than £1 have been omitted. The total number of hearths in the township and the total amount of land tax charged upon it are, however, always given.
The most comprehensive history of taxation in England is that of Stephen Dowell (4 vols., 1884). It is a useful compilation by a former assistant solicitor to the Board of Inland Revenue, but its account of fifteenth and sixteenth centur}" taxation is sometimes inaccurate and misleading. The description of the subsidies granted in 1523 and 1545 shows at best careless reading of the Subsidy Statutes printed in Statutes of the Realm, and the subsidy of 1540, interesting for its unusual rating, is unnoticed. Much more satisfactory in treatment, though covering in detail only the latter part of the period with which we are concerned, is English Taxation, 1640-1 y gg (1913), by William Kenned3\ For the experiments of the fifteenth century the best authority is the third volume of Stubbs’ Constitutional History of England, which supplies full references to the original sources. The land tax is the subject of a special monograph by Bourdin [Exposition of the Land Tax, 3rd ed., by Shirley Bunbury, 1885).
The Evolution of the Tudor Subsidy. — The essential feature of the new subsidy of the Tudors was the parallel assess- ment of land and personalty. Though new, it was no foreign novelty like the later hearth tax but a natural development from preceding taxation. It derived from the fifteenth and

tenth on moveable goods on the one side and from the fifteenth century war taxes on land and income on the other.
Land had been the earliest, and down to the thirteenth century the chief, basis of national taxation in England, but while the old land taxes, danegeld, carucage, and scutage became unprofitable and died out, a new and richer source of revenue was found by needy kings in the growing personal wealth of the nation. Taxa- tion of such wealth had the merit of reaching the landowner, though not up to his full ability, by taking toll of his stock, crops, and other moveables. Like the earlier taxes on land, the levy on moveable goods was recognised to be only an occasional tax to supplement the ordinary revenue of the crown, and it became almost at once the subject of parliamentary grant — and reluctance to grant. Even when this reluctance was overcome, the taxpayer could usuaUy rely upon his neighbours not to assess him too heavily, and before long the assessment of each township became a fixed amount which no increase in its wealth could raise, though in time some allowance was made for a serious decrease.
After many experiments the rating settled down from 1332 at a fifteenth of the assessed value of goods in rural areas and a tenth in towns, but no sooner had this happened than the assess- ment of 1334 became stereotyped. As the sum payable by each township or borough was fixed, the Crown took no interest in the mode of its assessment and it was allowed to be raised like a local rate.
The fifteenth and tenth remained the chief, though ultimately not the most profitable, form of direct taxation for nearly three centuries, but it could never bring in more than it had done in ^334 (something under £39,000 according to Dowell), and actually, owing to exemptions for poverty and to leakage, was yielding no more than £29,000 before it finally disappeared. Its in- adequacy was, to some extent, got over by the grant of double, treble, and at last, in the spacious days of Queen Elizabeth, quadruple, sextuple and octuple fifteenths and tenths.
The fifteenth of 1332 yielded £287 17s. /\d} from the county

of Lancaster and the tenth £ii 3s. Sd. Of this the hundred of Salford paid £39 4s. This was much lighter taxation than the county had to bear under Henry HI. and Edward L when the average of twelve levies ranging from a fortieth up to a tenth amounted to £572 (excluding the borough rate), and a fifteenth once (in 1290) produced no less than £1166, but that was for the expulsion of the Jews and was bitterly complained of as taxation ad ungiiem.
Scottish ravages would have justified some reduction in the northern parts of the county, but not in the hundred of Salford, and the drop was not confined to Lancashire. Surrey, for instance, which paid £728 to the fifteenth of 1301, was charged just half that sum in 1332. In 1334 the proportion payable by Lancashire was slightly raised,^ to £362 19s. ^\d., the hundred of Salford pa\dng £48 9s. 4^., and continued at this figure even after Parliament (in 1431) began to make allowances to im- poverished communities. At some date, however, before 1583 the county total was reduced to £329 i6s. '[d., and that of Salford hundred to £41 14s. /\d., at which they remained so long as fifteenths continued to be raised for national or local purposes.^
The heavy drain of unsuccessful war following on victory and extravagance revealed the inadequacy of the fifteenth and tenth. To multiply it was to magnify’ the injustice of a fixed assessment in a changing world, an assessment too which left untouched income from land and other sources. The necessity of new taxation was earh^ realised, but the ill-managed parish and poll taxes of the eighth decade of the fourteenth century postponed reform until the Lancastrian dynast}’ came to the throne. As constitutional rulers they were precluded from resorting to Richard II. 's extra-Parliamentary methods of raising money, and the fifteenth century became a period of bold and fruitful experiment in the expansion of direct taxation. Most interesting of all these experiments, because most modern in

