"Whereas I, by the most assent and consent of the good parishioners of this towne about 5 yeares past, was electid and appointid your parish clarke and therewith to have all suche wages, duties and commodities perteyning to the same office. And for that Mr. Flecher had appointed Mr. Ruck to serve under him in his absence, a greate parte of that stipent, appertayning to my foresaid fees and wages, was abridged and taken awaye, in so muche as it was scant sufficient to mayntayn me and my poor wif. And the rather by reason of God's longe visitation amongest us, by reason wherof I could not instruct and teach children in kepeing of scole, as in tyme before I have don, which was a greate parte of my lyvinge, and the want therof gretly to my impoverishment. In tender consideration whereof, and in so much as at this instant Mr. Flecher is departid from our towne, and that (as I ame informid) Mr. Ruck hath that stipend appointid to him which Mr. Flecher had, whilest he was minister here, and further for that I know that it lieth most part in your Worshipes handes to restore those duties pertayning to my said office to me agayne, I most humbly beseche your Worshippes to extend your favourable goodwylles towardes me."

50. Petition of William Parbo, post of Sandwich, to the Lords of the Treasury. About 13 years since petitioner bought the said post's place in the name of a poor kinsman, Arthur Ruck, then a child, intending the profits to be applied towards his education. Being much impoverished by the forbearance of his post wages for ten years and a half, petitioner is unable longer to maintain his kinsman at the University of Oxford. If his arrearage of 16d. per diem were paid he should be a loser above 100l., he being at charges of boat hire to carry his Majesty's letters aboard his Majesty's ships, and of warning fires on shore, besides of horse and man by land.

April 18. 18. Report by Thomas Ruck, of Cranbrook, Kent, merchant, addressed, to the Lord Treasurer. Being at Dieppe, in company of other English merchants, and Mr. Crewes, a gentleman of Cornwall, I inquired of John Atkinson who Crewes was; was told that he was a Papist, and very conversant with the Jacobin friars in Rouen, and had great secrets committed to him touching perilous attempts against Her Majesty and the realm, which I think it my duty to reveal.
That a certain Scottish Lord had lately come to the French Court, who had been in England, in merchant's apparel three months, and had travelled in the north parts, especially in Northumberland and Cumberland, with certain gentlemen who have promised to assist him with 2,000 men or more.
That if the French King concluded peace with his subjects, the enterprise should then go forward with expedition.
That the Bishop of Ross has a large sum of money coming from the Bishop of Rome, and orders to gather a larger sum of the spirituality and religious houses in France, to further this enterprise.
Crewes declared to Atkinson that he was going immediately to Rouen and Paris, to understand more of the matter, and would return to England if I would stay 10 days, which I promised to do, but Crewes did not come.
He requested to have a gelding passed into France, when I promised to do all I could.
The French King had 30 men-of-war in the Narrow Seas, all well appointed, four whereof are taken to Rochelle. [1page.]

At another session held at the same place on 20 May 1583, before the said Sir Roger Manwood, Stephen Rucke, mayor of Sandwich, and the Commissioners before named, it was stated that 108 rods of the sea wall had been finished at Whitstable, and that 106 rods half wall in charge surmounted the last tax or scot; that the work thereabouts was thought meet for the commonwealth of the county, but because the upland and salts were not to take so much benefit as the houses and low grounds, the latter only were now to pay another, tax, at the same rate as before.
At another session held 1 June 1596, before Thos. Palmer, high sheriff of Kent, Peter Manwood, John Smith, John Boys, Wm. Partheriche, Edw. Fagge,Chas. Hales, and Thos. Hovenden, mayor of Canterbury, it was decreed that John Saver, of Whitstable, and Thos. Rucke, of Seasalter, should be expenditors in the place of John Menvile, the late expenditor, deceased, and that John Newstreate, and another not names, should be bailiffs, to collect all monies to be paid by former orders towards keeping and maintaining the sea walls, bridges, and also to collect and levy all arrears due in Menvile's lifetime, and render an account yearly, upon pain of 5l., to be levied on the offender or upon his goods, by distress or sale.
