NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. vn. JUNE n, 1913.

GRILLION'S CLUB (11 S. vii. 349, 390). The list of portraits given on p. 393 includes ! 77 of the 128 portraits in the two published I volumes, but it is not quite accurate. The | Hon. E. Douglas appears in the Index of the first volume as Hon. E. S. N. Douglas, TDut the portrait is signed F. S. N. Douglas. There is no W. de Grey Egerton or Rob. Lemon, but the second volume contains portraits of Sir P. de Malpas Grey- Egerton and Sir Charles Lemon. Lord Lyttelton's name is correctly spelt in the Index, and the portrait is signed. My own copy has all the portraits indexed in the two volumes,

except one of P. Pusey, Esq. I suppose that in the printed list of members which serves as an index, and was presented to the Club by Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, the name of the recipient was printed in red ink. My copy, which came out of the library of the late Lord Hatherley, indexes his portrait as that of Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood, in red ink. It contains portraits of members who Were not included in the 1864 issue.

As the persons portrayed are very dis- tinguished, and the portraits and engravings superior to the earlier ones, I give a list.

Most of the portraits in the two volumes have the names of the artist and engraver, but a few (and these are some of the best) have nothing on them beyond the signature of the subject. One of these is a fine por- trait of Bishop Wilberforce. The earlier portraits are not very convincing likenesses, and were badly engraved. There was a great improvement when the Holls undertook the work. J. J. FREEMAN.

Your readers may like to know that Pierre GrilKon resided at an old-fashioned house situate at East Acton, W., where he used to rear, under glass, " rare and refreshing fruit," such as grapes, pineapples, melons, &c., which were sent to his hotel in London, and no doubt helped to grace the table of the Club dinners.

I notice it is stated that " in 1860 Mr. Grillion purchased the Clarendon Hotel," Ac. Should this not refer to his executors, who possibly were carrying on his business ? Mr. Grillion was, evidently, not alive at this date. I quote from a lease of the premises which my late father took over in 1857, viz. :

" All that messuage or dwelling-house, garden, field and outbuildings, &c., late in the possession and occupation of the executors of the late Pierre Grillion."

COLLEGES : MATRICULATION AND GRA- DUATION (US. vii. 409). The mention of two colleges in one entry may mean (1) migration ; (2) election and scholarship ; (3) election to a fellowship. In the last case it is a very common thing to see that a man has taken the B.A. degree from one college, and the M.A. from another.

I believe that in former days it was not unusual for undergraduates to migrate, obtaining from the head of their college a bene decessit, but, so far as I know, the prac- tice is obsolete.

The reason given in the eighteenth century by an undergraduate for wishing to migrate from Hert Hall to Trinity was that " he hoped to have his health better in the latter place, as it had a fine garden."

No. 3 would not apply to your corre- spondent's second quotation, Halls having no fellows.

What I have said applies to Oxford only. E. L. H. TEW.

Upham Rectory, Hants.

I think no hard-and-fast rule can be laid down with reference to this practice. There are many instances of it at different periods ; and the migration has taken place some- times immediately after matriculation, and sometimes at a later period of the in- dividual's university career.