principle, was the first, or rather the form in which it was originally suggested. In the Parliament of 1404 it was proposed to levy a shilling in the pound on clear income from land worth one pound and upwards, and from those who did not possess land or houses a shilling for every twenty pounds’ worth of chattels, i.e. all other kinds of property. This novel proposal not only anticipated the double basis of the Tudor subsidy but foreshadowed the method by which the financiers of the seventeenth century sought to equate the taxation of real and personal estate, by the so-called pound rate. In the latter respect the anticipation was not complete, because in a simpler economic state of society personal property was not yet so exclusively regarded as capital, the profits from which might be taxed at the current rate of interest. On a seventeenth century basis, the relation proposed between realty and personalty implied a 5 per cent rate of interest, which was, of course, too low for the fifteenth. But it was a more equitable distribution of the burden of direct taxation than any that was attempted in practice, except once or twice under Henr\’ VIII. and again under Charles II. and William and Mary, until last century.
Only the tax on income from land was actually granted, but the full proposal is recorded by a contemporary and well-informed chronicler.^ Land had so long escaped its fair share in the determination of ability to bear taxation that even in its mutilated form, and with so high a maximum of exemption as 500 marks, the new tax was regarded with a sort of horror, and it was stipu- lated that no record of it should be kept. But the ice had been broken, and seven years later a second land tax was imposed, with a lower rating, it is true, but apparently without extensive exemption.
The troubles of Henry VI.’s reign gave birth to much more terrible novelties. Besides revivals of the old poll and parish taxes, the harassed statesmen of this period devised a graduated income tax, and took care that income from offices, annuities, rent-charges, and other similar sources was taxed

TAXATION IX SALFORD HUNDRED
equally with that from land. But these were admittedly ex- ceptional war taxes. After 1450 the country returned to the lifteenth and tenth as the sole direct tax. An interesting attempt in 1463 to make it fairer by bringing land as well as goods under contribution, without raising the assessments, and a little more profitable by levying the £6000 now regularly deducted on the ground of the poverty of certain communities upon those who were assessed at more than ten marks, ^ had to be abandoned. And so had the proposal in 1472 to meet war expenses by an income tax of 10 per cent.
No further novelties were tried until 1489, when extraordinary war expenditure had again to be met. A 10 per cent income tax was combined with a levy of is. 8d. on every ten marks’ worth of goods above ten marks. The assessment was to be made by royal commissioners, and the collectors were to be appointed by them. In other words, it was to be raised as a national tax and not as a local rate for national purposes like the fifteenth and tenth, ^^dth these safeguards, it is surprising that the portion falling on the Commons seemed likely to bring in no more than £27,000 and had to be reinforced by an ordinary fifteenth and tenth. Although a failure, the tax of 14S9 is of interest as the first on realty and personalty conjoined which was actually levied. It was in fact the first of the Tudor sub- sidies on land and goods, though not usually so reckoned.
The Tudor Subsidy. — Henry VIIL, whose needs and popularity were both greater than his father’s, was more successful in introducing a tax supplementary to the fifteenth and tenth, on a broader and more productive basis. After an unlucky experiment with a poll tax in 1513, he obtained in the following year a grant of a fifteenth and tenth and a subsidy* of is.- in
1 Rot. Pari. V. 497. Stubbs misses this point as well as the definite inclusion of ‘ lands and tenements ’ (Const. Hist. iii. § 357). These words never occur in the grant of the ordinary- fifteenth and tenth, though in towns tenements were early taken into account in the repartition of assessments, and in the country the fractions became chargeable on tenements before the middle of the seventeenth century (Cannan, Hist, of Local Rates, 23 n. See also below, p. xxxi).

