NOTES AND QUERIES. 



403 



Hanover Square, and was buried in the burial- 

 ground of Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley Street. 



Can any of your readers tell me when and where 

 Mrs, Mallet, his widow, died ? Who was T. C, 

 the writer of a letter in the Gentleman s Magazine^ 

 vol. Ixii. pt. l.p. 100. F. 



Town-halls (Vol. v., p. 295.). —Mr. J. H. Pak- 

 KEE, in his Query respecting old town-halls, men- 

 tions the Town-hall of Weobly, in Herefordshire, 

 as an early example of timber-work. Similar 

 examples exist at Hereford, Ross, Ledbury, and 

 Leominster, in the same county. These buildings 

 are all constructed upon the same plan, viz. a 

 large oblong room supported on wooden pillars ; 

 so that there is an open covered space beneath, 

 which is used for the purposes of a market. With 

 respect to the age of these buildings I can give no 

 information ; but something might doubtless be 

 determined, partly by records, and partly by the 

 Internal evidence of the style of construction. L. 



In reply to Mb. J. H. Parker's Query about 

 Town-halls, I beg to say that in Leicester there 

 are still standing a Guildhall (part of which Is 

 undoubtedly of a date as early as the middle of 

 the fourteenth century) and a County Hall, called 

 " The Castle," similar to the old building at Oak- 

 ham. The foundation- walls of the latter are parts 

 of the original fabric, and one of the windows Is 

 clearly of the Transition period. Jaytee. 



Whiting's Watch (Vol. Hi., p. 352.). — On read- 

 ing this you may exclaim, " Quae regio in terrls 

 nostri non plena laboris." Before this note reaches 

 you, I may have been anticipated; but I will 

 venture It, if only to show that your delightful 

 publication extends its charms even to the " be- 

 nighted." 



^ I wish to inform C. O. S. M., in furtherance of 

 his Query, that Whiting's watch is included In 

 Thorpe's (178. Piccadilly) Catalogue for 1843, 

 No. 689, and is there given as from the collection 

 of the late Duke of Sussex, who obtained it from 

 the Rev. John Bowen. B. C. 



Madras, March 13. 



The Birthplace of St. Patrick (Vol. v., p. 344.) 

 Is fully discussed by Dr. Rock at the end of a 

 small work entitled Did the Early Church in Ire- 

 land acknowledge the Pope's Supremacy ? Perhaps 

 CEyREP may think his question met by the autho- 

 rities set forth in the above-named book. Brito. 



Family of Grey (Vol. v., p. 298.).— I am much 

 obliged by the answer to part of my Query ; but I 

 should be very glad to know the name of the lady 

 Thomas, second brother of the Marquis of Dorset, 

 married, and who was mother by him of Margaret, 

 wife of John Astley*, Master of the Jewels to 

 Queen Elizabeth. C, de D. 



* Query, not Ashley. 



JEdward Bagshaw (Vol. v., p. 298.). — W. B. 

 Inquires whether Sir Edward Bagshaw, of Finglas, 

 left other children besides two daughters ; whicli 

 two he describes as married to Ryves and Bur- 

 roughs respectively? and whether Castle-Bag- 

 shaw, in the co. Cavan, took Its name from this 

 branch of the family, with any other information 

 concerning this Sir Edward ? 



I have looked Into my Cavan MS. Collections, 

 and I find from them that Sir Edward Bagshaw 

 had been, so far as I can at present see, an adven- 

 turer of Cromwell's introduction, debentured on 

 lands of Cavan, viz. Callaghan, Tirgromley, Derry- 

 chill, Timhowragh, and seventeen other denomina- 

 tions, which were thereupon erected into the manor 

 of Castlebagshaw, and whereon he built a castle : 

 such I suppose the origin of the manor and castle. 

 It is more certain, and indeed on proof before me, 

 that he had one daughter named Anne, and married 

 before 1654 to Thomas Richardson, of Dublin, Esq., 

 who, having paid 600/. to Sir Edward, he, for that 

 consideration, and for the marriage, granted all 

 the premises to Richardson in fee, who assigned 

 them In 1661 to four different persons. One of 

 these assignees was Ambrose Bedell, a son of the 

 celebrated William Bedell, Bishop of Kilmore and 

 Ardagh. Sir Edward Bagshaw died about 1661, 

 possibly just previous to this partition. His latter 

 days were I think passed at Finglas, In the descrip- 

 tion of which locality, in my History of the Co. 

 Dublin, I find this apposite notice (p. 371.): 

 " Under the communion table are flat tombstones 

 of very ancient date, to the families of Bagshaw 

 and Byves;" but their position precluded my de- 

 cyphering their evidence. Of the family of Bag- 

 shaw I have in my Genealogical Collections various 

 notices, as well in this country as In Derbyshire 

 and Staffordshire. John D' Alton.

White Livers (Vol. v., pp. 127. 212.).— DIssen 

 Interprets the XevKol <ppeves of Pindar (Part iv. 

 194.), pale with envy, envious ; alii aliter. 

 Whatever be the exact meaning of this debated 

 phrase, the idea at the ground of it appears the 

 same as that in the modern " white liver." Ac- 

 cording to Homer, it will be remembered, <ppeves 

 ^irap exovcriv. (Od. Ix. 301.) A. A. D. 



[Sigma refers our correspondent to Ryan's Medical 

 Jurisprudence, and Elliotson's Physiology, for a medical 

 explanation of the phrase — not quite suited to our 

 pages Ed.] 



Miniature of Cromwell (Vol. v., p. 189.). — 

 Miniatures of Oliver Cromwell do not appear to 

 be very rare. At least, in addition to those which 

 have been noted in your columns, I may state that 

 I picked up at Stockholm, a few years ago, a very 

 well-executed miniature of the Regicide, which 

 was In all probability brought to Sweden by his 

 ambassador Whitlock. The miniature is very
