SEBJBANT8 KINGS : MR. JUSTICE PRICE. 



I was in hopes this subject would have been 

 continued (vide 1" S. v. 563.), and that as correct 

 a list as could possibly be obtained from your nu- 

 merous correspondents would have appeared in 

 your valuable columns long ere this. As a small 

 confrihution towards so desirable an object, I beg 

 to hand you the following motto selected by Robert 

 Price, Esq , of Foxley, co. Hereford, for his pre- 

 sentation rings on being made serjeant-at-law in 

 1702 : 



" Regina et Lege gandet Britannia." 



As a note to the foregoing, the following par- 

 ticulars of this excellent judge may not prove un- 

 interesting. He was made attorney-general for 

 South Wales in 1682, and elected an alderman of 

 the city of Hereford. Sat in the remarkable par- 

 liament of the same year when the Act of Exclu- 



sion was brought in, against which he voted. In 

 1683, Recorder of Radnor. After the death of 

 Charles IE., in 1684, was steward to her majesty 

 Catherine, the queen-dowagei'. Elected town 

 clerk for the city of Gloucester in 1685. King's 

 counsel at Ludlow, under James II., in 1686. In 

 1695, he strenuously and successfully opposed the 

 exorbitant grant which the king, William III., 

 proposed to confer on his favourite, the Earl of 

 Portland. In 1702, was made one of the Barons 

 of the Exchequer ; in which Court he presided 

 nearly a quarter of a century. And on the death 

 of Mr. Justice Dormer in 1726, he succeeded him 

 in the Court of Common Pleas, where he presided 

 till his death, which took place at Kensington on 

 Feb. 2, 1732, in his seventy-ninth year. He was 

 buried at Yazor, in the county of Hereford. 



What relation was he to the present Sir Robert 

 Price, Bart., of Foxley in that county ?

PLAT BY ST. Paul's eots at Greenwich, 1527. 



In his recently-published History of England, 

 Mr. Froude makes an extract from an old MS., 

 which he introduces in a manner that would lead 

 to the belief that it had never before been pub- 

 lished. 



It had been used by Mr. Collier in the Annals 

 of the Stage, and connected by him with the same 

 passage from Hall. With those unacquainted with 

 the fact, Mr. Fronde's language might deprive 

 Mr. Collier of some of the praise that belongs 

 to him for the compilation of his extraordinary 

 book, which, while it is the evidence of his wonder- 

 ful industry, is also its best monument. 



His History of England bears unmistakeable 

 evidence of truthfulness, but unfriendly critics 

 might say that in this case Mr. Froude has shown 

 a want of candour. 



As I cannot think it such, I would place the 

 coincidence^n record in " N. & Q.," that a future 

 misunderstaWing may be avoided. 



At p. 62. vol. i., Mr. Froude says : 



"As I desire in this chapter not only to relate what 

 were the habits of the people, but to illustrate them also, 

 within such compass as I can allow myself, I shall tran- 

 scribe out of Hall a description of a play which was acted 

 by the boys of St. Paul's School in 1527, at Greenwich, 

 adding some particulars, not mentioned by Hall, from 

 another source.* . . . 



Here follows the passage from Hall, at the con- 

 clusion of which Mr. Froude continues : 



" So far Hall relates the scene, but there was more in 

 the play than he remembered, or cared to notice, and / 

 am able to complete this curious picture of a pageant once