the pound on lands, goods, and wages. The subsidy produced £90,000, just three times the amount of the fifteenth and tenth. Except in 1523 and 1555, when subsidies only were granted, the combination of one or more fifteenths and tenths with one or more subsidies was now the regular form of lay tax down to 1626.
The subsidy of 1323. — In 1523, to meet the cost of the French and Scottish wars, ^^’olsey demanded a subsidy of 4s. in the pound on land and goods in four yearly pa\Tnents, which was estimated to bring in £800,000. This was heavy enough in itself, but, coming on the top of a loan of 2s. in the pound, it was enormous, and the Commons successfully protested.
After warm debates they offered 2s. in the pound on income from land amounting to £i and upwards and on goods from £20 value upwards, another rude anticipation of the ‘ pound rate ’ of the next century. Goods worth from £2 upwards, but under £20, were to pay is. in the pound. Those having less than £2 in goods or receiving wages to the yearly value of £i were to pay %d. in the pound. In every case these payments were to be made in two years in equal sums.^ Consequently the rates in the first roll printed below, which gives the yield of the first year of the tax (1524) in the hundred of Salford, are respectively IS., bd., and \d.
‘ To please the Cardinal,’ Sir John Hussey moved and carried the pa\Tnent in a third year of an additional shilling in the pound by those who had £50 income from land and upwards, for which ■ he had much eville will ’ among them. They insisted that those who had goods over £50 value should also pay a third shilling in a fourth year.^ Thus the payment of the subsidy was not completed until 1527. Aliens, as was usual, paid double rate in each case. The definition of goods (‘ personals ’ in the Statute) was wider than it was for the fifteenth and tenth, in- cluding coin, the value of every pound that the taxpayer had to his use, and debts due to him. It shows society in a more advanced economic condition.

TAXATION IN SALFORD HUNDRED
The highest assessment on land in Salford hundred was that of Sir John Radcliffe of Ordsall, £66 13s. /[d., but it was nearly equalled and, as there is a doubt about the figures, may have been exceeded by that of Sir Richard Assheton of Middleton. The highest assessments of personalt}’ were those of two Man- chester merchants, Robert Laborey and Thomas Becke (or rather his executors), and one in Salford, Adam Byrom.
Only five persons in the whole hundred were charged as receiving ‘ weekly, monthly, or \^early ’ wages amounting to 20s., four in the parish of Manchester and one in Eccles parish. Of course 20s. at that date had the buying power of at least £12 now, or rather before 1914. The attempt to tax wage-earners was abandoned before the middle of the century. The total amount yielded by the subsidy is unluckily not known. The hundred of Salford contributed to the first year’s payment £87 iis. 4.d. In the first two years, therefore, the yield would be £175 2s. 8d. As there were few in the hundred liable to the payments of the third and fourth year, the subsidy’ probably produced rather less than an Elizabethan one at 4s. in the pound on land and 2s. Sd. in the pound on goods, which yielded about £200 in this hundred.
The arithmetic of the clerks who added up the figures in the Salford roll was several times at fault, and was corrected in the margin by some one in the Exchequer. There are also two cases in which the assessment and the charge do not agree. The awkward arrangement under parishes only, without subdivision under townships, was not followed in subsequent rolls for this area, and was not universal in 1524, for the tovmships appear in the roll for Blackburn hundred.
In the subsidies granted in 1534 and 1540 graduation was abandoned and the high minimum of £20 was fixed both for lands and goods. The tax was is. in the pound all round in the first case, but in 1540 the rate on goods was only 6d. The assess- ment was clearly much stricter than usual, in the latter case at any rate, for the amount raised in Salford hundred in 1541 was no less than £181, or not far short of the yield of the Elizabethan subsidy when the rate for land was four times greater and that for goods five times.

