Outrages

57. Matthew Anderton to James Clarke, 13 Sep. 1682, HMC, Ormonde, N. S., vi, 444.
58. Bore, iii, 166.
59. Edmund Verney to John Verney, 12 Nov. 1682, BL, Verney, M 636/37.
60. Luttrell, i, 250; Memoirs, pp. 97-98; London Gazette, No. 1801 (19-22 Feb. 1683). The
author of the Memoirs (probably Oldmixon) mistakenly guesses the date of the race as "about
1678." It actually took place on 15/25 Feb. 1683. The pistole, or Louis d'or, was a gold coin
valued at about seventeen shillings; hence Tom's prize was worth something like £850-about ten
times the value of the average plate at Newmarket.
61. Monmouth himself was making a progress in the Chichester area at the time of the race.
62. Memoirs, p. 98.
