lane when Hyde manor was formed, the old course of Watling Street being then pre- historic, and probably known only to the learned.

Of Hyde as a manor the terms of the Act are :

" The site, soil, circuit, and procincts of the manor of Hyde, with all the demesne lands, tene- ments, rents, meadows, and pastures of the said manor, with all other profits and commodities to the same pertaining, now in the tenure of one John Arnold.''

The usual term " messuage " is not here (nor is it with the Eybury terms), the tenant's dwelling being implied in the tenements. The one manor house was that of Neyte, the lodge of the Abbot, lord of all Eia, whether or not divided into the lesser manors of Neyte, Eybury, and Hyde.

INSCRIPTIONS IN JERUSALEM.

THE following epitaphs and inscriptions were copied by me during a visit to Jerusalem in March of last year. They are on monu- ments in the British and German Protestant Cemetery, situated on Mount Sion, to reach which you pass through the garden of the Bishop Gobat Schools, beyond the Jaffa gate. The cemetery appears to be in the charge of the Church Missionary Society. Though now outside the walls, it was for- merly within the wall which enclosed Sion and Ophel. In the garden I saw the founda- tion of the great corner tower, and some remarkable Roman baths cut out of the rock. Many white stone Roman tesserae I saw on the ground also evidenced Roman occupa- tion.

Nos. 1-4 are near the wall between the cemetery and the garden, on the right of the gateway :

THE BALTIMORE AND " OLD MORTALITY " PATERSONS. (See 4 S. vi. 70, 187, 207, 243, 290, 354 ; vii. 60, 218, 264 ; 5 S. ii. 97).- After considerable discussion in ' N. & Q. r a number of years ago, it was pointed out by DR. RAMAGE, in an indirect reference to the will of William Patterson, father of Elizabeth (Patterson) Bonaparte, that this William Patterson had no direct connexion with John Paterson. son of " Old Mortality/' who went to Baltimore in 1774 or 1776.
