_Capture of Henry VI._ (Vol. ii., p. 228.).--In his correction of your
correspondent, CLERICUS CRAVENSIS, MR. NICHOLS states:--
"Both Sir John Tempest and Sir James Harrington of Brierley,
near Barnesley, were concerned in the king's capture, and each
received 100 marks reward; but the fact of Sir Thomas Talbot
being the chief actor, is shown by his having received the
larger reward of 100l."
In this statement appears entirely to have been overlooked the grant of
lands made by King Edward IV. to Sir James Harrington--
"For his services in taking prisoner, and withholding as such in
diligence and valour, his enemy Henry, lately called King Henry
VI."
This grant, which was confirmed in Parliament, embraced the castle,
manor, and domain of Thurland; a park, called Fayzet Whayte Park, with
lands, &c. in six townships in the county of Lancaster; lands at Burton
in Lonsdale, co.
