The Keate Famili/, of the Hoo, Herts (Vol. viii., 



E.293.). — The following account is taken from 

 urke's Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of Eng- 

 land, Lond. 1841 : 



" William Keate of Hagbourne, in Berkshire, loft 

 five sons. The second son, Ralph Keate of Whaddon, 

 in Wiltshire, married Anne, daughter of John Clarke, 

 Esq., of Ardington, in Berkshire, and had with other 

 issue Gilbert Keate, Esq., of London, who married, 

 first, John, daughter of Nicholas Turhervile, Esq., 

 of Crediton, in Devon, and, secondly, Elizabeth, 

 daughter of William Armstrong, Esq., of Remston, 

 Notts, and by her had another son, Jonathan Keate, 

 Esq., of the Hoo, in the county of Hertford, which 

 estate he acquired with his first wife, Susannah, 

 daughter of William, and sister and heir of Thomas 

 Hoo, of the Hoo and Kimpton, both in Hertfordshire. 

 Mr. Keate was created a baronet by King Charles II., 

 12th June, 1660. Sir Jonathan was sheriff of the 

 county of Hertford, 17 Charles II., and knight of the 

 same shire in Parliament, in the thirtieth of the same 

 reign. By his first wife he had issue, Gilbert Hoo, 

 his heir, Jonathan, Susan, Elizabeth : all died sine 

 prole. He married, secondly, Susanna, daughter of 

 John Orlebar, citizen of London, but by her had no 

 issue. He died 17th September, 1700. The baronetcy 

 became extinct in the person of Sir William Keate, 

 D.D., who died 6th March, 1757."

 Hour-glasses (Vol. viii., p. 454.). — lu the 

 cburch of Wiggenhall, St. Mary the Virgin, the 

 iron frame of an hour-glass, affixed to a wooden 

 stand, immediately opposite the pulpit, still re- 

 mains. W. B. D. 



An iron hour-glass stand still remains near the 

 pulpit in the church of Ashby-Folville, in this 

 county (Leicester), It is fixed to the wall con- 

 taining the staircase to the rood-loft. 



In the old church of Anstey, recently pulled 

 down and rebuilt, was an ancient hour-glass 

 stand, _ consisting of a pillar of oak, about four 

 feet Jiigh, the top of which is surmounted by a 

 light framework of wood for the reception of the 

 hour-glass. This specimen is preserved in the 

 museum of this town. William Kelly. 



Marriage of Cousins (Vol. viii., p. 387.). — 

 If there is any foundation for such a statement as 

 is contained in the Query of J. P. relative to the 

 marriage of cousins, it consists rather in the 

 marriage of first cousins once removed than of 

 second cousins. It will be seen that the latter 

 relationship belongs to the same generation, but 

 it is not so with the former, which partakes more 

 of the nature of uncle and aunt with nephew and 

 "iece. W. Sloane Sloane-Evans. 



Cornworthy Vicarage, Totnes. 



There is no legal foundation for the statement 

 that marriage with a second cousin is valid, and 

 •with a first cousin invalid. The following quota- 



tion from Burn's Ecc. Law by Phill., vol. ii. p. 449., 

 will probably be considered to explain the matter : 



" By the civil law first cousins are allowed to marry, 

 but by the canon law both first and second cousins (in 

 order to make dispensations more frequent and neces- 

 sary) are prohibited ; therefore, when it is vulgarly 

 said that first cousins may marry, but second cousins 

 cannot, probably this arose by confounding these two 

 laws, for first cousins may marry by the civil law, and 

 second cousins cannot bv the canon law."

Marriage Service (Vol. viii., p. 150.). — I have 

 been many years in holy orders, and have always 

 received the fee together with the ring on the 

 Prayer Book, as directed in the Rubric. The 

 ring I return to the bridegroom to place upon the 

 bride's finger ; the fee (or offering) I deposit in 

 the oflertory basin, held for that purpose by the 

 clerk, and on going to the chancel (the mai-riage 

 taking place in the body of the church) lay it on 

 the altar. Note. — In the parish in which I first 

 ministered, the marriages had always been com- 

 menced in the body of the church, as directed ; 

 in the second' parish in which I ministered, that 

 custom had only been broken by the present in- 

 cumbent a few years since. A Rectok. 



I have seen the Rubric carried out in this parti- 

 cular, in St. Mary's Church, Kidderminster.

Holy, Family of (Vol. viii., p. 243.). — In 

 answer to Mr. J. B. Whitbobne, I beg to stale 

 that the Rev. Sir Philip Hoby, Baronet, was in 

 the early part of the last century chancellor of 

 the archdiocese of Dublin. He was an intimate 

 friend of Archbishop Cobbe, and there is a picture 

 of him in canonicals at Newbridge, co. Dublin.
