"PRIVATE HOTELS" (11 S. x. 348). The proprietors of ordinary hotels are subject to a public authority (the licensing magistrates), and by the terms of their licence are, among other things, bound, if they have room on their premises, to receive and provide with lodging and food all respectable travellers who apply to them. Private hotels have no licence to supply intoxicating liquors, and consequently the owners are private persons, not subject to the licensing laws, and at liberty to refuse accommodation to any or all applicants for such if they so choose.

FREDERICK FAMILY OF FREDERICK PLACE, OLD JEWRY, B.C. (11 S. x. 268). There is an excellent account of this family in The Genealogist for October, 1910, and January, 1911 (vol. xxvii. pp. 65, 149), by F. H. Suck- ling, but I can find no reference to Christopher Frederick, an astrologer and member of the family. The second son of Christopher Frederick, Serjeant -Surgeon to James I., was named Christopher, but very little seems to be known of him personally, and there is nothing to show that he was a man of science.

RUMNEY DlGGLE AND LEONORA FFREDE-

RICK (11 S. x. 269). Leonora Frederick was the eldest daughter of Thomas Frederick, the eldest son of Sir John Frederick, Knight, Lord Mayor of London 1661-2, and grand- son of Christopher Frederick, Serjeant - Surgeon to King James I., by his wife Leonora Maresco. Thomas Frederick, who lived in Downing Street, Westminster, seems to have had some trouble with his family, for in his will, dated May, 1718, he declared that his eldest son, John, had disappointed him, and that his daughters, Leonora, Mary, and Jane, had behaved disrespectfully to- wards him, and left him and gone from him in his old age, against his will and desire, and for this reason their legacies were smaller than he had intended. There i.s evidently here a family romance, in which Rumney Diggle may have played a principal part. His marriage with Leonora did not, however, take place till four and a half years after the death of the old gentleman, who was buried at St. Olave's, Old Jewry, on 2 June, 1720. Whether there was any issue of the marriage I r-annot say.
