He then goes on to offer proofs of his state- ment as to the date at which Badoario be- came Cardinal, and adds : "II Badoario fu il primo che decorasse il suo Ordine dell' onor della Porpora."

If Urban VI. made Badoario Cardinal Priest of the title of St. Cecilia, as stated by Moroni and others, it is certainly very odd, because according to Moroni himself, xxii. 109, Adam Easton was created by the same Pope Cardinal Priest of this title 18 Sept., 1378. (The ' D.N.B.,' xvi. 333, says Dec., 1381.)

Cristofori in his ' Storia dei Cardinali ' at

E. 68 makes Easton Cardinal of St. Cecilia ?om 1378 to 1385, and again from 18 Dec., 1389, to 20 Sept., 1397 (' D.N.B.,' loc. cit., gives the date of his death as 15 Sept. or 20 Oct., 1397, but he certainly died before 20 Oct.). Cristofori also, however, gives Baduaro as Cardinal of St. Cecilia from Sept., 1384 or 1378, to 29 July, 1389, and Giovanni Stefaneschi as holding this dignity in 1389 ; while at pp. 311-12 he represents Baduaro as becoming Cardinal Priest of the title of St. Cecilia 30 Sept. (?), 1378, and Stefaneschi as being appointed Dec. (?), 1381.

As no^ed above, Cristofori gives the date of Baduaro's murder as 29 July, 1389. According to Guerin, * Les Petits Bolland- istes,' v. 544, it was 10 June. 1388.

It would be interesting to have some of these difficulties cleared up.

"AS THICK AS INKLE-MAKERS "4 (10 S. X.

186). The earliest quotation for " inkle " which occurs in the ' N.E.D.' is from the Yatton churchwardens' accounts of 1541. It is, however, mentioned at an earlier date in those of Louth (Lincolnshire) :

1532. "To wait fyswyck for yncle to reusy[n]g gyrdell[es]."

"CARDINAL" OF ST. PAUL'S (10 S. x. 85, 173). Another celebrated holder of this dignity was the late Rev. W. Sparrow Simpson, D.D., F.S.A., who was in the habit of signing himself "Minor Canon, Librarian, Succentor, and Junior Cardinal of St. Paul's," and I am told by a friend who saw , great deal of Dr. Sparrow Simpson that he always appeared to be very proud of this unique title. In one of his books, ' Chapters in the* History of Old St. Paul's,' chap. ii. p. 35, ' On the Personal Staff of the Cathe- dral in 1450,' there is an allusion to the

I Minor Canons. He says that they were " incorporated as a College by Richard II.

' in 1394, and they still possess the royal charter granted to them by the King." He further states that ,.

" one of their own number was appointed by them- selves as Gustos or Warden; two were called Cardinals, Cardinales Chori, an office not found in any other church in England ; another was called the pitantiary, and it was his duty to collect and distribute the pittances and other payments due to the body. Their dress consisted of a white surplice, black copes with cowls, and almuces of black fur."

It may be added that the Rev. Dr. Sparrow Simpson was afterwards elected Sub-Dean. Is R. B. quite sure of his ground in the statement he makes in his reply ? So far as I remember, the engraved title of the earlier editions was much more typical of the legend of ' The Jackdaw of Rheims ' and of the " Cardinal Lord Archbishop " of that city than of the author and his office at St. Paul's. There were the high- backed chair, the jackdaw, and the ring, as well as the Cardinal's hat. I have been looking out for a chance of refreshing my memory, and have had a glance at five different editions, but none had the engraved title which was such a well-known feature of years ago. W. E.

RANGER OF GREENWICH PARK (10 S. x. 189). A list of the Rangers will be found in pp. 8, 9, of Mr. A. D. Webster's * Greenwich Park : its History and Associations,' 1902. The last was Lord Wolseley, appointed in 1888. The first to occupy the present house (now used as a place of public entertainment, the garden also being public, and forming part of Greenwich Park) was the Princess Sophia in 1816. She was succeeded by Lord Haddo (afterwards Earl of Aberdeen) in 1844, and he by Lord Wolseley in 1888.

ST. IA (10 S. ix. 448). The following notes are condensed from ' A Catalogue of Saints connected with Cornwall,' by the Rev. S. Baring-Gould, in the Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, vol. xiv. p. 265.

St. la was one of the Irish settlers in Penwith. Leland says she was a nobleman's daughter, and a disciple of St. Barricius, i.e. Finbar ; that she came to Cornwall with St. Elwyn ; and that a great lord in " Corne- waul " made a church at Pendinas at her request. She was the sister of St. Euny and of St. Ere (William of Worcester). la or Hia was one of the earliest settlers in West Cornwall ; and when Fingar and his party
