will be 528/., so that he must Lave been a man of 

 substance then. Another Henry Gille pays to 

 King John 6 shill. in 1203. Godfrey, son of 

 Robert Gille, was living in Lincoln 1278, and 

 from him or his issue is derived those of that 

 name to be found in the Rolls of the Hundred in 

 1278 in Cambridge. There is a detached pedigree 

 of this family down to one John Gille or Gylle of 

 Buckland, Hertp, 1499, for whose descendants see 

 Lipscomb's Bucks, vol. iv., and Clutterbuck's 

 Herts, &c. 



To revert to the gentleman immediately in 

 question, Thos. Gyll of Barton, North Riding, 

 York, he resided at Durham as a lawyer and 

 counsellor for thirty years. He was devoted to 

 the fine arts and antiquities. He died unmarried 

 12 JMarch, 1780, ast. eighty at Barton. See Ni- 

 chols's Literai-y Anecdotes, vol. viii. p. 288. 



He had a sister, married to Mr. Hartley, who 

 had a son, Leonard Hartley, living 1780. 



There are various disjointed pedigrees of the 

 Gilles of Yorkshire, but the correspondent being 

 descended from the Wydial and Buckland branch 

 of Herts, has only detailed descents of his own 

 and collateral lines. G. G. 



The following account of this gentleman is 

 taken from Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, vol. viii. 

 288. : — 



" He had been resident at Durham as Counsel for thirty 

 years, and executed the several trusts reposed in liim 

 with distinguished integritj'. He was an able Counsellor, 

 though not eminent as an Orator : his stout adherence to 

 justice would not suffer him to yield to those embellish- 

 ments of the Bar which exceed the bounds of truth, so 

 that be was less esteemed as an advocate than as a pri- 

 vate adviser. He had a good taste in the Fine Arts ; and 

 in his more j'outliful days paid much attention to the 

 study of Antiquities, holding a literary correspondence 

 with some of the first geniuses of the age. His person 

 was tall, erect, and graceful; his features regular and 

 handsome, and a pleasantry and affability sat on his 

 countenance, which spoke the benevolence of his heart. 

 He died a bachelor, March 12, 1780, aat. 80 ; and was 

 buried at Barton, in the North Riding of the County of 

 York, with the following epitaph: — 



" Near this Wall is interred Thomas Gyll, Esq., equally 

 esteemed for his knowledge of the Common and Canon 

 Law, and for his integrity in the practice of both. At 

 the Bar an Advocate in the former, on the Bench a Judge 

 in the latter. Nor was he less distinguished for his accu- 

 racy in the Histor}' and Antiquities of his Country. By 

 a steady discharge of the duties of his station both in 

 public and private life, and by a constant and devout at- 

 tendance of the public worship, he was an example 

 worthy of imitation. He died in his 80th year, 1780. 

 To the memory of his truly valuable character Leonard 

 Hartley, his nephew and heir, placed this tablet."

 native parish ; and on the 2nd March, 1660-1,
