NOTES AND QUERIES. 



481 



Catherine Grey, Edward L. Beaucharap, her 

 eldest son, was her representative during his life, 

 and after him William, his 2nd but eldest sur- 

 viving son, succeeded his grandfather, Edward E, 

 of Hertford, in 1621, and as 2nd D. of Somerset 

 carried on the line until 1660, when he was suc- 

 ceeded by his grandson, William 3rd D. of So- 

 merset, who died unmarried in 1671. He was 

 succeeded, not by his sister Elizabeth, the ances- 

 tress of the D. of Buckingham, who married 

 Thomas L. Bruce, afterwards 3rd E. of Elgin, 

 but by his uncle John, 4th D. of Somerset, who 

 died s. p. in 1675, and who must have been the 

 representative of the family during his life. After 

 his death the male line of the family was carried 

 on by Francis 5th D. of Somerset, eldest surviving 

 son of Charles 2nd L. Troubridge, son and heir 

 of Sir Francis Seymour, Kt., cr. L. Seymour of 

 Troubridge, 3rd son of Edward L. Beauchamp, 

 and grandson of Lady Catherine Grey. This 

 Francis, 5th D. of Somerset, must surely be re- 

 garded as the representative of the family ; and so 

 must his brother Charles, who succeeded him as 

 6th D., and his son and heir Algernon, the 7th and 

 last D. And then, on the death of George Visct. 

 Beauchamp, s. p., his only surviving child and 

 heir, the Lady Elizabeth Seymour, was 'married 

 to Sir Hugh Smithson, cr. D. of Northumberland, 

 in whose descendant, the present Duke, must, I 

 contend, be vested the representation of the family 

 rather than in the descendants of Lady Elgin. 

 With all possible deference, therefore, to J. R., I 

 must question the descent of the D. of Buckingham. 



P. R. 

 Edo Neuhaus, or Neuhusius (S""* S. x. 420.) 

 — He was born, Oct. 21, 1581, at Steinfurt, a 

 city in Westphalia, being the eldest son of Reine- 

 rus*and Sarah Neuhaus of that city. Having lost 

 both his parents about the age of nine, he was 

 adopted and educated by an uncle, Otho Casman- 

 nus, rector of the Gymnasium at Stada. In 1607, 

 he was appointed to the rectorship of the Gym- 

 nasium at Lieuwarden, and in 1613 was chosen 

 presbyter of the Protestant church in that place. 

 He died March 7, 1638. His writings are : —

MS. OF Archbishop Ussher (2°* S. x. 410.) — 

 I do not know that I have anything to add to a 

 reply which I gave on this subject in 1" S. iv. 

 110. Dr. N. Bernard, the Archbishop's chaplain, 

 is there quoted as stating that " indeed, he was 

 displeased at the publishing of it, without his 

 knowledge, but liearing'of some good fruit which 

 hath been reaped by it, he hath permitted it." 



This permission, I think, may be fairly construed 

 into at least an implied imprimatur. 



May I venture to inquire anew after the con- 

 cluding volumes of Ussher's Works, announced 

 nine long years ago as undertaken by Dr. Todd ? 

 It is possible that they may have slipped into ex- 

 istence without my being aware of it ; but my 

 unhappy shelves still sigh for vol. xiv. and vol. 

 xvii. C. W. Bingham. 



John Aylmer, Bishop of London (2"^ S. x. 

 287) — There is a farmhouse, called Aylmer's 

 Hall, at Tivet^hall St. Margaret, in Norfolk, 

 which was anciently the residence of a family 

 named Aylmer. In Blomefield's Norfolk (vol. i. 

 p. 139.), it is stated that, "on a gravestone (in 

 the church of Tlvetshall St. Mary, the adjoining 

 parish), were Aylmer's arms, viz. Ar. on a cross 

 mgrailed sab. 5 bezants between 4 magpies, pro- 

 per ; it lies in the chancel, but the effigies, arms, 

 and inscription are gone." And in the descrip- 

 tion of the parochial chapel of St. Margaret's 

 parish it is said : " On the screens are Aylmer's 

 arms in proper colours." Was this the birth- 

 place of John Aylmer, Bishop of London ?

The Jacobite's Curse : " Who is M'Kart- 

 NEY ?" (2"<' S. iv. 167.)— "Let them wander thro' 

 the earth like Cain and M'^Kartney." I think the 

 following extract from a contemporary newspaper, 

 concerning the fatal duel between Charles Lord 

 Mohun and the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, 

 will suffice to satisfy your readers as to " Who is 

 M<=Kartney ? 



" Whereas it has been industriously reported that Mr. 

 Macartney has made his escape, and is now in Holland, 

 This is to inforij^ the Publick that the said report is false, 

 and that whenever he is either taken or has made his 

 escape. Notice shall be given in the Gazette, this Paper, 

 and all other Prints ; and, for the more easy apprehending 

 him, the following description is given. 



" He is a well set, middle-siz'd Man, of a dark, ruddy 

 Complexion, dark Eyes, dark Ej'ebrows, has a wide 

 Mouth, and good Teeth ; generally wearing a black Pe- 

 ruke, but, of late, has appeared in Woman's Cloaths and 

 other Disguises. 



"Whereas by Inquisition taken the 17th da5' of No- 

 vember last, upon the View of the dead Body of James, 

 Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, it was found that George 

 Macartney, Esquire, was aiding and assisting the Lord 

 Mohun to commit the Murder on the said Duke, and that 

 the said Macartney is fled for the same. And whereas it 

 hath since appeared, upon Oath, that the Wound whereof 

 the said Duke died was given him by the said Macart-