It was perhaps in reaction from an assessment which touched only the well-to-do that a much more complicated form was adopted in the subsidy of 1342, to which the second roll printed below belongs. It was granted, together with four fifteenths and tenths, to meet the expenses of the Scottish war, and is described in the Act as ‘ one entire Subsidie to continue three years.’ The minimum assessment was fixed as low as for land and goods alike, and the tax was elaborately graduated. Income from land below £5 paid M. in the pound, from £5 to £10, is. /\d., above £10 up to £20, 2s., above £20, 3s. ‘ Personals ’ under £5
paid ^d. in the pound, under £10, M., under £20, is. /\d., upwards of £20, 2S.
The Act provided that half the amount due should be paid in the first year and a quarter in each of the last two years. But the roll shows that the tax on land over £10 and goods over £20 was paid in three equal annual instalments.
The Salford roll is unfortunately imperfect,^ and the total amount raised by this interesting subsidy, which applied the principle of graduation more fuUy than any other, is not dis- coverable. Comparison with the local figures of 1524 and 1541 may be misleading because of the variations in rating, but the charges for three parishes point on the whole to an absolute return considerably larger than in the years in question : ^

The chief features of Henry VIII. ’s last subsidy granted (with two fifteenths, etc.) in 1545 were an unprecedentedly high rating and the final abandonment of graduation in the case of land. The tax on real estate w’as 4s. in the pound from £i up- wards. Goods worth £5 and less than £10 paid is. ^d., £10 and under £20, 2s., £20 and upwards, 2s. M. Payment was made in two equal yearly instalments.
^ The parishes of Ashton-under-Lyne, Bury, Radcliffe, Middleton, and Roch- dale, with part of Bolton, are missing. The roll is really a series of rotulets sewn together by their ends, which accounts for the dislocation noted on p. 28.
2 The comparison with 1524 is otherwise closer than with 1541, as this latter subsidy was all collected in that year.

The patience with which such taxation was borne, compared with the recalcitrance of the previous age, is testimony to the power won by the Tudor sovereigns as well as, probably, to the growing prosperity of the country.
In the subsidies of 1553 and 1555 the rating was that of 1545, and it was not until 1558 that graduation was totally relinquished and the rates of 4s. in the pound for land and 2s. 8d. in the pound for goods, which lasted as long as subsidies continued to be levied, were fixed. The minimum assessm.ent was £1 and 45 respectively. The latter was lowered to £3 later.
The 4s. rate on land had been first proposed in 1523 and first levied (in two payments) in the subsid}^ of 1545, in which also the 2s. Sd. rate on goods first appeared, but only as the highest figure in a scale.
Of the eighteen subsidies of Elizabeth’s reign (all accompanied by fifteenths and tenths) the second, the subsidy of 1362, is represented by our third Salford roll. Like the first (1559), it was granted with two fifteenths and tenths. It was to be paid in three years, but 2s. 8d. of the 4s. in the pound on land and IS. 8d. of the 2s. 8d. on goods were levied in the first year (1563). The Salford roll records this first collection, the total of which for the hundred was £127 iis. 8d. As the total assessment amounted to £1168, of which £619 was for land and £549 for goods, the whole yield of the subsidy when fully collected would be £197. Comparison with the Salford hundred totals in some later levies shows that b}’ the beginning of Elizabeth’s reign the subsidy, though not quite as stereotyped as the fifteenth and tenth, varied within very narrow limits in its \field. The totals for 1598 and 1599 were £206 and £201 respectively, for 1622 £196 2s. bd., and for 1625 £185 i8s. 8d. The whole amount produced by a subsidy in Elizabeth’s later years was about £80,000.^
The sums assessed on the individual townships were not fixed once and for ever, as they were in the case of the fifteenth and tenth. They could not be, for the lands of wards of the

