NOTES AND QUERIES. rn s. HI. APRIL i, 1911,

But the most interesting, to my mind, at least, of all these lists is "A | Catalogue | of the | Lords, Knights, | and Gentlemen that have com- | pounded for their Estates. | London, | Printed for Thomas Dring at the signe | of the George in Fleetstreet neare | Cliffords Inne. 1655."

W. D. Fellowes in his ' Historical Sketches of Charles the First, Cromwell, Charles the Second,' &c. (Murray, 1828), reprints this little book in an appendix : he considers it very rare. According to the amounts given in the ' Catalogue,' a copy of which lies before me as I write, the total received from those who compounded was 1,305,299Z. 4s. Id. Fellowes states that the grand aggregate of the money raised by the Commonwealth from 1640 to 1659 was no less than 96,608,3932. 18s. 6%d. JOHN HODGKIN.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, OXFORD : FELLOW IN 1625 (11 S. iii. 149). The only Edmond in the list of Fellows here to whom COL. FYNMOBE'S query could apply is Edmundus Shepherd or Shepharde, who entered the College as batler in Easter Term, 1612, " plebei films," a native of Cumberland, aged 16. He was nominated Dudley Exhibitioner of Oriel 2 July, 1614, but, as was usual with Dudley Exhibitioners, con- tinued at Queen's, where he was elected taberdar 2 July, 1615, resigning his exhibition on the following 12 October. He proceeded B.A. 7 February, 1615/16, and M.A. 21 June,

1619. He was Lecturer in Grammar in the College, 1618; elected Fellow 26 October,

1620, and was " magister puerorum " or Dean in 1623. He continued Fellow till his death. His will was proved in Oxford 21 November, 1625. JOHN R. MAGBATH.

BETHLEM ROYAL HOSPITAL (11 S. iii. 167). In ' Calendar of State Papers,' 10 Decem- ber, 1618, p. 601, is recorded a commission to examine into a complaint that " Thomas Jenner, Governor of Bethlehem Hospital for Lunatics," was " not qualified for his office, and unskilful in medical art."

R. J. FYNMOBE.

The painting by Hogarth of Bethlem Hospital, Moorfields, was exhibited at the British Institution in 1814. It was then the property of" a Mr. Jones. Its present where- abouts is not known.

Might not the pictures of Fox and Burke be discovered by consulting Wright's ' Works of James Gillray,' London, Chatto, 1873, or Gillray' s ' Caricatures, Political and Social,' edited by Wright and Evans, London, 1851 ? S. W. S.

The REV. E. G. O'DONOGHUE may be interested to know that the Rake in Bedlam " moody manners laughing wild amid severest woe " was included in the Progress series staged at the " Old Surrey " Theatre in April, 1838. In November of the year following " Old Bedlam " was again in the play bills, as a scene in ' Jack Sheppard,' adapted by J. T. Haines from Harrison Ainsworth's novel. R. A. H. UNTHANK.

GOODBETEB : ITS LOCALITY (11 S. iii.

167). Is not "Mecksfyld" intended for Mexfield ? There is a Mexfield Road in Putney. L. L. K.

May not " Goodbeter " be merely a mis- print for Gloucester ? According to an Itinerary of 1798, it appears that about two miles beyond Marshfield, on the Bristol highway, a raad struck off to Gloucester. It is unnecessary to suppose that the traveller never turned aside while on the way to Brist )1. O.

THOMAS HARE (US. ii. 509 ; iii. 72). In the " parentelse," or lists of minor can- didates for election into College, for 1738 and 1739 Thomas Hare is described as the son of Thomas Hare of Boston, New England. Probably this was a mere temporary address, for in the admission of the son to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1743 the father is described as of London. G. F. R. B.

THOMAS COBYAT AND WESTMINSTEB SCHOOL (11 S. iii. 29, 72). There is 110 record at Westminster of Coryat having been at the School, for the admissions of that date are not in existence. Croker in his edition of Boswell's ' Johnson' (1831, vol. ii. p. 170, note) asserts that Coryat was educated at Westminster, but does not give any authority for the statement.

G. F. R. B.

WILLIAM JOSEPH LOCKWOOD (11 S. iii. 29, 97). Before this query was sent to ' N. & Q.' information was sought from the family, and they suggested that ' N. & Q.' should be consulted. The full name of the Westminster boy stated to have been " shot blind " was William Joseph Lockwood, and Burke, I am informed, is incorrect in calling him William only. G. F. R. B.

MATTHEW PBIOB'S BIBTHPLACE (11 S. iii. 47^ 91). in the ' Admissions to the College of St. John the Evangelist in the University of Cambridge,' part ii. p. 92, it is stated that " Dorcestr." was altered by a later hand to " Middlesexiensis."
