Rh Hume, in his History of England, Vol. IV, p. 377, informs us, that in one night, October 16, 1551, the duke of Somerset, the lord Grey, David and John Seymour, Hammond and Neudigate, two of the duke's servants, sir Ralph Vane, and sir Thomas Palmer, were arrested, and committed to custody. The duke of Somerset is well known to have been brought to the scaffold on Friday January 22, 1552. What became of this John Seymour (if the same person is meant, which seems very probable) does not appear.

This prisoner, it should seem, has been a priest of the Roman catholic communion. I can find no account of him.

An inscription in old French, "Reprove the wise man, and he will love thee." C. J. 1538. (In another place) "Lerne to feare God." C. J.

This prisoner has most probably been a priest of the Roman catholic communion.

No account of him.

I can find nothing concerning him.

An inscription in old Italian. Sperando mi godero, 1537. A cipher—probably made by some prisoner who had been concerned in Aske's rebellion in the North.
