James Shepherd, the youth who was executed in 1718 for high 
treason, in having offered in a letter to Mr. Heath, the non-juring 
clergyman, to assassinate George the First, always professed to 
have imbibed his Jacobite sentiments at the school in Salisbury 
where Dr. Hinchcliff had placed him. It appears to have been a 
school celebrated as the favourite asylum for the youths of such 
parents as favoured the Pretender. Is any thing further known 
of this school, of its masters, or of its alumni ? J.W. 
Cuartron Parxk.—The following instance of presence of mind 
occurred in 1773, when Lord Suffolk was adding the east front to 
the old house. As Mr. Darley, the surveyor of the works was ex- 
amining the roof, he lost his footing, and fell off. In the progress 
of his descent, he caught hold of the corner of a window, sixteen 
feet below the point from which he fell. The shock dislocated his 
shoulder, but he kept his hold and worked himself in at the window. 
When the men came to his assistance, they found that he had 
also broken his leg at the ancle, in such a manner, that the great 
bone protruded through the skin. Mr. Dewell, the surgeon of 
Malmesbury immediately attended him. J.W.
