The Cotton Family (2° S. i, 250. 298.) —If 
Mr. Bepe is desirous of further perfecting the 
Cotton pedigree, the following inscription from a 
slab within the altar-rails of this church may be 
acceptable to him : 
“ The lamented remains of Mary y® loving and beloved 
wife of Jonathan Symonds, Esq'., daughter of William 
Cotton, of Cotton in y® county of Chester, Esq™., fourth 
son of St Thomas Cotton, of Great Cunington, in Hunt- 
ingtonshire, Baronet. /Z. 8. 46., ob. 25t» of March, 1717.” 
Arms. Symonds, impaling azure an eagle dis- 
played arg. armed gu. 
This William Cotton appears to be the William 
of Cotton Holme, Cheshire, mentioned by L.B.L., 
p- 298., who married Mary, daughter of Robert 
Pulleyn, rector of Thurleston, Leicestershire. 
The family of Symonds, of Norfolk, dates from 
a very early period. They were first seated at 
Suffield, afterwards at Yarmouth, where a series 
of their monuments and hatchments extends over 
a period of nearly two centuries, and latterly at 
Ormesby, from whence their last descendants re- 
moved to London a few years since.

I feel much indebted to the courtesy of Lorp 
Monson and other correspondents for having so 
fully answered my Queries relative to the Cotton 
family. My chief mistake has arisen from a slight 
error that had crept into my notes, through which 
I was led to attribute the likeness by Cornelius 
Jansen to the daughter instead of to the mother. 
The portrait is not that of Margaret Howard, the 
wife of Sir John Cotton, but of Elizabeth Dacre, 
the wife of Lord William Howard. She died 
Oct. 20, 1639; and, as there is a portrait of her 
at Naworth, inscribed “ 1578, ztatis 14,” the Jan- 
sen portrait must have been painted but a short 
time previous to her death. I am sorry that my 
error should have given needless trouble to oblig- 
ing correspondents. Mr. Epw. Hawkins states, 
that Margaret Howard was the eldest daughter of 
Lord William ; but in the pedigree of the Barons 
of Morpeth, given in Hodgson’s Northumberland 
(part ii. vol. il. p. 381.), she is placed as the third 
daughter. 
I will, with the editor's permission, return to 
this subject on some other occasion.

“In Necessariis Unitas,” §c. (1* S. viii. 281. ; 
2-4 §, i, 414.) —I am unable to refer N. E. to 
“chapter and verse” for this quotation, as my

stated in what part of Melancthon’s Works it is

Keeping the Lords Hounds (2" §., i. 315. 381.) 
— In reference to this subject, I have in my pos- 
session a lease dated March 24, 1791, for three 
lives, of a cottage at Bampton in Oxfordshire, in 
which, after the usual covenants, occurs the fol- 
lowing : 
“ And lastly it is agreed that the said (tenant), his ex, 
ad. and ass., shall and will every second year of the term 
hereby demised (if thereto requested), keep, breed up, and 
maintain for the said (landlord), his heirs and assigns, 
one young beagle or hound, and the same shall and will 
as much as in him and them lyeth, preserve and keep 
from all manner of hurt.” " 
I have many other leases of other parts of the 
same property, but the above is the only one in 
which that particular stipulation appears. “od
