Yorkshire Quarte Sessions - 1687

[mezentia]

I have two more Yorkshire quarter session entries, this time for a John Scatchard, both dated 1687. I need some help, please, in transcribing them and translating from the Latin.

Here's the first one ...

As regards the 2nd extract, I remember it from earlier, and I see that I translated it for you about 3 years ago:

Do you need the Latin transcript too?

[mezentia]

Apologies, Bookbox, I seem to have missed that one. I had put this particular piece of researchto one side for quite some time as I was focussing on an article for the Mills Archive, and have only just come back to it. If you are able to make a transcription of the original latin, I would very much appreciate it.

Ac quod Joh(ann)es Scatcherd nup(er) de Eastkeswick in le Westridd(ing) Com(itatus)

conc(er)nen(s) magno sigillo Anglię adtunc & ib(ide)m hec verba Anglicana seditiosa

doe not care for the Kings broad seale nor never a Seale

in England  In contempt(um) d(i)c(t)i d(omi)ni R(egi)s legu(m) sua(rum) Ac contra

ADDED
I think the verdict/sentence at the top (heavily abbreviated) shows that for seditious conversation he was fined 10s. payable to the Exchequer.

Thank you.
