Description:

Overview		Editor
In RH's & MP's batch supplies the "Ignoramus" endorsements on two (possibly three) bills of indictment. In both verified cases, the endorsement is followed by the signature "Robert Payne foreman". The aspect and duct of the signature differ from those of the endorsements to an extent which suggests that Payne himself was not responsible for them.		Peikola
