lost for ages. If there are any modern edi- tions of the * Iliad ' which print the digamma, such text can only be the result of the editor's imagination. Possibly Knight's * Iliad' is such an edition. PHILIPPA BOBBINS.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY VOLUNTEERS (10 th S. v. 108, 156). In case S. T. S. has not a list of the officers of the above, I forward that of 13 June, 1798.

Shrimpton's * Handbook to Oxford,' 1878, p. 79, states : " The Duke of York reviewed 20,000 volunteers in Port Meadow in 1798."

[We have forwarded the list to S. T. S.]

EARLY ENGLISH LITERATURE (10 th S. v. 164). A. S. says he does not know whether the passage he transcribes from Hanmer's noticed." I printed the greater part of it in 8 th S. vii. 25, and gave a reference to it at 10 th S. iv. 486. W. C. B.

WIGAN BELL FOUNDRY (10 tb S. v. 168). If MR. HARLAND-OXLEY will send me his ad- dress, I will send him a portfolio of notes re Wigan bell-founders for his perusal.

CANDLEWICK OR CANDLEWRIGHT STREET (10 th S. v. 169). The intermediate stage between Candlewick Street and Canning or Cannon Street was Canwyke Street, which is the form used in the fifteenth century by Dan John Lydgate in his * London Lickpeny ': Then went I forth by London Stone, Throughout all Canwyke Streete.

ST. EXPEDITUS (10 th S. v. 107, 156). I have just seen a coloured statue, almost certainly modern, of St. Expeditus in the church of Vaux sous-Laon, Aisne. He was presented as young and of pleasing countenance. His left hand and arm supported a palm branch, his right held aloft a little cross inscribed with the word "Hodie," and he trod upon a crow connected with a label on which " Cras" was particularly legible; Not a bad render- ing into Latin of the bird's cry.

ST. S WITHIN.

HABITUAL CRIMINALS (10 th S. v. 148). The Judicial and Criminal Statistics, 1905, will, I think, give the information which is asked for. The numbers are : for England and Wales, Cd. 2336 ; for Ireland, Cd. 2632 ; for Scotland, Cd. 2317. They are to be bought from Wyman & Sons, Fetter Lane, E.C.,

or possibly second-hand from King & Son, 2, Great Smith Street, Westminster, S.W. ROBERT PIERPOINT.

JOHNLATTON (10 th S. v. 149). John Latton on the death of William III. retired to Burwood, where he died on 15 Nov., 1727, which is evidence that he had not previously sold the estate. A full account of him appears in that invaluable work Manning and Bray's 'History of Surrey,' which also gives the list of offices held by him.

He is described in the Heralds' Visitation of Surrey as follows :

Bucks, and of Richmond Park, steward of the manor of Richmond, and lord of the mannors of Esher in Surry," c.
 * i John Latton, Esq., of Kingston Bagpuze in

JOHN SYDNEY HAM.

The following extract from my manuscript notes on Walton-on-Thames may interest D. K. T., and perhaps give a clue to the date when John Latton left Walton, if such was the case :

" J. Latton, as a Justice of the Peace for Surrey, on J3 February, 1705/6, signs a certificate that Richard Miles is an inhabitant of Weybridge and that Walton parish shall be held harmless for his settlement in it ; and he signs many similar certifi- cates, and also examinations of paupers, until 19 September, 1725, after which date his name does not appear in the pauper records of Walton, though there are as many as six examples of it in 1725. The surname Latton does not occur in the marriage registers of Walton from 1639 to 1777, unless ' Lay- ton & ?Chasicall, 1669,' also ' Layton & ?Tursim> 1677,' are variations of it."

I have not yet indexed the baptismal and burial registers of Walton.

LUSTRE WARE (10 th S. v. 110, 158). For a study of Spanish lustred pottery in the fifteenth century see ' Hispano - Moresque Ware of the Fifteenth Century,' by A. Van de Put (Chapman & Hall). The illustrations to this quarto work include thirty - two plates, some coloured, illustrating the prin- cipal varieties of lustre pottery produced at Valencia between 1400 and 1500. The work by Davillier is in many respects out of date.

For fourteenth century lustre ware, in- cluding the famous vases of the Alhambra type, see an illustrated article in the Jahrbuc/i (xxiv. 103) of the Royal Prussian Art Collection, on 'Die Spanisch-maurischen Lusterfayencen des Mittelalters und ihre Herstellung in Malaga,' by F. Sarre. X.

SIR K. PEEL'S FRANKED AND STAMPED- LETTERS (10 th S. v. 48). Is it certain that the envelopes were franked? It is the present
