Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... his Dyet." This shows that the 16th of August, 1675, was Monday. l-Ir. Laughton was schoolmaster in Southampton for several years and many deeds and wills written by him are in existence. His name was pronounced "Layton." On March 24. 1679, it was voted "That where as there is different apprehensions conserning the way of raising pay for a scoole master to teach children to write & reade, which is soe needful," it was agreed to leave it to the determination of the governor-and the high court of Assizes "which way is ye most just & equalest to be carried on."
