the building or equipping of smuggling vessels capable of outsailing the Revenue cutters. Your correspondent may be ac- quainted with this law, but if not, and he should so desire, I daresay I could find it for him. DOUGLAS OWEN.

MR. HOGG will find ' The Autobiography of a Cornish Smuggler (Carter of Prussia Cove), 1749-1809,' edited by J. B. Cornish (London, 1894), a work of interest and psy- chological value. YGBEC/

The latest book on the subject is ' King's Cutters and Smugglers,' by E. K. Chatterton (1912). Other books are 'The Smugglers,' by C. G. Harper ; * English's Reminiscences of Old Folkestone Smugglers ' ; and ' Smuggling laid open in all its Branches,' by Sir Stephen Janssen, 1763 (see ' N. & Q.,' 3 S. i. 172). There is an account of smuggling in the ' History of Crime in England,' by L. O. Pike, and in 'The Encyclopaedia Britannica.' Numerous references will be found in the volumes of The Gentleman's Magazine, the ' Annual Register,' and in the Indexes of The Times. In 1822 there was published Revenue Coast Guard.' Articles and refer- ences will also be found in Clark Russell's 'Betwixt the Forelands,' Pritchard's 'His- tory of Deal,' Byng Gattie's ' Memorials of the Goodwin Sands,' 'The Land We Live In,' vol. ii., 1853, and The Home Counties' Magazine, June and September, 1912. See also Chambers' s Journal, 30 Dec., 1882 ; Daily Telegraph, 5 Aug., 1884 ; and ' An Old Smuggler,' in Clark Russell's ' On the Fok'sle Head.' G. P. R. James wrote a novel entitled 'The Smuggler.' The Treasury books and papers contain many allusions to the contraband trade. The trial of the Hawkhurst gang is contained in

'A full and ^emiinc history of the inhuman and unparalleled murders of Mr. William Galley, a Custom House Officer, and Mr. Daniel Chater,

a shoemaker, by fourteen notorious smuggle] s, with the Trials and Executions of the Seven Bloody Criminals at Chichester.'

John Wesley's Journals and Joyce's ' His- tory of the Post Office ' also contain refer- ences to the smuggling trade.

THE BKUNELS AT CHELSEA (11 S. viii. 199). In your notice of the ' Survey of London ' at the above reference it is stated that No. 98, Cheyne Walk, was the home of Brunei and his only son from before 1811 until after 1826. Marc Isambard Brunei took out many patents, and he is described in those granted in 1808, 1810, 1812, 1813, and 1814 as "of Chelsea." In the patents granted 14 March, 1816, and 20 Jan., 1818, he gives his residence as " Lindsay Row, Chelsea " ; but in the patent issued on 5 Nov. of the last-named year he is described simply as "of Chelsea." Whether this indicates that he was still living at Lindsay Row, or that he had returned to his old house at Cheyne Walk, I am unable to say. In 1820 and 1822 he is still " of Chelsea " ; but he seems to have left before 16 July, 1825, at which date his address is given as " Bridge Street, Blackfriars." I possess a letter from him dated 14 April, 1815, written from " Chelsea."

'TRAMWAYS" (2 S. v. 128; xii. 229, 276, 358; 6 S. ii. 225, 356, 498; iii. 12, 218, 413, 433, 477 ; 7 S. iii. 96, 373 ; vi. 285 ; 11 S. viii. 168). The Mr. " Homfrary " mentioned at the last reference is Samuel Homfray, a well-known South Wales ironmaster, who ought to have been noticed in the ' D.N.B.' If the Bill for constructing a tramway from Cardiff to Merthyr Tydvil was ever intro- duced into Parliament, a record will most certainly be found either in the Journals of the House of Lords or the Journals of the House of Commons. Your contributor should refer to F. Clifford's ' History of Private Bill Legislation,' 2 vols., 8vo, 1885-6, where he will find some useful information on the subject of early tramway and railway Bills. R. B. P.

In a practical treatise on railroads, by Nicholas Wood, 1825, p. 127, we read :

'Two years af'tri- 1h<- date of this patent, we find that Air. Trevithick made an engine in South Wales, whic'h was tried upon the Merthyr Tydvil Rail-road."

I suppose the date can be discovered by the reference on p. 125 to " 4th Vol. Rep. Arts, 2nd Series, p. 241 " ; apparently it was about 1802-4. A. H. W. FYNMORE.
