for one shilling; but the bibliomaniac must now 
pay from twenty to thirty shillings for a copy. 
The original, printed in 1688, does not contain the 
second part, which was published by Mr. Nichols 
for the first time. Copies are in the Bodleian, 
and in the University Library, Cambridge.

Marylebone Gardens (No. 24. p. 383.).—These 
gardens were finally closed in 1777-8. It is not 
generally known that, previous to the year 17387, 
this “ fashionable” place of amusement was entered 
gratis by all ranks of people; but the company 
becoming more “select,” Mr. Gough, the pro- 
prietor, determined to charge a shilling as entrance 
money, for which the party paying was to receive 
an equivalent in viands. Epwarp F. Rimsaucr. 
Mother of Thomas a Bechet (No. 26. p. 415.).— 
An inspection of some of the numerous legends 
touching the blessed martyr, St. Thomas of Can- 
terbury, would probably supply many interesting 
particulars concerning the story of his father’s 
romantic marriage. But the most important nar- 
rative is that of Herbert Bosham, Becket’s secre- 
tary, who, it will be remembered, was present at 
his martyrdom. Bosham’s Vita et Res Geste 
Thome Episcopi Cantuariensis is published in 
the Quadrilogus, Paris, 1495. Consult also the 
French translation of Peter Langtoft, and the 
English one by Laurence Wade, a Benedictine 
monk of Canterbury. Robert of Gloucester’s 
metrical Legend of the Life and Martyrdom of 
Thomas Beket, published by the Perey Society, 
under the editorial care of Mr. W. H. Black, fully 
confirms the “romance;” as also do the later 
historians, Hollingshed, Fox, and Baker.

Dr. Strode’s Poem (No. 10. p. 147.). — Dr. 
Strode’s poem, beginning — 
“ Return my joys, and hither bring —” 
which Dr. Rimbault does “ not remember to have 
seen in print,” is in Ellis’s Specimens, iii. 173. 
ed. 1811. He took it from Wit Restored, p. 66. 
ed. 1658, or i. 168. reprint. It is the second poem 
mentioned by Dr. Bliss, A. O. iii. 152., as oecur- 
ring with Strode’s name in MS. Rawl. 142.

“ All to-broke” (No. 25. p. 395.).— Surely the 
explanation of Judges, ix. 53. is incorrect. Ought 
not the words to be printed “and all-to brake his 
scull,” where “all-to” = “altogether” ? R. A.

Reports, ii. 719.; and Lounger’s Common Place 
Book, tit. Barnard, William. The greater part of 
this latter article is in Leigh Hunt’s One Hundred 
Romances of Real Life, No.1.

brated Trials connected with the Aristocracy, London,

Lord Carrington or Karinthon (No. 27. p. 440.). 
— The nobleman about whom “C.” inquires, was 
Sir Charles Smith, created an English baron 19 
Charles I., by the title of Lord Carrington, and 
afterwards advanced to the dignity of an Irish 
Viscount under the same name. ‘These honours 
were conferred upon him for his services to the 
King in the time of his majesty’s great distresses. 
On the 20th Feb., 1655, whilst travelling in 
France, Lord Carrington was barbarously mur- 
dered by one of his servants for the sake of his 
money and jewels, and buried at Pontoise. (Bankes’ 
Dormant and Extinct Peerage, vol. iii. p.155.) The 
title became extinct.circiter 1705.

Lord Monson presents his compliments to the 
Editor of “ Norres anp Queriss,” and has the 
pleasure of answering a Query contained in this 
day’s Number, p. 440.; and takes the liberty of 
adding another. 
The English nobleman murdered at Pontoise 
was Charles Smith, Viscount Carrington of Bar- 
refen, Ireland, and Baron Carrington of Wotton 
Warem, co. Warwick; the date in the pedigrees 
of the murder is usually given 1666, probably 
March 1665-6. 
The last Lord Carrington died 17 May, 1706: 
the estates of Wotton came to Lewis Smith, who 
married Eliz., daughter of William Viscount Mon- 
son, and relict of Sir Philip Hungate. His son 
Francis Smith Carrington died in 1749, and left 
one daughter and heir. What relation was Lewis 
Smith to the Smiths Lord Carrington? No 
pedigree gives the connection. 
Dover, May 4. 1850. 
(J. M. W.” has kindly answered this Query; so 
also has “W. M. .,” who adds, “ Lord Carrington, 
previously Sir Charles Smith, brother to Sir John Smith, 
who fell on the King’s side at Alresford in 1644, being 
Commissary-General of the Horse. By the way, 
Bankes says it was his son John who fell at Alresford, 
but it is more likely to have been, as Clarendon states, 
his brother, unless he Jost there both a brother and a 
son.”
