" It will be seen [writes Mr. Ashby] that two centuries ago, as now, relief was given in kind and money. But it was given chiefly in money. There are fifty entries of gifts in money to one in kind."

The first mention of a county payment at Tysoe is in 1739, when we have a record of the payment of 18*. Id. "To ye High Constable." Mr. Ashby points out that the sum paid " to the High Constable " included the whole of the county charges, but that the overseers still paid direct for the prosecution of certain classes of law- breakers. May not the payment for " asso- ciation money " at Walton have been in connexion with an " Association for the prosecution of felons," such as exists to-day in the parish of Tarn worth -in- Arden.

Mr. Ashby's articles are included in the third series of Prof. Vinogradoff 's ' Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History'; see p. 424 of The Times Literary Supplement for 10 Oct. last. A. C. C.

BURIAL-PLACE OF MABY DE BOHTTN (11 S. vi. 211, 313). Mr. William Kelly, F.S.A., in his work on ' Royal Progresses and Visits to Leicester,' 1884, p. 179, says :

" The mortal remains of the Countess of Derby [Mary de Bohun] were deposited in the Collegiate Church of the Newarke [Leicester], and over her remains her son Henry the Fifth in later years caused a tomb of brass" to be erected." He further quotes the following entry on the Issue Roll of the Exchequer, 1st of Henry V. :

" 20th May (1413). To William Godezer, citizen and coppersmith, of London. In money paid to his own hands, in advance for newly devising and making an image in likeness of the mother of the present Lord the king, ornamented with divers arms of the Kings of England, and placed over the tomb of the said King's mother within the King's College at Leicester, where the mother of the aforesaid Lord the King is buried and entombed, 431."

Leland, who visited the Collegiate Church of the Newark before its demolition, writes :

" Constance, daughter to Peter, king of Castelle, and wife to John of Gaunt, lieth afore the high altare in a tombe of marble, with an image of brass (like a quene) on it. There is a tombe of marble in the body of the quire. They told me that a countes of Darby lay buried in it ; and they make her, I wot not how, wife to John of Gaunt or Henry the IV."

Within the church adjoining the Trinity Hospital, the Newarke, Leicester, is at present an alabaster tomb with the effigy of a lady of the fourteenth century upon it.

Although its history is not known, it is believed to have been removed from the Collegiate Church, and placed here at the demolition of the King's College and Church of the Newarke. By some it is believed to be the tomb of Mary de Bohun, no doubt following Leland. Wyrley, who visited this Trinity Hospital in 1590, noticed this " monu- ment of a lady curiously wrought, but of no note or mark."

There is neither inscription nor arms upon it (the latter having been defaced) by which it can be identified. HARRY QUILTER.

" WHEN, DEAREST, I BUT THINK OF THEE " : SONG BY SUCKLING OR BY FELL- THAM (11 S. vi. 346). It should be noted that this song will not be found in the first edition of ' Fragmenta Aurea,' which was printed for Humphrey Moseley in 1646. This collection was " published by a Friend to perpetuate his [Suckling's] memory," and was " printed by his owne Copies." Its omission seems to show that the song was not found among Suckling's papers after his death. W. F. PRTDEAUX.

FRENCH SONNET : FELIX ARVERS (11 S . vi. 246, 334, 418). The British Museum Library owns several of the works of Felix Arvers.
