DIGBY, FRANCIS (Brit.). "On the 30th November, 1581, Francis Digby, gentleman, of Garrodon, in the county of Leicester, had a free pardon for the counterfeiting of shillings and groats, made of copper and tin, and of rialls and crowns and for issuing the same " (King's Journal, p. 33). Digby may have had some connection with Sharrington in the frauds which he practised upon the mint at Bristol (Ruding I, p. 324, note).
