lated 1588, Fellow 1590, M.A. 1595, B.Mde. 1601 (Foster, ' Alum. Oxon.'). Wood ('Ath. Oxon.,' i. 678) tells us that he practised as a physician at Salisbury. He published " A Tracte containing the Artes of curious Paintinge, Carvinge, & Buildinge, written first in Italian by Jo: Paul Lomatius [Lo- mazzo], painter of Milan, and Englished by R. H., Student in Physick " (Oxford, fol., 1598). This work has a curious emblematic title-page, which we gather from the intro- duction was engraved, together with the illustrations in the text, by Haydock himself. He alludes to the " 7 yeares diligent and pain- full practise " that he has spent in " draw- ing of lines and lineaments, portraictures and proportions " ; and apologizes for the " Types and Pictures " that he has added to the translation as the work of the " un- experienced hand of a student." We may safely assume from the resemblance in tech- nique between this title-page and the Tinge- wick brass that both are engraved, as well as designed, by Haydock.

In the parish church of Bletchley, Bucks, is a brass to Thomas Sparke, D.D., rector, who died in 1616, covered with " conceits " exactly like those on Williams' s brass, which is obviously the work of the same engraver. The brass of Thomas Hopper, Fellow of New College and physician, ob. 1623, in New College Chapel, was designed (and doubtless engraved) by " R. H. ejusdem facultatis et Collegii Socius." Another brass formerly in the cloisters of New College to John Halswell, Fellow of the College, ob. 1618, put up by " R. H. consanguineus " may also have been Hay dock's work. The very similar brass at Queen's College, Oxford, to Provost Henry Airay, ob. 1616, bears in one corner the initials " R. H.," and may also on technical grounds be attributed to the same engraver. At Queen's College is another brass, precisely similar in execu- tion, to Henry Robinson, Bishop of Carlisle, ob. 1616, which bears the initials "A. H." ; and I suggest that this may be the work of Anthony Haydock, brother of Richard, B.A. Magdalen Hall, Oxford, 1587 ; M.A. 1590 (Foster, ' Alum. Oxon.'). Mr. Haines's theory ('Man. of Monumental Brasses,' p. xxx) that the initials R. H. are those of the engraver Remigius Hogenbergh is dis- posed of by the fact that Hogenbergh died c. 1580 (' Diet. Nat. Biog.').

Though Foster describes Haydock as " plebeian," yet the title-page of Haydock's translation of Lomazzo bears a portrait of Haydock surmounted by his arms, Argent, a cross sable, in dexter quarter a fleur-de-lis

of the second. These arms were borne by the Lancashire Haydocks, a good county family, and are assigned to Haydock of Greywell, Hants, in the Visitation of 1612 (Burke, Haydock are described as sons of James of Greywell (Foster) it seems that they cannot have been " plebeians."

The Tingewick brass is lithographed in Lipscomb's ' Bucks,' iii. 124, and has been reproduced in the Portfolio of the Oxford University Brass-Rubbing Society, pt. iii., Dec., 1890 ; and those at Queen's College in the same Portfolio, pt. i., Feb., 1898. I may perhaps refer to my own paper on these brasses in the Journal of the above Society, vol. i. pp. 72-7, 121 ; for the New College brasses, ibid., i. 63, 65.

THE NATIONAL FLAG (10 S. ix. 502 ; x. 72, 130, 193). In looking through the corre- spondence in ' N. & Q.,' extending over several years, and only recently satisfactorily terminated, thanks mainly to the action of MB. JOHN C. FRANCIS, I notice that the pro- ceedings in the House of Lords on the 14th of July last, and reported in The Times of the following day, have not found a place in ' N. & Q.' As the report will not take up much space, and will complete the record, it is sent in the hope that it may now be included.

"The Flying of the Union Jack. -Earl Howe asked his Majesty's Government, ' with a view to removing any possible doubt that may exist on the subject, whether it is a fact that the full Union Jack may be flown on land by every citizen in the Empire as well as on Government offices and public buildings.'

" The Earl of Crewe said many of them knew that there had existed in the public mind a curious notion as to what flag might be and what flag might not be flown. At one time it seemed to be believed that the Royal Standard could be flown anywhere and by anybody. That, however, was riot the case. The Royal Standard was the personal flag of the Sovereign, and could riot properly be flown without his Majesty's permission, which was only granted when either the King or Queen was present. That state of things did not apply to the Union Jack. The Union Jack should be regarded as the national flag, and it, undoubtedly, might be flown on land by all his Majesty's subjects.

" The Earl of Meath said he was much obliged to his Majesty's Government for clearing up this matter, on which there had been a little doubt. Some instances were known in this country where the Union Jack had been pulled down by the police."

It will be seen that the proceedings in the Upper House and the remarks of Lords Crewe
