shaw, a priest. No other person is mentioned in 

 the will ; his widow survived him a few years 

 only, and died, according to Lodge, 7 Hen. VIII., 

 1515. E. HoBTON, 



Bed Coats. — I have always heard that the red 

 colour for soldiers' uniforms (the very worst for 

 service at home, abroad, or in the field), came in 

 with the Elector of Hanover, George I., of Eng- 

 land, whose troops " over the water " were clothed 

 in that colour.* Centubion. 



Constable of England. — Can any of your anti- 

 quarian readers give instances of the office of 

 Constable of England, which the Duke of Wel- 

 lington filled at the Coronation of George IV., 

 having ever been really held as an efl5cient post ? 

 It does not appear, unless I am mistaken, that it 

 was ever held by Shrewsbury, or Chandos, or 

 Leicester, or Salisbury, or any of the great 

 knights in the time of the Norman and Plan- 

 tagenet kings whom one would most expect to 

 find invested with it. Consive. 



Prayers and Intercessions. — Will some corre- 

 spondent learned in " Forms of Prayer " tell me 

 anything of the following, an 8vo., containing 53 

 pages and a table of contents : — 



" Prayers and Intercession for their use who mourn in 

 Secret for the Publick Calamities of this Nation." 



This clearly refers to the Great Rebellion. The 

 character of the book is penitential throughout. 

 Contains four prayers of K. David; his tears; 

 prayers for the King, Queen-mother and her 

 Koyal progeny, &c. ; Confession, Absolution, &c., 

 and ends with a proper prayer for the 30th of 

 January, being the anniversary of England's cap- 

 tivity and tyrant's liberty. 



My copy, though very well bound somewhere 

 about 1670 or '80, had lost its title. I want to 

 know when and where printed, by whom com- 

 posed, and what was the title ? J. C. J. 



Charles Odingsells, of Trin. Coll. Camb., B. A. 

 1602—3, M.A. 1606, published, 1620 (London, 

 8vo.), Two Sermons on Matt. vii. 22, 23. He was 

 created D.D. 1621, and occurs in 1630 as a com- 

 missioner for causes ecclesiastical in the province 

 of York. We shall be glad to know where he 

 was preferred, and when he died.

Cambridge. 



Thomas Ingledew, Chaplain to Bishop Waynjlete, 

 the Founder of Magdalen College, Oxford. — Dr. 

 Chandler, in his Life of the Bishop, states that 

 Thomas Ingledew of the diocese of York, one of 

 the bishop's chaplains, gave to Magdalen College, 

 Oxford, in October, 1461, a sum of money to be 



I* This coloured uniform was used bv the soldiers of 

 William III. See N. & Q. 1st S. ix. 56.] 



applied to the purchase of land and rents for the 

 augmentation of two Fellowships to be filled by 

 clerks born in the dioceses of York and Durham, 

 who were to celebrate mass for his soul, the soul 

 of John Bowyke, the souls of his parents, and the 

 soul of Eleanor Aske. Can any of your readers 

 inform me in what place or parish in the old 

 diocese of York Thomas Ingledew was born or 

 officiated as a clerk or clergyman, or where the 

 Ordination Kegisters of that period are to be 

 found ? Hejjbt Ingledew. 



Newcastle-upou-Tjme. 



William JEasdall, educated in Cambridge, LL.B. 

 1616, LL.D. 1621, was Chancellor of the diocese 

 of York, and Official Principal of the Bishop of 

 Durham. Peter Smart, Prebendary of Durham, 

 brought an action against him in respect of the 

 proceedings in the Court of High Commission. 

 It appears that Dr. Easdall was living in 1642. 

 Farther information respecting him will be ac- 

 ceptable to C. H. & Thompson Coopeb. 

 Cambridge. 



Archbishop's Mitre. — Can you give me the 

 origin of the coronet on the mitre of English 

 archbishops ? J. Ms. 



Governors of Carrickfergus Castle. — Fynes 

 Moryson, in 1598, states that the salary of the 

 governor of this castle was 182Z. 10*. per annum. 

 An imperfect list of governors, given in M'Skim- 

 min's History of Carrickfergus, contains several 

 celebrated names ; but my object is to discover, if 

 possible, the names of any persons who held that 

 office previous to 1568, and subsequent to 1828. 

 The name of the first governor of whom I can 

 find any record is William Piers, appointed in 

 1568. Those who have held that office in the 

 present century are : — 



1809. Francis Dundas. 



1823. General Sir Baldwin Leighton. 



1828. Sir Henry Moncrief. 



Has any governor been appointed since 1828? 

 If not, who was the last who held this office, and 

 when and why was it abolished ? Alpbed T. Lee. 



Inscription in St. Nicholas Church, Abingdon. — 

 In Ashmole's Antiquities of Berkshire (fol. 1736) 

 occurs the following curious inscription (p. GS.): — 



"v. A. B.I.N. D.O.N. R.F.I 



" Take the first Letter of youre foure Fader, with A, 

 the worker of Wer, & I and N the Colore of an Asse ; 

 set them together, & tel me yf you can, what it is than. 

 Richard Fannande, Irenmonger, hathe made this Tabu), & 

 set it here in the Yere of King Henry the Sexte, XXVI'*. 



What is it ? Quebist.
