The various state papers on levying this aid are calendared in the “This was a stormy meeting and occasioned differences of opinion between the Commissioners for East and those for West Suffolk. The West Suffolk Commissioners were the first to meet, at Bury St. Edmunds, and determined that juries from the hundreds should only be summoned at the end of their proceedings. Sir Robert Hicham, Knt., strongly opposed the decision, and as he sat also for East Suffolk he carried with him the East Suffolk Commissioners, and adopted the Norfolk procedure of taking a presentment from jurors, hundred by hundred, at the very first. The question was referred to the Earl of Salisbury, but there is no record of his decision.”Calendar of State Papers, Domestic, 1603–1610, 494–570, passim. Henry Frederick, born February 19, 1594, died November 6, 1612. Of the meeting at Bury Mr. Redstone writes:
