WE must request correspondents desiring in jrmation on family matters of only private interest 3 affix their names and addresses to their queries, i order that answers may be sent to them direct.

' NICHOL'S CITIES AND TOWNS OF SCOT- AND.' The British Museum set of ' Nichol's 'ities and Towns of Scotland,' 1840 (Maps 7. - e. 34), comprises only the first four parts, iz., I. Aberdeen, II. Perth, III. Glasgow, V. Dumfries. Another part dealt with Eontrose, of which there are copies in the Aberdeen University Library and the Mont- ise Public Library. But each of these copies icks the cover on which the number of le part is noted. Low's 'Bibliography of fontrose Periodical Literature ' erroneously ves the number as "IT." Is the correct umber " V." ? and were other parts of le series issued ? P. J. ANDERSON.

' LATE LORD LYTTELTON'S LETTERS TO RS. PEACH.' (See 11 S. i. 142.) Under lie statue of Catharine Macaulay, when it iood in the church of St. Stephen, Walbrook, I as engraved on marble what professed to ' a quotation from the above-named otters.' The " late Lord " must have en George, first Lord Lyttelton, whose n, Thomas, married Mrs. Peach. A writer, "Crito," in The Oentlemaris agazine (1777), xlvii. 470, expresses his u'liion that the said letters are spurious, it Sir G. Otto Trevelyan in his ' American ^volution,' new ed., 1905, iii. 252, quotes

from the passage referred to as having been written by George, Lord Lyttelton. I have searched in vain for these ' Letters ' in the British Museum. I should much like to know how to find them, and whether they are generally believed to be authentic or spurious. ROBERT PIERPOINT.

BEAUMONT, BOWMAN, OR BOMAN. Can any reader supply, or suggest where I can obtain, information concerning one Beaumont (or possibly Bowman or Boman) who filled some judicial office in Ireland in the early years of the eighteenth century ? I am informed that " he was a judge on the Northern Circuit," but as this description is somewhat vague, I should be glad to know whether he was a judge of the High Court or a County Court judge.

Any particulars regarding his family or himself would be welcomed.

FOREIGN TAVERN SIGNS. It is reported that an inn called " The King of Prussia," at Barnet, has been renamed. How many such German signs exist in this country, and have the licensing magistrates any urisdiction over the names of premises under their control ?

"I AM THE ONLY RUNNING FOOTMAN."

Dn the exterior of a public -house in Charles ~treet, Mayfair, is an illustrated signboard with the words as above. What is their rigin ?

HUNDRED OF MANHOOD. It would be of nterest to ascertain the origin of the name f the Hundred of Manhood, near Chichester, n Sussex. J. LANDFEAR LUCAS.
