"Manting;" "Brungerly" shnuM be Bungerley. 

 One of the Talbnts, of BasliiiU Hall, coulil never 

 be " High Sheriff for the West Riding," as the 

 Ridings of Yorkshire never had distinct sheriffs; 

 neither was he sheriff of the county. Tlie par- 

 ticulars of the king's capture are thus rehited 

 in the chronicle called Warkwortli's Chronicle, 

 which has been printed by the Camden Society : — 



" Also, the same yere, kynge Henry was takene l>y- 

 syde a bowse of religione [i. e. Whalley] in Lancashyre, 

 by the meiie of a blacke monke of Abynsjtone [Abing- 

 don] in a woile calle.l Cletberu-ode [the wood of 

 Clitheroe], besyde Bungerly hyppyngstones, by Tho- 

 mas Talb:)tt, Sonne and lieyre to sere Edraunde Talbot 

 of Basshalle, and Jhon Talbott, his cosyne, of Coli'bry 

 [{. e. Salebury, in Blackburn], withe other moo ; which 

 discryvLde [him] beynge at his dynere at Wadyngton 

 halle : and [he was] carryed to London on horsebake, 

 and his leges bownde to the sty ropes." 



I have substituted the word " discry vide " for 

 " dissey vide," as it is printed in the Camden So- 

 ciety's book, where the editor, Mr. Halliwell, un- 

 derstood the passage as meaning that the king was 

 deceived or betrayed. I take the meaning to be 

 that the black monk of Abingdon had descried, or 

 discovered, the king; as he was eating his dinner at 

 Waddington Hall ; whereupon the Talbots, and 

 some other parties in the neighbourhood, formed 

 plans for his apprehension, and arrested him on 

 the first convenient opportunity, as he was crossing 

 the ford across the river Ribble, formed by the 

 hyppyngstones at Bungerley. Waddington be- 

 longed to Sir Jolin Tempest, of Braeewell, who 

 was the father-in-law of Thomas Talbot. Both 

 Sir John Tempest and Sir James Harrington of 

 Brierley, near Barnsley,were concerned in the king's 

 capture, and each received one hundred marks 

 reward ; but the fact of Sir Thomas Talbot being 

 the chief actor, is sliown by his having received 

 the larger reward of lOOZ. Further particulars 

 respecting these ami other parties concerned, will 

 be found in the notes to Warkworth's Chronicle. 

 The chief residence of the unhappy monarch during 

 his retreat was at Bolton Hail, where his boots, 

 his gloves, and a spoon, are still preserved, and are 

 engraved in Wiiitaker's Craven. An interior view 

 of the ancient hall at Bolton, which is still re- 

 maining, is engraved in the Gentleman s Magazine 

 for May, 1841. Sir Ralph Pudsay, of Bolton, had 

 married Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Tun- 

 8tal, who attended the king as esquire of the body.

JOHN JOKTN, OR JO.'VCHIM, THE FRENCH AMBAS- 

 SADOR. 



I am very desirous to be informed in what 

 French author I can find any account of John 

 Jokyn (Joachim?), who was ambassador to Eng- 

 land from France during the time of Cardinal 

 Wolsey. I have looked into the greater part of 

 the French authors who have written historically 

 on the reign of Francois I. without having found 

 any mention of such personage — L'Art de verifier 

 les Dales, &n., without success. He is frequently 

 spoken of by English writers, and particularly in 

 the Union of the Famelies of Luncastre and Yorke, 

 by Edward Halle, 1548, folios 135, 136. 139. 144. 

 and 149. ; at folio 144., 17th year of Hen. VIH., 

 it is stated : — 



" There came over as ambassador from France, Jhon 

 Jokyn, now called M. de Vaux, which, as you have 

 heard in the last year, was kept secret in Master Lark's 

 house ; and when he came into England he was wel- 

 comed of the Cardinal (Wolsey), and there between 

 them were such communications at the suit of the said 

 Jlion, that a truce was concluded from tlie KSth of 

 July for forty days between England and France, both 

 on the sea, anil beyond the sea," &c. &c. 



This M. Jokyn, or Joachim, appears to have 

 been a person of considerable influence, and it 

 appears his purpose on this mission was to bribe 

 Wolsey ; and it seems that the Chancellor Duprat 

 was aware of this, and was much displeased on the 

 occasion. Amicus.

scriptures, roman catholic translations of, 

 Luther's early familiarity with. 



The replies I have gained to previous Queries 

 encourage me to trouble you with the following: — 



1. Has the Roman Catholic Church ever pub- 

 lished a translation of the Scriptures, or any part 

 of them, into the vernacular Irish f Have their 

 missionaries in China ever translated anything 

 beyond the Epistles and Gospels of the Missal ? 

 Or, is there any Roman Catholic translation into 

 any of the vernacular languages of India? Or, 

 are there any vei'sions in any of the American 

 <lialects by Roman Catholic authors, besides those 

 mentioned by Le Long in his Bihliotheca Sacra. 

 And is there any continuation of his work up to
