Paul Bushe, Prior of the Bonhommes at Edington in Wiltshire, was appointed first Bishop of Bristol (a see then newly created), 16 June, and consecrated 25 June, 1542; and it is not likely that he married until he became a bishop, or until after the death of Henry VIII. At the entrance to the north choir aisle from the Lady Chapel in Bristol Cathedral there is a canopied tomb (with an emaciated cadaver under the canopy) which is said to be that of Bishop Paul Bushe; his wife, Edith Ashley by name, lies buried close by under the altar steps. The epitaph and Latin verses connected with it are recorded by Browne Willis. Whether they are now existent I do not know. They may have been renovated, but they seem worthy of a place here : "Hic jacet Dominus Paulus Bush primus hujus Ecclesiæ Episcopus, qui obiit 11 die Octobris A.D. 1558. Etatis suæ 68. Cujus animæ propitietur Deus. Dignus qui primam circum sua tempora mitram A patre Bush dictus, Paulum Baptisma vocavit, F. DE H. L. MR. A. C. JONAS at the penultimate reference is mixing up two bishops called William Barlow: the first (successively occupant of the sees of St. Asaph, St. Davids, Bath and Wells, and Chichester) died in August, 1568; the second (successively occupant of the sees of Rochester and Lincoln) died 7 Sept., 1613. The query appears to be as to who was the first Englishman to marry after becoming a bishop. William Barlow, son of the first above mentioned, was born at St. Davids when his father was bishop, i.e., between 1536 and 1549. Bush became Bishop of Bristol in 1542. If, however, the query is, What English married man first became bishop? answer is surely Cranmer, who had recently the married his second wife, the niece of Osiander, when he became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1533. As Henry VIII. did not approve of married clergy, Cranmer up in a box." shut his wife Dr. Nicholas Harpsfield, Archdeacon of Canterbury, thus writes (Camden Soc., Second Series, xxi. 275) :— "The Archbishop of Canterbury was married in King Henry his days, but kept his woman very 66 close, and sometime carried her about with him in a great chest full of holes. that his pretty nobsey might take breath at. In the meanwhile it so fire [18 Dec., 1543]; but lord what a stir and care chanced that his place at Canterbury was set on was there for this pretty nobsey and for this chest; all other care in a manner was set aside. He caused that chest with all speed to be conveyed out of danger, and gave great charge of it, crying out that above any worldly treasure was in that chest; and his evidences and other writings which he esteemed this I heard out of the mouth of a gentleman that was there present, and knew of this holy mystery.' The word nobsey is not in N.E.D.' Holgate, when Archbishop of York, was said the parties had been privately married married after banns 15 June, 1549; but it was at an earlier date.

This mode of argument seems to have been familiar to Boswell, if we may judge from what he says in one of his Letters to the Rev. W. J.

According to the Berca Quarterly, quoted by The Manchester Guardian of 19 December last, the traveller stopping at a lonely cottage in the hill country of Kentucky may hear the mother quiet an unruly child by saying "Behave now, son, or Clavers will get you.'

The date at which the story begins is not given, but, "Sir John Sydenham, Bart., married for his first wife Mary, daughter and coheir of John Buckland of West Harpetre, co.

For " Brompton read Brimp ton, Somerset. Mary, second wife of Sir John Sydenham, and subsequently second wife of Andrew, Lord Gray, was a daughter of Sir Thomas Guldeford of Hemsted in Cranbrook, Kent, and wife of John Baker of Sissinghurst in the same county (pedigree of Sydenham, by H. Stanley Head, Misc. Gen. et Her., Second Series, iii. 327, and Complete Baronetage,' vol. i. sub Baker). A letter of Arthur Sanders to Edmund Parr of 15 Feb., 1628, mentions the marriage of Lady Sydenham with Lord Gray, she being fourscore, and he four-and-twenty ('S.P. Dom.,' p. 258). The difference in age is exaggerated, as such discrepancies are in gossip: the writer probably aimed at euphony rather than truth. Lord Gray was certainly older, but his bride need not have been much younger, having borne a son to her former husband as far back as 1587 or so (Complete Baronetage,' as above). 66 and letters of administration of the estate of Mary, Lady Gray, of St. Giles-in-theFields, were granted, 4 Jan., 1631/2, to her grandson Sir John Baker, Bt., and on the 16th of the same month to her husband Andrew, Lord Gray (P.C.C.). 6 Three errors should be pointed out, incidentally, in G. E. C.'s monumental works referred to above. The compiler's doubts as to Lady Gray's first marriage have resulted in superfluous and mistaken foot-notes on the subject of the 1631/2 administration both under Gray in the Peerage' and under Baker in the Baronetage' (vol. i. p. 72). Under the Sydenham baronetcy (vol. ii.) the statement that Sir John Sydenham, the first Baronet, succeeded his father in 1625 is incorrect, since his father, John Sydenham, proved the will of his father Sir John Sydenham, Kt.

