Hall's Chronicle 1499. 23 Nov 1499. And on the three and twenty day of the same month, Perkyn and John Awater were drawn to Tyburn, and there Perkyn standing on a little scaffold, read his confession, which before you have heard, and took it on his death to be true, and so he and John Awater asked the King forgiveness and died patiently. This was the reward of the pernicious Alye and comment of Perkyn Warbeck, which as in his life with false persuasions and untrue surmises had brought many noble personages to death and utter perdition, so at his death he brought with him other of the same sort to their not undeserved punishment. And amongst other Edward Earl of Warwick which as the same went, consented to break prison, and to depart out of the realm with Perkyn (which in prisoners is high treason) was the 21st day of the said month arraigned at Westminster before the Earl of Oxford, then high Constable of England, of the said treason, which whether it were by the enticement of other or of his own freewill (many men doubt, because of his innocence) confessed the fact and submitted himself to the King's mercy.

Wriothesley's Chronicle 1485-1509. 23 Nov 1499. Perkin Werbeck (age 25) putt to death at Tyburne [Map]; and the Earle of Warwyke (age 24),^b sonne to the Duke of Clarence, who had bene kept in the Tower [Map] from the age of 11 years unto the end of 14 yeares, was beheaded at the Tower Hill [Map].^c A great pestilence throughout all England.

Note b. Edward Earl of Warwick (age 24) was the last remaining male of the honse of Plantagenet. He bore the title of Earl of Warwick, though it does not appear that his father's attainder had been reversed.

Note c. Warbeck (age 25) was executed at Tyburn [Map] on the 23rd Norember, together with O'Water, Mayor of C!ork, and the Earl of Warwick on the following day, or, according to some anthorities, on the 28th.

Note. "though it does not appear that his father's attainder had been reversed." Edward's (age 24) claim was from through his mother Isabel Neville Duchess Clarence, daughter of Richard "Kingmaker" Neville Earl Warwick, 6th Earl Salisbury and Anne Beauchamp 16th Countess Warwick, whose claim had come from her mother Anne Beauchamp, so his father's attainder was irrelevant.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1663. Thence to the Temple [Map], but being there too soon and meeting Mr. Moore I took him up and to my Lord Treasurer's (age 56), and thence to Sir Ph. Warwick's (age 53), where I found him and did desire his advice, who left me to do what I thought fit in this business of the insurance, and so back again to the Temple [Map] all the way telling Mr. Moore what had passed between my Lord and me yesterday, and indeed my fears do grow that my Lord will not reform as I hoped he would nor have the ingenuity to take my advice as he ought kindly. But however I am satisfied that the one person whom he said he would take leave to except is not Mr. Moore, and so W. Howe I am sure could tell him nothing of my letter that ever he saw it.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1663. Lord's Day. Up and to Alderman Backwell's (age 45), where Sir W. Rider, by appointment, met us to consult about the insuring of our hempe ship from Archangell, in which we are all much concerned, by my Lord Treasurer's (age 56) command.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1664. Up and to my office, where close all the morning about my Lord Treasurer's (age 57) accounts, and at noon home to dinner, and then to the office all the afternoon very busy till very late at night, and then to supper and to bed.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1664. This evening Mr. Hollyard (age 55) came to me and told me that he hath searched my boy, and he finds he hath a stone in his bladder, which grieves me to the heart, he being a good-natured and well-disposed boy, and more that it should be my misfortune to have him come to my house. Sir G. Carteret (age 54) was here this afternoon; and strange to see how we plot to make the charge of this warr to appear greater than it is, because of getting money.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1665. So in the evening to the office, where late writing letters, and at my lodging later writing for the last twelve days my Journall and so to bed. Great expectation what mischief more the French will do us, for we must fall out. We in extraordinary lacke of money and everything else to go to sea next year. My Lord Sandwich (age 40) is gone from the fleete yesterday toward Oxford.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1665. It continuing to be a great frost, which gives us hope for a perfect cure of the plague, he and I to walk in the parke, and there discoursed with grief of the calamity of the times; how the King's service is performed, and how Tangier [Map] is governed by a man (age 51), who, though honourable, yet do mind his ways of getting and little else compared, which will never make the place flourish. I brought him and had a good dinner for him, and there come by chance Captain Cuttance, who tells me how W. Howe is laid by the heels, and confined to the Royall Katharine, and his things all seized and how, also, for a quarrel, which indeed the other night my Lord told me, Captain Ferrers, having cut all over the back of another of my Lord's servants, is parted from my Lord.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1665. Up betimes, and so, being trimmed, I to get papers ready against Sir H. Cholmly (age 33) come to me by appointment, he being newly come over from Tangier [Map]. He did by and by come, and we settled all matters about his money, and he is a most satisfied man in me, and do declare his resolution to give me 200 per annum.

