I must here return my most sincere thanks to our Secretary Mr. Kite, for his 

 kind assistanco respecting the blocks of the Marlborough Pillory, and to the 

 members of the Committee of the Archaeological Institute, Mr. Albert Way, 

 Professor Wilson of Toronto, Messrs. Constable of Edinburgh, Mr. Jewitt, 

 F.S.A., Mr. Stanley and Mr. Noake of Worcester, for their kindness and 

 courtesy with respect to the other illustrations of this paper. 



[Whilst the foregoing Article was passing through the 

 press, its Author, Frederick Augustus Carrington, Esq., 

 F.A.S., of Ogbourne St. George in this County, was seized 

 with a serious illness which prevented his revising it. With 

 the deepest regret it must now be added, that his illness has 

 ended in Death. The Members of the Wiltshire Archaeological 

 Society and the readers of this Magazine, to which he so often 

 contributed able and amusing Papers, will have received the 

 intelligence of this event with universal regret. For his own 

 part the Editor can only say that he has been deprived of 

 one of his most cheerful and industrious coadjutors in the 

 labour of conducting this Publication. Mr. Carrington was 

 for many years a leading Barrister on the Oxford Circuit, 

 Recorder of Wokingham, a Deputy Lieutenant for Berks, 

 and a Justice of Peace for Wilts].
