TROVOST MARSUAL OF MUNSTER. 



The following abstract of the will of Nicholas 

 Pett, Provost ]\Iarshal of Munster in the reign of 

 Queen Eliz., containing an account of the personal 

 and real property of this functionary, together 

 with the particulars of his official costume and 

 armour, may be of interest to some of the readers 

 of " N. & Q." The will was executed Aug. 26, 

 1572, and proved Sept. 4, same year. A con- 

 temporary copy is preserved in the Dioc. Reg. 

 Cork.

REMAINS OF JAMES II. 



Even in points of minor importance, it is de- 

 sirable that youi' historical notes (especially when 

 republished, as in your valuable Choice Notes), 

 should be strictly accurate : I therefore write to 

 call your attention to a seeming inaccuracy in 

 a note at p. 124. of that selection, in which an 

 account is given of James II.'s monument at S. 

 Germain. 



A reference to Rivington's Annual Register for 

 1824 (p. 202.*), will show that the inscription 

 commencing " D. O. M. Jussu Georgii IV.," was 

 engraved on a tablet in front of a so-called altar 

 in which the remains of the king ("unexpectedly 

 discovered," according to the same authority,) 

 were temporarily deposited until the completion 

 of the church, which was then in course of restor- 

 ation. The words, "Depouilles mortelles de 

 Jacques II. Roi d'Angleterre," as given in Choice 

 Notes, are evidently not correct ; the inscrip- 

 tion, as given in the Register, being : — 



" Ces Despouilles Royales 



Sont ici depos(?es 



En attendant 



Qu'elles soient plac(?es 



Dans un 



Monument plus 



. Convenable, quand la 



Nouvelle Eglise 



Sera coustructee." 



I should add, that this temporary " altar-tomb" 

 is said to have been placed, not in the uncom- 

 pleted church, but in some building of a tem- 

 porary nature used as a chapel while the church 

 itself was rebuilding. J. H. B. 



ORDER OF ST. STANISLAUS : SIR WILLIAM NEVILLE 

 H.IRT. 



I send you a copy of a document in my posses- 

 sion, the diploma for a knight of the Order of St. 

 Stanislaus, given by St.anislaus Augustus, the last 

 king of Poland, to William Neville Hart. If you 

 consider it of sufficient interest, you are most 

 welcome to publish it in your Notes. The ori- 

 ginal bears the sign manual of the king.
