Excerpt from The Note-Book of Tristram Risdon: Author of the 'Survey of the County of Devon', 1608 1628

The list of Justices Itinerant is very incomplete, but it is useful as far as it goes, and in many cases mentions the Court over which, when in the Capital, each Justice presided.

The list of the Mayors of Exeter varies considerably from the published lists, for which without doubt all later authors are indebted to the labours of John Hooker, alias Vowel. Many of the variations are, however, to be accounted for by the fact that whereas Hooker and his successors give the Christian year in which each Mayor was elected, Risdon adopts the regnal year of each succeeding King, and probably was unacquainted with the actual date of election.
