Hi Paul,

A 'carbine' was a cross between a pistol and a musket used by cavalrymen -
hence a 'horsemen piece'

Not sure about the other weapons but someone on the list will know who Mr
Calliner was etc.

The brewing items......

Covell - various old spellings - cowl - a large tub with two ears - wooden
or rope - which enabled it to be carried
on a cowl-staff

Trondle - version of 'trundle' - a low truck on wheels

Tunnill - this is used in the sense of a pipe - a funnel, usually for
filling bottles

Shelues - is this just 'shelves' perhaps



regards,

Keith Feeney
