COLLET AT LEYDEN. An uncle of the Collets of Little Gidding was living a Leyden in 1643-4. Most probably he wai one of their merchant relatives, and if no a Collet, he might have been a Wodenoth or a Ferrar. I have applied for information first, to the Secretary of the Senate of Leyden University, and secondly (at his suggestion to the Chief Archivist of that town ; bui they have neither of them records of the British residents of that date. Can any reader kindly suggest another course that might lead to the identification of this person ? Please reply direct.

SIR ANTHONY AND ANTHONY STANDEN: THE ARMADA.

(11 S. i. 388.)

THE following epitaph, which I copy from Manning and Bray's ' History of Surrey,' 1804, throws some light on the parentage of these brothers :

" East Molesey Church, on a brass plate in the middle ayle : ' Here lyeth Anthonie Standen, Gent., third son of Edmond Standen, Esq., which Anthonie was Cupbearer to the King of Scotland, sometime Lord Barley [sic], father to King James now of England, and also sworne servant to his Majestic, who, after much experi- ence of the various state of humane things marying, bequeathed himself to a quiet and private life, where notw th standing evermore endevoring (although with his owne cost) to make peace betweene those that were att debate, promoting ye poore man's cause, often w th his owne expense, and full of other pious workes, he departed this life the 10th of March, 1611, in the 71 yeare of his age. This stone Elizabeth his widdowe hath placed for a remembrance of him."

There is reference in the same work to certain property held by Edmund Standen (presumably the father of the Anthony mentioned in the epitaph), including the manor of Molesey Matham, held before by Thos. Langar :

' 5 May, 5 Edw. VI., 1552, a reversionary lease
 * or 21 years, commencing at the expiration of the

ast mentioned, was granted to Edmund Standen, Esq.

" 23 Oct., 15 Elizabeth, 1573, these premises were demised to W m Howard for 21 years from
 * he expiration of that granted to Standen.

" 13 Jan., 28 Eliz., A 1586, a lease was granted E. and W. Molesey for 21 years : rent 44. 8d., value 131. 6s. 8d." '
 * o Edmund Standen, Esq., of lands, Ac., in

East Molesey Church was damaged by fire in 1863, pulled down, and rebuilt.

The Standen arms were Azure, a mullet or ; on a chief indented of the last a lion jassant gules.

Is it not possible that the Anthony Standen of Walton-on-Thames, mentioned by MB. WAINEWBIGHT as appearing before the Privy Council in 1586, may be the same as the Derson referred to in the above epitaph ? CTiere seems to be a gap in his history Between 1575, when he was at Brussels, and 590, when he was imprisoned in Bordeaux.

By the ' Acts of the Privy Council ' it eems that one Edmund Standen was Clerk f the Stable in the time of Edward VI., here being five references to him between 550 and 1552. May this not have been the ather of Anthony Standen of East Molesey 5
