OLDEST INDIAN SETTLEMENT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. The following comes from The Freeman's Journal of 1 Nov. : h " The entire Indian village on the site of Prince George, the new Grand Trunk Pacific town, will be burned down within a few days to make way for the new town. The torch will be applied ruthlessly, and the ancestral homes of the tribes -will be swept away to the last building. Even

the churches of the natives will not be spared. The Indians are moving their property to t\M new villages built for them on the reserve in the Goose country, 15 miles up the Fraser, and on Duck Lake, 12 miles up the Nechaco river. When the railway company purchased the Indian reserve which is the site of Prince George, it was agreed through the Dominion Government that new villages should be built for the tribe. The town to be burned down is one of the oldest Indian settlements known in British Columbia. It has been an Indian village from time imme- morial. The tribe is known as the Carrier, from the fact that early discoverers found they carried charred bones of their ancestors constantly with them. They are also known as the Western Dones."

MATRIMONIAL COMPLICATIONS. The will of William Davies of Penryn, co. Cornwall, dated 6 July, 1616, proved P.C.C. 2 Jan., 1616/17, seems to suggest some curious matrimonial complications :

" Item I give and bequeath unto Anne, nowe or sometyme my wief, if shee be livinge. twelve pence, more I give and bequeath unto Stephen Davies her son twelve pence. Item I give and bequeath unto Henry, John, Philip, and William, the children of Jane, the daughter of Robert Peers, my supposed wief, five poundes a piece. Item I give and bequeath unto Anne the daughter of the said Jane tenne poundes." The will was proved by Jane Peers, the executrix named therein. P. D. M.

BASTINADO : GOLF-STICKS. John Bur- bury, who travelled with Lord Henry Howard from Vienna to Constantinople ('Relation of a Journey,' London, 1671), mentions the following incident. At Jogada, half way between the two places mentioned above, the cook of the Englishmen's host ran away, but was caught and " drubbed most severely," receiving on his bare feet 200 strokes " with a stick as big and shaped like that we play at Goff with, in so much that " he was black in the face, and, lolling out his tongue, " expired in a manner, but afterwards recovered."

p. 355.) I have been courteously informed by MR. H. DUGDALE SYKES that others had anticipated me in seeing a reference to Webster's play in the letter of the Venetian of 1618. Dr. E. E. Stoll in his book ' John Webster,' ] 905, has the following foot-note :
 * THE DUCHESS OF MALFI.' (See ante,

"A writer in The Quarterly Review for 1859, in his review of a translation of Busino's journals and despatches by Rawdon Brown ( ' not published ' then, and, so far as I can discover at the British Museum, still not published) adds in a note that Busino describes a play in 1618 that must be ' Main.' Ward repeats this [' History of Dramatic Literature '], iii. p. 59."