Crown were not chargeable. Thus Middleton, which paid nearly £20 in 1600, contributed less than half that sum twenty-two years later, owing to the fact that the two chief landowners were under age. There were also occasionally wide variations in assess- ment. The Trafford lands in Stretford figured at £80 in 1563, but only £20 in 1625. The assessment of Worsley dropped from £105 in 1563 to /40 in 1625. In the former year Aspull was charged only on £3 of goods, while in the period 1599-1625 it had four landowners who were together chargeable on £y or £8, and its total tax ranged between £2 14s. and £3 i8s. It may be noted here that though by statute nobody could be charged both on lands and goods, cases occur of small landowners being at one time assessed on their land and at another on their goods.
In spite of these local variations, however, there was, as time went on, a distinct tendency towards a fixed township charge. It is true that only two townships paid exactly the same tax in 1563 and in 1625, though there were more close approximations. Buh by the end of the reign the tendency was stronger. Of the forty-one townships which appear in the rolls, fourteen paid exactly the same tax in 1622 as they had done in 1599-1600, and eight others were within a shilling or two. If we include the subsidy of 1625, the identity curiously enough is less striking, the number of identical township totals being six and the close approximations nine.
The subsidy of 1562 was followed by eight such grants, along with fifteenths and tenths, before the end of the reign. That of 1565 was of one of each, but after that the number of fifteenths was never less than two, rising to four in the Armada year, six in 1592 and 1597, and eight in 1601. The number of subsidies rose to two in 1588, three in 1592 and 1597, and four in 1601.
The fourth of the Salford rolls which we print records (as far as it goes) the levy of the third of the three subsidies of 1 5 gy. which was collected in 1600. The missing portion is supplied from the roll of the second subsidy (1599). It was this triple subsidy of 1597 which led to a severe criticism of the assessment in the Parliament of 1601. If the Salford totals were typical, failure to keep pace with the growing wealth of the country

and not actual reductions of assessment must have formed the gist of the indictment. For, as we have seen, the hundred paid more in 1599 and 1600 than it had done in 1563 or did later in 1622 and 1625. This is borne out by one of the criticisms that has been preserved. It was pointed out that justices of the peace were seldom rated at more than £6 or £10, although £20 in land was the statutory quahhcation for their office.^ But proposals for the revision of the assessment were never seriously pressed.
The grant of multiple fifteenths and subsidies was in itself evidence of antiquated assessment, and both forms of taxation were destined to disappear in the troublous century which followed. The fifteenth and tenth, as the more obsolete of the two, was naturally the first to go, though it slipped out of existence, as far as we know, without a word of open criticism. It was last collected in 1623. ^ Charles I.’s second Parliament voted fifteenths and tenths with subsidies in the old way (1626), but, as the grant was made dependent on redress of grievances which were not redressed, they were never levied. The Parlia- ment of 1628 voted five subsidies only, perhaps considering that a multiple tax on a £y 0,000 basis (it had fallen to that), and falling on lands and goods, was simpler than the old combination with a tax yielding not more than £29,000, and in theor\’ assessed only on goods. Its revival was not to be expected from the Long Parliament which found even the subsidy out of date, and of the fifteenth and tenth as a tax for national purposes the last had been heard.
As a local rate for local purposes,^ however, it long survived, and after an interval was again used for a time in raising national taxation in a different form. The Township Book of Halliwell, near Bolton,^ preserves a series of constables’ accounts from 1645 in which not only the leys for county and hundred bridges

