And if they have not [wherewithal] to pay, then the parents or masters of such persons so offending to pay the said 6 [pence] or to suffer the like imprisonment." (Similar language is found in 1579 entry [page 148], but it lacked the name "Typing" and did not mention a ball.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;John Harland, editor, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Court Leet Records of the Manor of Manchester in the Sixteenth Century&lt;/span&gt; (Chetham Society, 1864), page 156. Accessed 1/27/10 via Google Books search: "court leet" half-bowls. &lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; The game gidigadie is not known to us, but the 1864 editor notes elsewhere (page 149, footnote 61) that was "not unlikely" to be tip-cat, and he interprets "typing" as tipping. As later described [see "Tip-Cat" and "Pallet" at &lt;a href="http://retrosheet.org/Protoball/Glossary.htm"&gt;http://retrosheet.org/Protoball/Glossary.htm&lt;/a&gt;], tip-cat could be played with a cat or a ball, and could involve running among holes as bases. &lt;strong&gt;Caveat:&lt;/strong&gt; we do not yet know what the nature of the proscribed game was in Elizabethan times.&lt;/p&gt;".
