i GEORGE Ill.'s INTEREST IN FARMING. I understand that in setting up a Yorkshire farm (and others) near Windsor, George III. imported families from Yorkshire or Lincoln- shire to take up cultivation. I should be glad to have all details concerning the different farms, the names of these families, and what became of them. CURIO-BOX.

KNIGHTS MADE AT THE CORONATION

OF QUEEN ANNE BOLEYN, 1533.

(US. xii. 301, 369.)

" THE noble triumphant Coronation of Queen Anne, wife unto the most noble King Henry VIII. Imprinted at London in Fleet Street by Wynkyn de Worde for John Gough " contains the fullest probably com- plete list of these knights. The pamphlet is included by the late Edward Arber in vol. ii. of his * English Garner.' On 25 May, " the Sunday before the Triumph," the King, we are told, made at his manor of Greenwich seven knights, whose names are ?iven. See the list in Metcalfe's ' Book of V vol. ii. p. 49. On Friday, 30 May, the King made in the Tower nineteen Knights of the Bath names given by both Metcalfe (pp. 62-4) and Shaw (vol. i. pp. 149-50), but in both the number is reduced to eighteen by the omission of Lord Berkeley. On 31 May the King then again in the Tower made no fewer than forty-six " Knights of the Sword " ; and on 8 June at Greenwich eleven others. The lists of these are so much more extensive than those found in Metcalfe and Shaw who enumerate twenty only on 31 May, and, with one exception, omit altogether those on 8 June that I venture to ask the Editor of ' N. & Q.' to print them entire.

The " Six Commoners " named by CANON FLETCHER do not appear amongst these creations, and, I fancy, are incorporated in the original MS. by some error. That all six were knights may be accepted, but their knighthood occurred at dates later than Anne Boleyn's coronation. They certainly were not Knights of the Bath.

" Mr. Verney of Penleye " may be easily identified as Ralph Verney of Periley, Herts,