and other public objects, but the monthly assessments, first imposed in that year by the Long Parliament, are defrayed by the levy of a proportionate number of ‘ fifteens,’ the fifteenth for Halliwell being 6s. y\d. As the amount of these monthly assess- ments was fixed by Parliament and (save for a brief period) no method of assessment within the township was prescribed, the ordinary way of rating was naturally adopted. Lists of the ratepayers to the Halliwell fifteen are given in the township book under the ^^ears 1648, 1688, and 1697. Their number varies from twenty-four to twenty-eight, and the sums paid range from a halfpenny up to one shilling and sixpence (by the lord of the manor). From these lists it is quite clear that what had originally been a tax on moveable goods had become a rate on land.^ Tax on personal property is entered separately in the accounts, which define those who paid the fifteen as ‘ inhabitants and occupiers of land.’
The county leys were apportioned among the hundreds and townships not on the basis of the old assessment for the fifteenth, but on an elaborate revision of it which dated from 1624. Its most striking feature is a great reduction in the rateability of \\Tst Derby hundred and a large increase of that of Leyland hundred. This rating was also used for the provision of men from the county for the king’s service, and was sometimes called the soldiers’ ley. In addition to these two assessments there were also in common use a rating of the county for the ox ley, or provision of oxen for the royal household, and another for the relief of maimed soldiers and of prisoners in the Marshalsea and in Lancaster Castle. These complex arrangements led to the compilation of books of rates for the county, ‘ very necessary and profitable for all Justices of the Peace and Gentlemen within the same.’ Their tables enabled the liability of any township to any county ley to be readily ascertained. A number of copies of these manuscript books have been preserved. ^

TAXATION IN SALFORD HUNDRED
Tudors survived the fifteenth and tenth, but only for forty years and in a moribund condition. Its yield was always declining and the collection was too slow for the necessities of the Long Parliament, which from 1645 preferred to fix the sum it wanted and raise it monthly. The old distinction between ordinary and extraordinary^ taxation and between direct and indirect taxes began to be effaced by the vast expenditure of this period and to give place to the conception of a consolidated annual income. Charles IT was voted a fixed annual income of £1,200,000, though the inadequacy of this grant helped to keep alive for a time the extraordinary tax for special purposes. The fixed revenue came chiefly from customs and excise. When these sources proved insufficient to miake up the amount granted, the deficiency was supplied in 1662 by the novel impost which became known as the hearth tax or chimney money. Neither its novelty nor its French origin was likely to make it popular. The charge was 2s. on every hearth or stove, but no charge was laid on (i) those who were exempted by reason of poverty or smallness of estate from church or poor rates ; (2) those occupying houses and land not over £i a year in value, provided they did not possess lands or goods worth £10. These exemptions were in 1664 limited to those who had fewer than three hearths. The tax was paid by the occupier, not by the landlord. In Salford hundred in 1666 the number of hearths returned as chargeable was 10,426. The tax would accordingly bring in £1042 12s.
It was noted at the time by Sir William Petty that the hearth tax was in its nature an excise duty on an object of expenditure or consumption, but, unlike other excise duties, was paid by the consumer and in a lump sum. This in itself was an unpopular form of taxation, and the entry of the chimney men into every^ man’s house to verify his return of his hearths was detested as a ‘ badge of slavery.’ Evasion of the tax by stopping up or pulling down hearths at once began, and the low assessment of Hough End Hall, Withington (p. 106), perhaps points to other methods of escape. Even the transference of the collection to royal officials did not have all the effect expected and ultimately- the tax was farmed out.
INTRODUCTION xxxiii
As the hearth tax brought in a certain revenue of over £170,000 a year, the Stuarts clung to it to the last, and it was left for William the Deliverer, in response to many petitions, to abolish it at his accession ‘ in order to erect a lasting monument of their Majestyies’ goodness in ever}^ hearth in the kingdom.’ But the liberator had soon occasion to miss the revenue so handsomely relinquished, and seven years later ‘ the monument in the Englishmen’s hearth,’ to quote Dowell’s crisp phrase, ‘ was darkened by the appearance of the taxgatherer at his window,’ a shadow which remained until 1851.
The reign of William III. was also a turning point in regard to taxation of a more purely direct order. It saw the beginnings of the Land Tax of the eighteenth century. The Tudor subsidy with its antiquated and inadequate assessment had been levied for the last time in 1663. The crown fell back upon the Common- wealth plan of a tax the amount of which was fixed from above. A fruitless attempt in 1670-1 to tax the nation according to its real and not its estimated capacity was renewed with somewhat more success in the first years after the Revolution. The system of fixed contributions was abandoned in favour of an uniform and equitable tax upon income ‘ by a pound rate upon estates real and personal,’ £16 13s. 4d. in personalty, t.e. capital, being taken as equivalent to £1 annual value in land. The idea was not altogether new. It can, as we have seen, be traced back in a rude shape to the early years of the fifteenth centur}^ and it had some influence upon the early assessments of the Tudor subsidy. But at the end of the seventeenth century it proved to be still an unattainable ideal. ‘ Personal property was very much underassessed and lands paid very different rates in different districts.’ ^ The result was that in 1697 the govern- ment gave up the system of a national pound rate and reverted to that of fixed quotas.
The so-called La^td Tax of the eighteenth century therefore began in the 3'’ear 1697 and not, as is sometimes stated, in 1692-3, an error due to the fact that the assessments of 1692 under a national pound rate were chosen as the basis of the quotas of the

