The following inscription formerly on a gravestone on south side of the 

 Bishop's cloister, probably refers to the issuer of No. 28, " Here lyeth the body 

 of John Rodd, Gent, of the Parish of Marden, who departed this life July 15, 

 Anno Dom 1699. (Etatis suce 68." — Eaidinson's Hist, and Ant. of the City of 

 Hereford. 



I have recently met with the following quaint advertisement in the London 

 Gazette of 20th September, 1686, in which the name of one of these issuers is 

 mentioned: — "Lost or Stolen near Marden in the county of Hereford, a bright 

 bay mare 4 years old, with a white fleck on his forehead, black Mane, her Tail 

 dockt, some white specks on the saddle-place, about 13 hands highe. Who- 

 ever gives Notice of the said Mare unto Mr. John Whiteing, at the Crown in 

 Lawrence-lane, London, or to Mr. Hugh Rodd, Mercer in Hereford, shall have 

 40s. Reward."
