Further Notes
Assistantship - Greg (p.xxiii) thought it "reasonable to suppose that past officers remained members of the Court" and that most of those men who became Assistants between 1576 and 1602 without evidence of direct election --- did so by virtue of their election as Under Warden. ---

NEWBERY (RALPH), bookseller in London, 1560-1607; Fleet Street, a little above the Conduit. Ralph Newbery took up his freedom in the Company on January 21st, 1559/60, and made his first book entry in the Registers before May 4th in the same year [Arber, i. 121, 127]. He became an influential member of the Company, serving the office of Junior Warden in the years 1583-4 and 1584-5, that of Senior Warden in the years 1589-90 and 1590-1. He was Master in the years 1598 and 1601. He was appointed one of the deputies of Christopher Barker { BARKER, Christopher (1529 - 1599) ‹ LBT 06871 › }, and was in partnership with Henry Denham { DENHAM, Henry ‹ LBT 08578 › } as assign of Henry Bynneman { BYNNEMAN, Henry (1542 - 1583) ‹ LBT 07678 › }, printer. Ralph Newbery died before April 24th, 1607, when his will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. He owned property in Berks, as well as his house and shop in Fleet Street. His stock of books in Stationers' Hall he directed should be sold and one part of the proceeds given to the poor of the Company, and further that Roger Jackson { JACKSON, Roger ( - 1626) ‹ LBT 08130 › } and John Norcott { prob. NORTH, John ‹ LBT 08133 › } his late apprentices should have his stock of books in his shop at Fleet Street; but they do not seem to have avaiied themselves of the offer [P.C.C., 30, Hudlestone ].
