Only two of these entries relate to expenses connected with this individual's official situation. The others were payments of money lost to him by the king at dice, cards, and bowls, excepting on one occasion, when money was paid him to be His Majesty's partner at one of these games. It is thus manifest that he enjoyed a large share of the king's personal favour. His name has not been precisely ascertained. Richard Hill, whose widow remarried Sir John Mason, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was Serjeant of the Cellar in this reign, but in what years is uncertain.

A Chape, is explained in Todd's Johnson to be "the catch of any thing by which it is held in its place, as the hook of a scabbard by which it sticks in the belt; the point by which a buckle is held to the back-strap;" also, "a brass or silver tip or case that strengthens the end of the scabbard of a sword." "'Chape' is sometimes applied to the hook of a scabbard, and at others to what is by Heralds termed the crampet, in which case the other metallic pieces on the scabbard are called Lockets. Chape like Chapter, seems to be derived from Caput."--M*.
