and landing in England, Jan. 13, 18.35— after an 

 absence from that country of eighteen years since 

 Lis last visit — when he found that his destination 

 was Madras, instead of Bombay, as first proposed. 

 He was created LL.D. of Cambridge, by royal 

 mandate, June II, 1835, and consecrated on 

 Trinity Sunday following, in the private chapel 

 of Lambeth Palace ; he sailed from England on 

 the 19th of the same month, June; landed at 

 Madras, October 24 following, and was installed 

 in St. George's Cathedral, as first Bishop of 

 Madras and Ceylon, on the 28th of that month. 

 Bishop Corrie died at his episcopal residence, in 

 Madras, Feb. 5, 1837, in the 60th year of his 

 age, thirty-fifth of his ministry, and second of his 

 episcopate. On the evening of the day of his de- 

 cease, his remains were interred in the Cathedral 

 burying-ground, where a monument has since 

 been erected to Lis memory, executed by Mr. 

 Henry Weekes. 



Though this biographical notice has assumed 

 rather too extended proportions, it should be men- 

 tioned, in conclusion, that Bishop Corrie married 

 at Calcutta in Nov. 1812, Elizabeth, only child of 

 Mr. William Myers, house-builder and architect 

 of Calcutta, by which lady, who died at Madras 

 Dec. 21, 1836, he left only one surviving daughter, 

 Anna, who is married to Captain George James 

 Walker, formerly of the 13th Regiment of Dra- 

 goons, and has issue. Mrs. Corrie's mother mar- 

 ried, secondly, John Ellerton, Esq., Indigo manu- 

 facturer, of Maldah, in Bengal, and after long 

 surviving her second husband, died at the ad- 

 vanced age of eighty-six, on the 20th of last 

 January, in the Bishop's Palace, Calcutta. This 

 venerable lady — Hannah, Mrs. Ellerton — whose 

 high character and extensive charities had gained 

 for her universal respect and esteem, during the 

 very long period of her residence in Calcutta, 

 was considered to have been the " oldest in- 

 habitant " — European — of Bengal, if not of 

 British India; as she had been resident in this 

 country since the viceroy alty of Warren Hast- 

 ings, having landed in Calcutta, at the age of six 

 years, in 1778. She had resided in Bishop's 

 Palace for many years, and it is probable that the 

 shock which she had so recently experienced 

 through the death of her old and attached friend 

 Bishop Wilson (on the 2d of January, in his 

 eightieth year), hastened the event, which could, 

 however, hardly be called premature, though 

 until the month of her death she had enjoyed 

 almost unvarying good health. Mrs. Ellerton 

 always said that her own and Bishop Wilson's 

 death would occur almost together, and her pre- 

 sentiment proved correct, as she only survived 

 him eighteen days. 



I shall end this Note, as it must be called, I 

 suppose, by a Query. What were Bishop Corrie's 

 family urms'i' 1 have been unable to distiover 

 them. A. S. A. 



Pilgrims' Tokens (2"^ S. vi. 32.) —D. S. will 

 find some admirable articles on this subject in 

 Roach Smith's Collectanea Antigua (vol. i. p. 81, 

 and vol. ii. p. 43.) ; and another by the same 

 author in the Archceological Association Journal 

 (vol. i. p. 200.) Engravings of several tokens 

 will be found in other volumes of the Journal, and 

 some notes upon them in the Archceological Insti' 

 tide Journal (vol. vii. p. 400.). An article by Mr. 

 Haigh, in The Numismatic Chronicle (vol. vi. 

 p. 82.), may also be consulted. I am not aware 

 of any books having been written on this subject.

Rastell Famihj (2°'^ S. iii.208.)— If your corre- 

 spondent G., who made some inquiries respecting 

 the family of Rastell, would send his address to 

 J. R., Post Office, Cambridge, he would meet with 

 some information on the subject. The subject being 

 connected with a private family, is of no interest 

 to any one except the writer of the Query. 



Geraldine of Desmond (2"* S. vi. 108.)— A 

 friend of mine possesses a MS. account of this 

 branch of the family, written I should say about 

 the commencement of the last century. It con- 

 tains a very full history of the family, and is re- 

 plete with genealogical information. Some years 

 ago (as the owner informed me) it was borrowed 

 by Sir William Betham, who had a copy made 

 which he highly prized. I had the MS. for some 

 time in my own possession, and made a copy of 

 that part relating to the W^hite Knight, which is 

 now amongst my collection. Should Mr. Ward 

 consider my copy worth his perusal, I shall feel 

 the greatest pleasure in forwarding it to him. I 

 beg to enclose my address. K. C.

Paintings of Christ hearing the Cross (2"'' S. v. 

 378. 424. 505. ; vi. 57.) — I am surprised at not 

 having seen mentioned among the paintings of 

 this subject enumerated by your correspondents, 

 the remarkable tempera picture attributed by its 

 owner, Mr. Brett, to Raphael, but considered by 

 Mr. Scharf, and I believe with good reason, to be 

 more prabably the work of Cima da Conegliano. 

 The colouring was, like tempera pictures gene- 

 rally when they J)ave lost their original varnish, 

 very light in tone, but at the same time exqui- 

 sitely pure, and the expression was most touching. 

 Dr. Waagen, in his note upon the picture when 

 exhibited, though he placed it under the name of 

 Cima da Conegliano, says, "I do not venture to 

 give a name to this picture, but it is a work of 

 noble and fine sentiment." Thomas J. Gullick. 



f^ir John Temple (S""" S. v. 274.) — Sir John 

 Temple, Knt., Master of the Rolls in Ireland, 

 1G40— 1644, was born in 1600, and died in 1677.
