port of Davenport, in Cheshire, and was father of 

 Francis Moseley (now, says Wotton,) rector of 

 Kolleston." See also Burke's Ext. Barts., " Mos- 

 ley of Rolleston." The arms of Davenport, as 

 given in Burke's Armorij, difler slightly from 

 those given by C. J. — the chevron being plain — 

 and the other coats may have been brought in 

 with it by the above alliance. The arms of Mose- 

 ley as given also differ from those usually borne, 

 which are generally quartered with another coat : 

 " or, a fess between 3 eagles displayed sa."

Weston Family (2"* S. x. 266.) — From intel- 

 ligence courteously communicated to me by the 

 Rev. C. J. Robinson, I am enabled to answer one 

 of the inquiries made, viz. that the arms depicted 

 in with those of Weston, on the monument in 

 Stalbridge church, are those of Willoughby, or 

 Willowby, Thomas Weston, son of the Lord Chief 

 Justice, having mar. "Anne, daughter of ... . 

 Willowby of North Adverne (?), com. Wilts, 

 Esq.," as recorded in Heralds' Visitation of Doi-- 

 sety 1677. Although the tinctures of the second 

 quartering are revetted, and are depicted without 

 the bordure belonging to the Willoughby coat of 

 Wilts (see Willoughby, Bart., of Baldon House, 

 Oxfordshire, descended from a Wiltshire progeni- 

 tor), this may arise from the ignorance of the 

 artist, or perchance from the accidents of repair. 



1 have also ascertained that the later residence of 

 the Weston family was at a mansion named Hart- 

 grove, near Thornhill, now, I believe, pulled down 

 and rebuilt. Henhy W. S. Taylor. 



Sacheverell (2"^ S. X. 268.) — A passage not 

 unlike that given by Prof. De Morgan occurs 

 in one of the anonymous answers to Dr. Sacheve- 

 rell's sermon on "Perils among false brethren," 



2 Cor. xi. 26. The passage is — 



" Then in the beginning of such a discourse, to tack to- 

 gether the thirtieth of January and the fifth of Novem- 

 ber, and to make them run as it were in parallel lines, to 

 meet as it were in a centre, is somewhat that at least is 

 not to the purpose." 



I find nothing of the kind in the sermon itself, 

 ■which, with the answer, now lies before me.

Ancient Stained Glass from Cologne (2"^ 

 S. X. 266.) — The late Mr. Edward Spencer Cur- 

 ling was Consul of the Netherlands at Deal, and 

 an occasional correspondent of the Gentleman's 

 Magazine. The ancient glass from Cologne, of 

 which his description is inserted in p. 266., may 

 have been noticed in the Magazine, but I have 

 been unable to discover the place. I find, how- 

 ever, that it was several times advertised for sale 

 on the advertisement pages of the Magazine 

 during the space of two years, whilst it was re- 

 maining in the warehouses of Messrs. Nichols, 

 between 1835 and 1837. I believe that either 



before or after that period it was publicly ex- 

 hibited at the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly. Of 

 its final destination I am unable to satisfy Ithu- 

 riel, but the above particulars may possibly sug- 

 gest to other correspondents the information he 

 requires. J. G. N. 



Archbishop Cranmer and Church Lands 

 (2"* S. X, 210. 336.)— Some particulars relative to 

 the possessions of the monastic estates of Kirkslall 

 and Arthington by the Cranmer family are given 

 in the new edition of the Monasticon. Of Kirk- 

 stall it is said (vol. v. p. 529.) : — 



" The site was granted in exchange to Archbishop 

 Cranmer and his heirs, 34 Hen. VIII. and 1 Edw. VI. 

 In the 26th of Elizabeth we find it granted to Edmund 

 Downynge and Peter Asheton." 



And of Arthington, a nunnery, also in York- 

 shire : — 



" The site of this monastery was granted in the 34tli 

 Hen. VIII., A.d. 1543, to Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of ' 

 Canterbury, in exchange. Anotlier grant thereof, with 

 divers messuages, &c. in Arthington, was made to him in 

 the •2d of Edw. VI. And in the 4tU of Edw. VI. the 

 Icing granted the archbishop a licence to alienate the 

 same to Peter Hammond and others, as trustees for the 

 use of Thomas Cranmer, his younger son. In the Lord 

 Treasurer's office occurs this reference : — ' De Thoma 

 Cranmer exonerando de arreragiis redditus 12s. reservat. 

 regiae majestati in Uteris patentibus regis Edwardi VP'. 

 pro situ nuper monasterii de Arthington in comitatu Ebo- 

 raci. Mich. Rec. 17 Eliz. rot. Ixiii." 



Whether any Yorkshire historian gives the 

 further descent of Arthington in the Cranmer 

 family I am not aware. N. R. 



Washing the Lions in the Tower (2"^ S. x. 

 69.) —I read in a newspaper, five or six years ago, 

 that on the 1st of April several persons went to 

 the Tower with cards of admission, which pur^ 

 ported to be signed by the Warden, to see the 

 annual ceremony of washing the lions. They 

 bought the cards, at a penny each, at a ballad 

 shop in Seven Dials. 



Can any of your readers inform me whether the 

 story is true or not, or refer me to the paper in 

 which it appeared ? C. E. 



Authorised Version (2"^ S. x. 230. 297.) — 

 Your correspondent's Query opens an interesting 

 field of inquiry, but one more extensive than he 

 appears to contemplate. Taking the present au- 

 thorised version as it lies before us, it would be 

 very desirable to ascertain what is the text of the 

 original Hebrew and Greek that is there repre- 

 sented. As Mr. Buckton observes, those who 

 were engaged in the work had no great command 

 of MSS. They had principally to do with printed 

 editions. This, to a certain extent, limits the 

 inquiry. It must, however, be borne in mind 

 that there are the labours of preceding translators 

 to be taken into the account. The present ver- 

 sion purports, in the title-page, to be " translated,"
