A leaf of a most valuable and ancient 
manuscript, entitled the ““ Exon Domesday 
Book,” preserved among the records and 
charters of the Dean and Chapter of Exe- 
ter, was restored to its proper place, having 
been accidentally found at some distance in 
the county, after being missing, it is said, 
upwards of a century. About eight years 
since, the above MS. was printed in 500 
pages, folio, ina supplement to the Exche- 
quer Great Domesday Book; when the 
learned editor and antiquary, Henry Ellis, 
Esq., had occasion to regret, in his preface, 
the imperfection caused by the lost leaf. 
A yery extraordinary discoyery has been 
made by T, Northmore, Esq. during some

the staluymitic incrustation, buried in the 
moulds, several teeth of the hyena, wild 
boar, wolf, and various bones of other ani- 
mals not yet identified. 
It does not appear to be generally known, 
that by an act passed in the last Session of 
Parliament, a total alteration will take place 
on the Ist of May next, in the legal weights 
and measures of the kingdom; the object 
of the act is to establish an uniform system, 
to enforce which penalties are enacted 
against those who sell goods by any other 
standard.
