30 JOURNAL OF AN EXCURSION TO EASTBURY AND 
M"^ Kaye. — Lot 61 of the Banks Sale, which contained 34 
Letters addressed to Banks, including 4 of Bichard Kaye, was 
purchased by Mr. S. Timmins, of Birmingham. I have been unable 
to ascertain what has become of them, but Mr. E. L. Scott, of the 
British Museum, informs me that this Bichard Kaye Avas Sir 
Richard Kaye, Bart., Dean of Lincoln, the well-known antiquary, 
and no doubt the Mr. Kaye mentioned by Banks. Sir Richard 
Kaye, was simjDly Mr. Kaye until the year 1789, when he succeeded 
his half brother in the baronetcy. 
^* Jackson*s Tower. — I am informed that the Sneyd Park 
Estate long belonged to the Jackson Family, and after Cook left 
the city the tower, called his Folly, would likely enough get the 
name of Jackson's from the owners. 
At pages 188-9 of A Picturesque Guide to Bath, Bristol Hoticell, 
etc., by Messrs. Ibbetson, Laporte and Hassell, London, 1793, 8vo, 
occurs the following passage : — 
" Cook's Folly is an octagon building, on the highest point of the 
wood above the meadows ; it is used only as a summer-house, and is 
the property of Miss Jackson, who has a house a few fields from it." 
Harrcliff. — I am informed that one of the cliffs at Cheddar is 
named High Cliff or Higher Cliff. Probably Higher Cliff was pro- 
nounced so as to sound like Harrcliff. 
Woman Confined in Box.—" The Bristol Journal, printed by 
S. Farley in Castle Green," of June 6th, 20th, and September 26th, 
1767, contains the following accounts of thi^ occurrence, which are 
reproduced in the Bath Journal of June 8th. 22nd, and September 
28th. 
June 6th : — 
" The latter end of last week the shop of Mrs. Pearce, a poor 
widow woman, in Merchant Street, was broken open and robb'd of 
a considerable quantity of stockings, to the value of near £10. It 
was discovered in the night by John Lankford, a watchman, who 
not alarming the neighbourhood, and leaving the house exposed 
the remaining part of the night, some suspicion arose that he was 
concerned in it. A search warrant therefore was granted to search 
his house, and the chief and other constables of Castle-Precincts 
executed it on Monday last, but could find no part of the goods. 
In the course of the search, in a back room, a young woman near 
19 years of age was discovered in a box 30 inches long and 18 
wide, quite naked, and almost starved to death. Her limbs are 
much contracted, as she has lain there for six or seven months, 
during which time she had bread sometimes once a day, but at
