Whether the substatice Of the abo^e lines stctod 

 part of the worthy bishop's original French, or 

 these verses be some of that " mikel " which the 

 Yorkshire Cistercian monk " eked therto " of his 

 own, certain is it that, in this as well as in the other 

 above-cited passages out of our old writers, we 

 have proof that the Ten Comrtiandments were 

 then taught, not merely in epitome, but in full, 

 and that the CathorK; church, in olden as well as 

 in these our days, instead of allowing " her chil- 

 dren and other less instructed members to be often 

 ignorant of the existence in the decalogue of a 

 prohibition against idolatry," always taught, as she 

 yet untiringly teaches, all her people, and more 

 especially the " lewed," the unlearned among them, 

 to keep themselves from " ttiatbettrie," that is 

 idolatry, under every shape. D. Rock.

JUDITH CULPEPER. 



(2"'' S. ii. 130.) 



The Judith Culpeper mentioned by your corre- 

 spondent Vox was not of the HoUingbourne, but 

 of the Wakeherst (co. Sussex) branch of the 

 family. The enclosed extract from a pedigree 

 in my possessioti will show her position in the 

 family. Judith married, secondly, Christopher 

 Mason, Captain, R.N. Sir William, her son, was 

 buried at St. James's, Westminster, and at his 

 death the title became extinct. 



Sir Edward Culpeper of Wakeherst, Sussex, Knt. 

 Sir Wm. Culpeper, created Bart. 



Sir Benjamin Culpeper, 

 Bart., ob. 1671. 



John Culpeper. 



Sir Edward Culpeper, Bart. 



Benjamin Cul-=Judith, daughter of Wm. 

 peper, ob. Vita I Wilson of Eastbourne, co, 

 patris. Sussex, Esq. 



Benjamin, o. s. p. Sir VTm. Culpeper, Bart., 



who about 1694-95 alienated Wakeherst to 

 Dionysius Denys Lyddell, Esq., and died 

 28th Mar. 1740, s. p. 



There was another Judith Culpeper of an earlier 

 date. She was the daughter of Sir Thomas Cul- 

 peper of HoUingbourne, and became the second 

 wife of Sir John Culpeper in 1631. This Sir 

 John was created Baron Culpeper of Thoresway, 

 by letters patent dated Oct. 21, 1644, and died in 

 1660. 



Should your cbrfespcifident be willing to dis- 

 pose of Judith's letter, I should be glad to acquire 

 it, as I am anxious to collect all the relics I can 

 find relating to the Cutpepel" family. My mother 

 is the daughter of the late John Spencer Culpeper 

 of Tenterden, co. Kent, and of Woodford Hall, 

 CO. Essex, Esq. ; and should your correspondent 

 desire any farther information respecting this an- 

 cient, noble, and once wide-spreading family, I 

 shall be most happy to communicate with him. 



Whilst I am on the subject, may t ask whethei? 

 your correspondent, or any of your readers, can 

 give me a clue to the recovery of a number of 

 family papers (amongst tyhich was the patent of 

 peerage) deposited for safety many years since by 

 my grandfather, J. S. Culpeper, Esq., with a Mr. 

 Sarel, a solicitor, formerly of Arundel or Surrey 

 Street, Strand. I have a list of these papers, but 

 have sought for them in vain. 



William H. Morlet. 



15. Serie Street, Lincoln's Inn. 



The second wife of John Lord Colepeper, Chan- 

 cellor of the Exchequer and Master of the Rolls 

 to Charles I., who died in the month of July after 

 the Restoration, was Judith, daughter of Sir 

 Thomas Colepeper of Hollingbourn, Knt. One 

 of their daughters was also named Judith, who 

 married a relative of the same name. 



The writer of the letter communicated by Vox 

 is no dotibt one of these : and if the former, as is 

 most pt-obable from the date, the brother referred 

 to would be Sir William, the first baronet of 

 Preston Hall. If the latter, the brother would be 

 Thomas, the second Baron Colepeper.

« Harrisburgi Pennsylvania, Ap. 12th,- 1856* 



" Mr. Editor, 

 " In the last number of your serial, you inquire for 

 information in respect to Mr. Lillibridge; and, as it is in 

 my power to impart some little, I herewith communicate 

 it, in the shape of an original letter from the gentleman 

 himself. You are at liberty to make such use of it aSi 

 you may deem proper. The person to whom it was ad- 

 dressed was, at that time, a prominent and influential 

 member of this community, but died within the past year. 

 The letter referred to, aiid which I enclose, fell into my 

 hands hi the course of my professional duties as thd 

 attorney of Mr. Seller's estate.
