SIR CHRISTOPHER DOMINICK, KNIGHT, M.D. (11 S. vi. 330). There was no knight of this name. Christopher Dominick, M.D., of Dublin, matriculated at Oxford from Balliol 26 Oct., 1660, described as " Sacerd. fil." (being most probably a son he had a brother named Andrew of Andrew Domi- nick, D.D., Vicar of Strathfieldsay, Hants). He graduated B.A. from Wadham College in 1664, became M.B. 1670 and M.D. 1675, and seems to have practised altogether in Dublin, where he acquired a considerable amount of property, and where his name is perpetuated in Dominick Street. In 1692 he was elected M.P. for Ardfert, but died shortly afterwards. He married, 1 May, 1676, Elizabeth, dau. of Samuel Foley of Clonmel, and sister of Samuel Foley, D.D., Bishop of Down and Connor. By her (who married secondly, August, 1694, Henry Davis of Carrickfergus, and died in 1736) he had an only son, Christopher Dominick, who matriculated at Trinity College, Dublin, as a Fellow Commoner 15 Nov.. 1697, aged

17, but did not graduate. He married in December, 1730, Rebecca, eldest dau. of James Hamilton of Johnstown, co. Dublin. M.P. for Carlow F727-60, and died suddenly 29 July. 1743, leaving two daughters. Emilia, the younger, died unmarried. Eliza- beth, the elder, who became sole heir to her father, married, 18 July, 1752, St. George Ussher - St. George, M.P. for Carrick - on - Shannon from 1741 to 1763, when he was raised to the peerage as Baron St. George, a title which became extinct on his death without male issue at Naples in January, 1775. Emilia Olivia Mary, the only child and heir of Lord St. George and Elizabeth Dominick, married, 4 Nov., 1775, William Robert, second Duke of Leinster.

PRICE OF TOBACCO IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY (US. vi. 268, 336, 413). One of the most interesting diaries dealing with the years 1671-1707 is ' The Account Book of Sir John Foulis, of Ravelston.' Here we have numerous entries of tobacco bought, and a few of its sale, together with the price at each entry. It is, perhaps, necessary to say the prices are according to the value of Scottish money, and it will be observed there is a remarkable difference between the prices paid by Foulis and those previously quoted.

On 24 July, 1672, we learn that Foulis was at Leith, when he went " to looke after ye wine and tobacco, I/. 4s. Od." On 18 Aug. the following entry is " for the barrens that holds the tobacco, 01. 14s. Orf. ; ' ; and on 17-18 Oct. " spent at leith when I sold the tobacco, &c., 91. 3s. 6c?." On 26 March, 1680, there is a payment of " 001. 3s. 6d." for " tobacco and pypes." Similar entries are very numerous.

To come to a definite weight and price : " March 31, 1681, for half a pund comon tobacco, 01. Is. Orf." ; " May 2, 1689, for tobacco J pund,OZ. 6s. Orf." It thus appears that there must have been two very dif- ferent qualities of tobacco in Scotland at the time.

Among the very many curious and instruc- tive entries may I quote two ? On 12 Oct., 1691, " for a pund snuff from Gawin Plummer, 41. Os. Od." ; " for sweet scented snuff, 4 drap,* 01. 6s. Od." June, 1690, "for wine and tobacco and pypes after sermon wt ym, 1Z. 6s. 4d.," &c.