Evelyn's Diary. 23 Nov 1666. Note. John Mordaunt 1st Viscount Mordaunt (age 40) was accused by William Taylor, Surveyor of Windsor Castle, of having imprisoned him and raped his daughter. He was subsequently pardoned by King Charles II of England Scotland and Ireland (age 36) and left the country.

Evelyn's Diary. 23 Nov 1666. At London, I heard an extraordinary case before a Committee of the whole House of Commons, in the Commons' House of Parliament, between one Captain Taylor and my Lord Viscount Mordaunt (age 40), where, after the lawyers had pleaded and the witnesses been examined, such foul and dishonorable things were produced against his Lordship (age 40), of tyranny during his government of Windsor Castle [Map], of which he was Constable, incontinence, and suborning witnesses (of which last, one Sir Richard Breames was most concerned), that I was exceedingly interested for his Lordship (age 40), who was my special friend, and husband of the most virtuous lady (age 34) in the world. We sat till near ten at night, and yet but half the counsel had done on behalf of the plaintiff. The question then was put for bringing in of lights to sit longer. This lasted so long before it was determined, and raised such a confused noise among the members, that a stranger would have been astonished at it. I admire that there is not a rationale to regulate such trifling accidents, which consume much time, and is a reproach to the gravity of so great an assembly of sober men.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1666. Thence home, and after dinner to my chamber with Creed, who come and dined with me, and he and I to reckon for his salary, and by and by comes in Colonel Atkins, and I did the like with him, and it was Creed's design to bring him only for his own ends, to seem to do him a courtesy, and it is no great matter. The fellow I hate, and so I think all the world else do. Then to talk of my report I am to make of the state of our wants of money to the Lord Treasurer (age 59), but our discourse come to little. However, in the evening, to be rid of him, I took coach and saw him to the Temple [Map] and there 'light, and he being gone, with all the haste back again and to my chamber late to enter all this day's matters of account, and to draw up my report to my Lord Treasurer (age 59), and so to bed.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1666. Here I spoke with Sir G. Downing (age 41) about our prisoners in Holland, and their being released; which he is concerned in, and most of them are. Then, discoursing of matters of the House of Parliament, he tells me that it is not the fault of the House, but the King's own party, that have hindered the passing of the Bill for money, by their popping in of new projects for raising it: which is a strange thing; and mighty confident he is, that what money is raised, will be raised and put into the same form that the last was, to come into the Exchequer; and, for aught I see, I must confess I think it is the best way.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1668. Up, and called upon by W. Howe, who went, with W. Hewer (age 26) with me, by water, to the Temple; his business was to have my advice about a place he is going to buy-the Clerk of the Patent's place, which I understand not, and so could say little to him, but fell to other talk, and setting him in at the Temple [Map], we to White Hall, and there I to visit Lord Sandwich (age 43), who is now so reserved, or moped rather, I think, with his own business, that he bids welcome to no man, I think, to his satisfaction. However, I bear with it, being willing to give him as little trouble as I can, and to receive as little from him, wishing only that I had my money in my purse, that I have lent him; but, however, I shew no discontent at all.

Pepy's Diary. 23 Nov 1668. So to White Hall, where a Committee of Tangier expected, but none met. I met with Mr. Povy (age 54), who I discoursed with about publick business, who tells me that this discourse which I told him of, of the Duke of Monmouth (age 19) being made Prince of Wales, hath nothing in it; though he thinks there are all the endeavours used in the world to overthrow the Duke of York (age 35). He would not have me doubt of my safety in the Navy, which I am doubtful of from the reports of a general removal; but he will endeavour to inform me, what he can gather from my Lord Arlington (age 50). That he do think that the Duke of Buckingham (age 40) hath a mind rather to overthrow all the Kingdom, and bring in a Commonwealth, wherein he may think to be General of their Army, or to make himself King, which, he believes, he may be led to, by some advice he hath had with conjurors, which he do affect.

Evelyn's Diary. 23 Nov 1670. Dined with the Earl of Arlington (age 52), where was the Venetian Ambassador, of whom I now took solemn leave, now on his return. There were also Lords Howard, Wharton (age 57), Windsor (age 43), and divers other great persons.

