An alphabetical catalogue of some prin- cipal families in Naples will be found at p. 624 of the second edition of ' Royal Genealogies ; or, The Genealogical Tables of Emperors, Kings, and Princes from Adam .to these Times,' by James Anderson, D.D., London, 1738. The catalogue has references to tables in the same work giving pedigrees of some of the families.

Genealogical accounts and pedigrees of some Neapolitan families will also be found in ' Genealogiae in Italia,' by Jacob William Imhoff, Amsterdam, 1710.

TOLSEY AT GLOUCESTER (10 S. x. 469). In the Transactions of the Bristol and Glouces- tershire Archaeological Society, vol. xix. pp. 142-58, will be found an excellent saccount of the Gloucester Tolsey by Mr. M. H. Medland, illustrated by photographs a.nd drawings. An account of the remains of All Saints' Church is also given, with olrawings. The Gloucester Journal of 13 Aug. .nd 15 Oct., 1892, gives an interesting ^account of the Tolsey. ROLAND AUSTIN.

Public Library, Gloucester.

In Lewis's ' Topographical Dictionary ' it is stated that the Tolsey stands " on the site of a church dedicated to All Saints," at the angle formed by Westgate and South- gate Streets, and that it was erected for the transaction of the municipal affairs of the city in pursuance of an Act of Parliament passed in 23 George II.

Dr. James Dugdale in his ' British Tra- veller ' says that " Tholsey is an appellation supposed to have been derived from the toll which was received in it, by the lords of the manor, from the fairs and market." The building had at that time (i.e., the beginning of last century) been altered " since its erection, about the latter end of the reign of George II."

BILLY BUTLER THE HUNTING PARSON <10 S. x. 310, 395, 453). As this worthy's ancestry appears to be unknown I give a few facts.

A certain Capt. Tho. Butler of the Island of Nevis, planter, in his will, dated 2 Dec., 1687, proved 17 Oct., 1688 (P.C.C. 134 Ent.), names his four sons William, Duke, Thomas, and James ; also four daughters, but no other relative. Thomas, the third son, a colonel of Militia and merchant, acted for many years as Agent in London for his

native island, and in his will, dated at Camber well, 27 July, 1739, proved 4 June, 1744 (138 Anstis), names (besides four daus.) his four sons :

1. Thomas, who m. and had a dau. Susan, a minor in 1739.

2. John, of Nevis, merchant (dead 1772), who m. Frances, dau. and coh. of Francis Saunders, planter (pre-nuptial settlement dated 29 Jan., 1746), and had an only s. and h. Thomas, of Greenwich in 1772.

3. James, d. 1770, aged 48, M.I. at Okeford Fitzpain, Dorset (284 Trevor).

4. Rev. Duke, Rector of Okeford Fitzpain, who was father of Billie Butler and others.

The arms on the Dorset monument are : Or, a chief indented sa., three covered cups of the first.

There were many Butlers in the West Indies, and Major Wm. Butler, Speaker of Nevis in 1697, was not apparently related to Capt. Thos. Butler of 1687.

CAROLINE AS A MASCULINE NAME (10 S. x. 450). Col. Caroline Scott entered the service of the Hon. East India Company after the rendition of Fort St. George by the French, 1 749. He belonged to H.M.'s 29th Regiment, and was A.D.C. to H.R.H. the Duke of Cumberland. He was specially employed by the Company as a military engineer to strengthen and complete the defence works of the fort. His Christian name has frequently been noticed, but always with an expression of surprise, as if it were un- usual. FRANK PENNY.

" CARDINAL" or ST. PAUL'S (10 S. x. 85, 173, 235, 273). A deed of 1393 on the Hus- ting Rolls of London (R. 122, memb. 7, dors. 53) makes mention of Martin Elys and John Lynton as " cardinals " of the cathedral. Neither of these clerics is named by Hennessy in his succession of the cardinals before alluded to. He, however, includes Elys in his list of unplaced minor canons, and tells us that he was Rector of St. Faith's and Vicar
