SCOTTISH TITLES CONFERRED BY OLIVER CROMWELL (11 S. iii. 88). Archibald John- stone of Warriston was one of those appointed by Cromwell to his Upper House, and re- ceived the title of Lord Warriston. Argyll had been craated Marquess by Charles I. He received no title from Cromwell. His status as Sheriff of Argyllshire was confirmed by the Commonwealth. I may say that though he did not sit in any of Oliver's parliaments, he was Member for Aberdeen- shire in the Parliament of Richard Crom- well. JOHN WILLCOCK.

Sir Archibald Johnston, Lord Warriston, was called by Cromwell to his House of Peers (January, 1658), and was also sum- moned to Richard Cromwell's House of Lords. I cannot find that Argyll was ever one of Cromwell's Peers.

VANISHING LONDON : PROPRIETARY CHAPELS (US. ii. 202, 254, 293, 334; iii. 149). At the last reference, under "Chapels pulled down or diverted," MR. FRANCIS mentions St. Etheldreda, Ely Place. Ac- cording to ' The Catholic Directory,' this chapel was built in 1297, and reopened as a place of Roman Catholic worship in 1876. It belongs to the Fathers of Charity, other- wise known as Rosminians. Ward, Lock & Co.'s ' London,' 1910, at pp. 228-9, says:

" Hatton Garden . . . .and Ely Place . . . ., stand on the site of the famous palace of the Bishop of

Ely, where John of Gaunt died in 1399.

Says Gloucester in ' Richard III.' :

' My lord of Ely, when I was last in Holborn, I saw good strawberries in your garden there ; I do beseech you send for some of them.' " Later the palace was occupied by Sir Christo- pher Hatton, Lord Keeper to Queen Elizabeth .... The only portion of the palace which escaped the Fire has recently been restored, and now

forms St. Etheldreda's Church, Ely Place, the only pre-Reformation church in London that has been restored to the Roman Catholic worship. The tracery of the east and west windows, the former filled with fine stained glass, the oak roof, the crypt, and the cloister in which fig-trees still flourish, make this quiet nook, in the heart of the great city, a place of exceptional interest." So we may be thankful that " Vanishing London " is a misleading heading, so far as St. Etheldreda's is concerned.

COURT LIFE (11 S. iii. 107, 156). A very useful work on this subject was published by William Strange of 21, Paternoster Row in 1848. Its title is fully indicative of the contents :

" Sketches of Her Majesty's Household : Interspersed with Historical Notes, Political Comments, and Critical Remarks, showing at one view, the salaries attached to the various appoint- ments, the nature and extent of the duties to be performed, the amount of Pensions upon Retire- ment or Superannuation, with descriptive particulars of each Department : Forming a Guide to Situations in the Sovereign's Domestic Establishment. By pointing out in whom the Patronage is vested, &c., and containing informa- tion relative to the English Court, interesting to all classes, derived from Private and High official Sources."

It is less historical than Thorn's ' Book of the Court ' and more critical, but certainly not scandalous. ALECK ABRAHAMS.

HENRY GATAKER (11 S. ii. 409 ; iii. 132). I have found, since sending my last reply to a query about one Gataker that Henry Gataker got third place at entrance in Trinity College, Dublin, on 6 July, 1796. He entered as a pensioner ; had been edu- cated at Westminster School, and took as his tutor Mr. Magee, F.T.C.D. (1766-1831), afterwards Archbishop of Dublin. His father's name was Thomas, and he was probably a clergyman (there is a blot on the entrance register), who belonged to the County Louth. Henry Gataker did not proceed to his degree.

WARWICK LANE AND ITS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS (11 S. iii. 121). Possibly COL. PRIDEAUX may be glad to know on high authority that, when Warwick the King- maker died on the field of battle at Barnet, he errs in saying that " all the honours and possessions of the Nevills fell into the hands of the ill-fated Clarence."

As a matter of fact there still exists a deed of partition of the copyholders of the Marquis Montague and Isabella Ingaldethorp
