It doesn't explain freed by a pale though . . .I am wondering if the person concerned was freed because he was a minister or one of the other exemptions listed . . .


Or something else occured to me - could he have been 'freed from prison' because he 'agreed' to serve in the militia?   That thinking comes from 'beyond the pale - or out of bounds'.     

I could be way off the mark, but would be interested to find out.

My guess is that a pale is just a quirky spelling of 'appeal' (as in 'freed by appeal', 'the day of appeal').

That is a good thought!    ;)

 - but then what does Pale/Pole mean in the last two lines.     :-\

Presumably it was the deadline for making any appeal.

Thank you all! Yes, I agree, I don't think spelling was this fellow's strong suit!

It seems as if one could appeal his military liability (exemption). I think this Joseph Dorey was born in West Lulworth, 1780. Would it make sense, geographically for him to be in East Stoke? I hadn't thought of "Woole" being a town.

Great suggestions!

East Stoke is 3 miles west of Wareham and 2 miles east of Wool.

Useful site for a variety of Dorset records, not just census or parish registers!

Here's an article from 13 November 1809 (couldn't find one for the year in question) that backs up your theory.