new tax. In principle, it was only new in the fixing of these quotas, itself a reversion to earlier practice, and it got its name merely by a more conspicuous failure than ever to secure an equitable distribution of taxation by local assessment. So far was it from being intended at its institution to be a burden purely on land that land onl}^ came in as a supplementary basis for raising the fixed amount, whatever it might be. Personal estate and official incomes were to be the primary sources of the tax. But the local assessors would not trouble to grapple with the difficulties of taxing mobile wealth, and the taxation of personalty soon practically ceased altogether, though official incomes did not wholly slip out. Walpole had reason for de- scribing the land tax in 1732 as ‘ the most unequal, the most grievous and the most oppressive tax that ever was raised in this country.’ His attempt, however, to reduce its peace rate from 2s. in the pound to is. by the reimposition of the salt tax was founded on a mistaken view of the equity of the latter, and the IS. rate lasted only two years. In war-time the rate was 4s., and it was not always possible to reduce it as soon as peace was made. Each shilling brought in about half a million.
The tax was not only unfair as a burden upon a single class, but it was inequitably distributed among the members of that class. The quotas fixed on the local returns of 1692 reflected the varying attitude of different districts to the Revolutionary Settlement. ‘ Roughly speaking, the north and the west of England were assessed at comparatively low figures as compared with the amount borne by the southern and eastern parts of the kingdom.’ ^
Yet though admittedly inequitable the land tax was re- commended to statesmen and to economists like Adam Smith and agriculturists like Arthur Young by its non-inquisitorial character, its ease of collection, and its non-interference vdth prices, industry, or (being a fixed charge) with improvements. From 1776 the rate never fell below 4s., and it had become a rent charge rather than a tax. A reassessment, such as was frequently demanded, would have been unfair to those who had

bought land at a higher price because the assessment was low. Hence, with all its faults, the tax survived unchanged for a full century, and when Pitt wished to clear the way for his income tax (1799) he did not abolish the land tax but made it (as a tax on land) perpetual and redeemable. ‘ The abolition of the tax would not only have been unfair as between different landowners, but it would have amounted to a gift to the landlord class at the expense of the rest of the community.’ So far as it was still a tax on personalty, it was abolished in 1833, by which time the yield of this part of it had sunk to a miserable £5000 a year. The tax on official income was practically repealed in 1876. With Pitt’s income tax begins what by contrast may be described as the era of equitable assessment of direct taxation in this country.
The assessment for the general aid of 1692, which was stereo- typed for the ‘ land ’ tax in 1698, brought in from the county of Lancaster the sum of £21,265 i6s. M., of which £5438 12s. Tod., or rather more than one-fourth, was contributed by the hundred of Salford. The following table, compiled from the township figures which are printed below, and which we have grouped by parishes, shows that what was practically a tax on land alone at 4s. in the pound at the end of the eighteenth century yielded little more than fifty pounds less than the same rate on land and an equivalent rate on personal estate and official income a hundred years earlier :