I cannot give the date, as unfortunately I did not preserve it. I have, however, the original cutting in a scrapbook. It was prefaced by the following: "Some silly people, with the Bishop's sanction too, have put a memorial window to King Charles the Martyr' in a church in Philadelphia. Near by William Penn's statue surmounts the dome of the City Hall." 66 That Dr. Garnett was not the author of the epigram is evident from the fact that a few days later the following letter appeared in the before-mentioned newspaper :Solvonter Risu Tabula. To the Editor of The Evening Post. SIR,-Your Philadelphia correspondent Mr. Curtis calls attention to two blunders in my squib of last week relative to the honors lately paid to the memory of King Charles I. What was done at the Church of the Evangelists, he says, could not possibly have been a canonization of King Charles, that event having occurred more than two hundred years ago,' while, moreover, the picture dedicated was not a glass window at all, but an oil painting.

ARMY AND MILITIA LISTS (10 S. x. 489).— There is a long series of these Lists, but not, I think, quite complete, in the British Museum (Newspaper Room). I do not know how far back they go. Failing these official lists, or until he can get a set, MR. WILLIAMS will find what claim to be " complete lists of the Army and Navy," &c., in "The Gentleman's Register; or, Rider's British Merlin,' which appeared annually. My earliest issue of this is for 1749. I have a the final e. In a foot-note it says: "He good many volumes of both the 'Register' died 21st Oct. at the Ship' Inn, Dover, and the official Army Lists, but nothing on his way to France." like complete sets.

They sometimes occur in second-hand booksellers' catalogues. W. ROBERTS. 47, Lansdowne Gardens, Clapham, S.W. AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED (10 S. x. 510 ; xi. 32).— From what small causes, &c.

There does not appear to be the possibility of an error in these records. Another authority, and one of almost equal weight, may be quoted. Mrs. A.

In the church of St. Mary in that town there is a monument to his memory; and it has been generally imagined that Foote was buried there Such, however, is not the fact. Mr. Jewell, at the representation of half the actors and dramatists of the day, brought the body to London, in order that it might be publicly interred in Westminster Abbey; but after he had taken this step, no funds were forthcoming, and he buried his friend at his own expense in the cloisters.' SIR AFFABLE. The inscription quoted by MR. BAVINGTON JONES from the stone in St. Mary's Church, Dover, makes no reference to the interment of Foote. But in the late Col. Joseph Lemuel Chester's magnum opus, The Marriage, Baptismal, and Burial Registers in the Collegiate Church or Abbey of St. Peter, Westminster' (1876), p. 424, we find under date 1777 the following entry: "Nov. 3, Samuel Foot, Esq; aged 55, in the West Cloister." The name is there spelt without Westminster. [DIEGO also thanked for reply.] "OLD KING COLE" (10 S. x. 510; xi. 13)-I would refer MISS MOOYAART to Nursery Rhymes and Country Songs,' by M. H. Mason (Metzler), where she will find a traditional version of the tune of this song, with the first two verses, wherein the jovial monarch calls for his fiddlers and drummers. Miss Mason suggests that the song may be continued, with the introduction of a new instrument at every verse, ad libitum. I think it is a pity that the author did not give us the last verse of the fullest copy she could get, as the traditional rendering of the monotone to which the cumulative part of the chorus is sung in this and similar ditties often possesses a rhythmic fascination that might escape singers whose methods are conventionalized by musical instruction.
