Collector. 1 The sale took place on 28 May and five following days. A former owner has written in pencil against the word "Collector" " Strettell-Utterson.-' 2 E. V. Utterson's library was sold in 1852-7, and that of Amos Strettell, according to Hazlitt, in 1840 (he had a previous sale in 1820). It occurs to me as possible that the books might be duplicates from these two libraries, but there are a good many rare works and valuable manuscripts among them.

The catalogue, though quoted from by Lowndes, does not seem to be well known, as it contains a First Folio Shakespeare (with indication of imperfections) not noticed by Mr. Sidney Lee ; a copy of ' The Lyf of Saint Katherin of Sen is s printed by Caxton, but unknown to Mr. Seymour de Ricci ; and a copy of the ' Chroniques de Saint Denys * printed by Verard, but apparently not mentioned in Mr. Mac- farlane's illustrated monograph.

CLERGYMEN EDUCATED AT NONCONFORMIST ACADEMIES. In Mr. J. Horsfall Turner's edition of Oliver Heywood's * Diaries * there is a list of pupils at the Nonconformist academy conducted by Richard Frankland, M.A., in which a few of the names are marked by an asterisk, the meaning of which is not explained. Several of those so marked became clergymen of the Church of England, and the probability is that all did so. The following is a list of the names, with the dates of admission to the academy, and brief notes on those we have identified. We shall be glad of any information concerning the others, and particulars of the later career of those identified, only two or three of \\hom we have traced to their deaths.

Jeremiah Farrer, 1673 (M.A. Edinburgh 1676).

Thomas Ingham, 1673 (Curate of Coppul in Standish parish to 1715).

George Carter, 1673.

John Heapy, 1673 (Curate of Burtonwood in Warrington parish. 1680).

Richard Foxcroft, 1674 (B.A. Cantab. 1677-8, Incumbent of Hoole, 1686-1701).

Robert Langstaff, 1676.

Robert Meek, 1677 (Curate of Slaithwaite, 1685 to his death, 1724).

Samuel Leech, 1678 (Curate of Stockport, 1687. Bur. at Sheffield 21 Mar., 1693/4).

Samuel Ferrand, 1680 (? Vicar of Rotherham, 1704 to circa 1733).

Edward Sedgwick, 1681 (? Curate of Lymm, Cheshire, and Billinge, Lancashire, in 1699, when he was " presented " for pluralism).

James Liptrott, 1681.

Edward Sherdley, 1683 (B.A. Cantab, 1687, Curate of Blackburn. Bur. 24 Dec., 1693).

John Sidebottom, 1684 (probably marked in error, as he appears to have been Nonconformist minister at Ashford in the Water. Died 1693).

Radcliff Scolfield, 1688 (may have conformed early in life, but from 1717 to his death, 1728, was a Nonconformist minister).

William Buxton, 1689.

Henry Hardacres, 1689 (H. Hardacre, M.A. Cantab. 1699).

Thomas Barbour, 1689.

A number of the students admitted during the later years of Frankland' s Academy also became clergymen, but the list contains no asterisks after 1689.

FRANCIS NICHOLSON. The Knoll, Windermere.

ERNEST AXON. Lightcliffe, Hatherlow, near Stockport.

WARMING CITY CHURCHES. How were the City churches Warmed in the century following their re-erection after the Great Fire ? Are we to understand that, out of regard for the destruction wrought by the fiery element in 1666, the congregations Were content to " sit and shiver ?l throughout the winter season ? The earliest reference to the provision of a stove (or "Warming machine," as it is quaintly termed) for SS. Anne and Agnes' occurs in the Warden's accounts under the date of 1805-6. It appears that a number of other churches in the neighbourhood had had stoves in- stalled somewhat before this period, how- ever. WILLIAM McMuRRAY.

MANORIAL PENALTY ROLLS : " BENEATH HIS HORSE." In a " peine " or penalty roll of a North-Country manor the following provision occurs :

" That euery man doe bringe his horse to fifray and following and not come on foot but to carry the same as ffar as he will carry him upon the payne of vj 8 viij d prouided that if the Tennant or he that followes be beneath his horse or more that then he shall follow upon his foot."

What is the meaning of " beneath his horse ' 2 ? Is there any published book in which specimens of these penalty rolls are given and explained ?

RICHARD WELFORD.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

JOHN SPARROW (1615-65 ?), barrister of the Inner Temple, translated the Works of Jacob Bohme, 1647-62. I should be extremely obliged if any of your readers would direct me to sources of information concerning John Sparrow. The account in the 'Diet. Nat. Biog.' is meagre in the extreme. C. J. BARKER.