It is true that the township figures are taken from various \'ears between 1780 and 1802, but this affects the grant total little, since in most cases the township paid exactly the same sum year after yearT The quotas were not quite so cut and dry as those of the old fifteenth, but among the half-dozen cases of variation which were noticed by Dr. Farrer's transcriber, two are matter of a few shillings only, and but one shows a difference of more than £2. This is Little Bolton, which paid £31 Ss. in 1782, £28 los. id. in 1788, and £26 12s. od. in
1795.
The onl}^ considerable part of the total given above which did not come from land or its appurtenances ^ was a sum of rather more than £270 which was paid by fifty-five officers of excise in twenty centres, nearly half of whom were stationed in Manchester, as a percentage on their official incomes. This seems to have been, with the exceptions mentioned in the footnote below, and a charge upon market profits at Manchester, the sole relic in the hundred of what had been regarded as the primary source of the tax at its institution in 1697.
It will be noticed that three of the nine parishes of the hundred, Manchester, Ashton, and Rochdale, were charged with two-thirds of the tax levied upon it. The returns for the town of Manchester record many ‘ improvements ’ and ‘ new buildings.’ A peculiarity of these returns is that in the column reserved, as elsewhere, for the names of occupiers as distinguished from proprietors, very few are entered.
The land tax returns are very voluminous. Every tenement separately occupied, even if the tax was only a penny or two, is given a line to itself with the names of the proprietor and the occupier, and frequently that of the tenement. Tenements kept in hand by the proprietor are indicated by the entry ‘ himself ’ in the occupiers’ column. As already intimated, it has not been

2 Tithes for instance. Mines and quarries were also classed with land in the original Land Tax Act, but at Ashton-under-Lyne (though apparently not else- where) the charge on them is headed ; ‘ Personalties.’ The reason doubtless is that, as is stated in several cases, they were worked by others than the owners.

thought possible or necessary to print more than a selection of the names of proprietors in each case, with a view to recording the larger estates and the chief changes in the ownership of landed property since the date of the hearth tax returns. With the extinction of old families in the male line or altogether and the rise of new men in the advance of the Industrial Revolution, the changes were considerable and no doubt affected contemporary Conservatives much in the same way as the present sale and dispersion of old estates affects their spiritual descendants in the twentieth century. But a perusal of the earlier records here printed will show that no period was exempt from such changes.
For those using the land tax returns, however, for the purpose just stated, a word of warning is necessary. My friend Mr. Porteus has called my attention to the fact that in the returns for Standish in Leyland hundred leaseholders are treated as proprietors and thus the actual ownership of the land is in many cases concealed. This was doubtless the general practice, but in a small selection of the largest taxpayers will not perhaps be very prominent.
In addition to my obligations to Dr. Farrer and Mr. Clemesha, already acknowledged, I have to thank Mr. V. H. Galbraith of the Public Record Office for much kind help. I am indebted to Mr. Ernest Axon for answers to queries about Manchester topography.

^ Probably the Thomas ^Nlarcroft who married one of the two coheirs of Thomas Seddon of Kearsley {V.C.H. v. 41).
- There seems some mistake here as Richard Heaton’s son and successor Wilham is said to have died in 1542 ( V.C.H. v. ii). For Lambert see ibid. n. 18. 3 Of Rogerstead. The estate can be traced back to the time of Edward III.

1 In Bolton parish. It would seem |
that, as in the case of Longworth, the |
lords of Withington held a mesne lordship under the barony of Manchester, but it is not noticed in inquisitions {V.C.H. v, 295). For the local tenants see ibid. 2 Now Bullough.
^ In Bolton parish. For the Witliington mesne lordship see V.C.H. v. 285-6. * The Longworths were the immediate lords.