Evelyn's Diary. 23 Nov 1690. Carried Mr. Pepys's (age 57) memorials to Lord Godolphin (age 45), now resuming the commission of the Treasury, to the wonder of all his friends.

Roger Whitley's Diary. 23 Nov 1690. Sonday, was not at church; dined at home, Bidolph & Chester witnesses with me; went about 4 to Temple taverne; there was Bidolph, G.Mainwaring (age 47), Pascall, Whitaker, Comberbach, &c. parted at 9.

After 23 Nov 1733. Monument to John Meller at St Deiniol & St Marcella Church, Marchwiel [Map] sculpted by Peter Scheemakers (age 42).

Greville Memoirs. 23 Nov 1831. Saw George Bentinck in the afternoon, who confirmed my apprehension that Wharncliffe (age 55) had been cajoled into a negotiation which Government intended should end by getting all they want. Richmond, Grey, and Palmerston were in a minority of three in the Cabinet for putting off the meeting of Parliament. One of the most Radical of the Cabinet is Goderich. Such a thing it is to be of feeble intellect and character, and yet he is a smart speaker, and an agreeable man. The moderate party are Richmond, who cannot have much weight, Stanley, who is in Ireland, Lansdowne, who is always 'gone to Bowood,' Palmerston, and Melbourne. Yet I am led to think that if Wharncliffe (age 55) had insisted on better conditions, and held out, he would have got them, and that the Cabinet were really disposed to make all the concessions they could without compromising themselves. The meeting in the City yesterday was a total failure. Henry Drummond, who is mad, but very clever, and a Reformer, though for saving the rotten boroughs, spoke against the declaration, some others followed him, and after a couple of hours wasted in vain endeavours to procure unanimity the meeting broke up, and nothing was done. I saw Wharncliffe (age 55) last night, who was exceedingly disappointed.

The Diary of George Price Boyce 1852. 23 Nov 1852. Spoke to father for first time touching my desire to take a studio somewhere, as it would be of great advantage to me in my professional progress. After a little hesitation and objection he and mother seemed to fall in with the notion, but recommended my sleeping at home.

The Diary of George Price Boyce 1855-1857. 23 Nov 1857. Mordan (brother-in-law) told me he had gone to see Mr. W. Boone after I had been there, and that the old gentleman was very crusty and ill-natured in his remarks about me, went against my wearing a wide-awake hat and letting my hair grow, and my personal appearance generally; abused the whole body of artists generally, whom he considered as an immoral and conceited set of men, and so on.

The London Gazette 23799. Whitehall, November 23, 1871. The Queen (age 52) has been pleased to appoint the Right Honourable Sir Robert Porrett Collier (age 54), Knt., to be a Member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council for the purposes and under the provisions of an Act passed in the last Session of Parliament, intituled "An Act to make further provision for the despatch of business by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council."

The Times. 23 Nov 1912. We regret to announce that Mr. James Beresford Atlay (deceased), a well-known man of letters, died yesterday.

He was born in 1860 at Leeds, of which town his father, afterwards Bishop of Hereford, was the highly-valued vicar. Young Atlay went to Wellington College, and in due course became head of the school and Queen's Medallist, and in 1879 he obtained an open scholarship at Oriel College, Oxford. He did well at the university, but distinguished himself rather in general and historical subjects than in pure scholarship, and in 1883 he obtained a first class in Modern History. In 1887 he was called to the Bar, and in the following year was appointed Registrar of the Diocese of Hereford, a post which he retained until 1910. His work henceforth lay chiefly in in legal and biographical publications among which may be mentioned "The Trial of Lord Cochrane" (1897), "Famous Trials of the 19th Century" (1899), and the most important book, more or less continuing Lord Campbell's celebrated work, "Lives of the Victorian Chancellors" (two volumes). He also, mindful of his time at Oxford, wrote the authorized Life of Sir Henry Acland, better known as the "Dr. Acland" who was the friend of Liddell, Ruskin, and other eminent men, and head of his profession in Oxford and its neighbourhood; and the authorized Life of Bishop E. R. Wilberforce, published this year. Mr. Atlay also edited the two standard books on International Law by Hall and Wheaton. In later years he was much employed as a "reader: by Messrs. Smith, Elder and was a copious and very useful contributor to the Dictionary of National Biography. In 1910 he was made a Special Commissioner of Income-tax.

The funeral will be at Brookwood on Tuesday, after service at Holy Trinity, Sloane-street, at 10.15.
