In the past, the duties of the state, as Sir Henry Maine noted long ago, were only two in number: internal order and external security.

Like his late colleague, Mitropoulos, he reads mystery stories, in particular Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Sturley wrote to Quiney that Sir Edward `` gave his allowance and liking thereof, and affied unto us his best endeavour, so that his rights be preserved '', and that `` Sir Edward saith we shall not be at any fault for money for prosecuting the cause, for himself will procure it and lay it down for us for the time ''.

In his letter mentioning Shakespeare on January 24, 1597/8, Sturley asked Quiney especially that `` theare might ( be ) bi Sir Ed. Grev. some meanes made to the Knightes of the Parliament for an ease and discharge of such taxes and subsedies wherewith our towne is like to be charged, and I assure u I am in great feare and doubte bi no meanes hable to paie.

Sir Ed. Gre. is gonne to Brestowe and from thence to Lond. as I heare, who verie well knoweth our estates and wil be willinge to do us ani good ''.

He suggested offering half to Sir Edward, fearing lest `` he shall thinke it to good for us and procure it for himselfe, as he served us the last time ''.

Sturley's allusion probably explains why Greville took out the patent in the names of Best and Wells, for Sir Anthony Ashley described Best as `` a scrivener within Temple Bar, that deals in many matters for my L. Essex '' through Sir Gelly Merrick, especially in `` causes that he would not be known of ''.

He asked Quiney to find out whether the money had been paid and, if not, to send to the lodging of Sir Edward and entreat him to pay what he owed.

Further letters in November mention that Sir Edward paid forty pounds.

When Sir Edward Greville enclosed the town commons on the Bancroft, Quiney and others leveled his hedges on January 21, 1600/1, and were charged with riot by Sir Edward.
