As the copy which I have the honour to enclose, of the Instructions given by Henry the Eighth to John Becket the Usher, and John Wrothe the Sewer, of his Chamber, relative to their journey into Cornwall, for the purpose of inquiring into the conduct of William Kendall, presents a curious example of the system of espionage which that monarch occasionally adopted, and at the same time establishes an historical fact which has, it is believed, hitherto rested on conjecture, it may, in the absence of more important matter, be deemed sufficiently interesting to be communicated to the Society.
