Lambert, vicar 1675-1721, and to have re mained on during the incumbency of th< , non-resident successor. In a description o the storm, partly given in the Parish Regis ter, it is recorded that

" he, the curate, went running over to the house of a neighbour with a young child in his shin lap, saying, ' This is all I have left,' " supposing the others to have been killed the end of the vicarage and its roof having been blown off. This hurricane had such extraordinary effects that I may give the full account of it at a future date, shoulc it be thought worthy of a place in ' N. & Q. A Thomas Gale was Vicar of Withernwick five miles distant, 1715-16, but that does not help the inquiry. I wish to know whal became of Thomas Gale of Hornsea, for he die not die in that parish. E. L. H. TEW,

Vicar of Hornsea 1872-97 Upham Rectory, Hants.

[We should welcome the account of the storm kindly suggested.]

KNIGHTS TEMPLARS AND KNIGHTS OF ST. JOHN OF JERUSALEM TEMP. EDWARD II. In an old book recently sent me it is stated that there were lists of the names of the members of these Orders in the reign of Edward II., and that these had been printed in some one of Prinn's works. An examina- tion of the printed works and manuscripts of that author at the British Museum and in New York fails to reveal the lists. The writer would greatly appreciate any infor- mation as to where such lists may be found, either printed or in manuscript form.

MAGISTRATES WEARING HATS ON THE BENCH. About the middle of the last century it was the custom of the London police magistrates to wear their hats in court. This is borne out by the representa- tions of the interior of police courts in The Illustrated London News. I mention par- ticularly a woodcut in the issue of that paper for 17 Oct., 1846 (p. 253), representing Mr. William Bond sitting at Westminster Police Court. Was this a London custom ? or did it extend to the provinces ? R. B. P.

REVERSED ENGRAVING. In a visit to Hogarth's house and grounds at Chiswick (fortunately rescued from demolition through the public spirit of a local resident, to whom all the world owes thanks) I discovered that the " Canvassing " scene the original paint- ing of which is in Sir John Soane's Museum has been engraved without reversing the

picture on the plate, consequently the figures are left-handed, and the group on the left of the picture appears on the right of the engraving, and vice versa. This par- ticular engraving to which I refer is by Grignon, but on making inquiry I find that many of those .engraved by Hogarth him- self, or engraved jointly with another, are also reversed that is to say, not reversed on the plate. I conclude that it was merely to avoid the trouble of making a reversed outline on the plate that this peculiarity is due. Was similar neglect common in Hogarth's day ? It would be deemed very bad form now to publish a " negative " engraving. E. D. T.

DOUGLAS FAMILY. Can any of your readers inform me to what family William Douglas of Lochhead belonged ? He was alive in 1674, and Lochhead is close to Lochmaben in Dumfriesshire. It has been suggested that William Douglas of Loch- head was identical with William Douglas of Coshogill. F. A. JOHNSTON.

HENRY DAVID INGLIS (1795-1835). He brought out, under the pen-name of Derwent Conway,

"A Personal Narrative of a Journey through Norway, Part of Sweden, arid the Islands and States of Denmark " (Edinburgh, " Constable's Miscellany," March, 1829%

It contains some account of the ' National Song of Norway, legendary Song and Ballads of Norway, the Mountain Airs of Norway, Specimens of a Love Song, a Drinking Song, and a War Song, translated from the High Norse," &c.

He says :

"I have been at some pains in collecting the ^Mountain] airs, and the words to which they are mng. Some of these are in manuscript, others I earned by ear, and have had set since returning to England, in the idea of publishing the whole, with English translations of the words, as Scandinavian melodies " (pp. 64-5).

Was the collection of music ever published ? There is no copy in the British Museum.

The biography of Henry David Inglis in .he ' D.N.B.' sadly needs revision. The ollowing curious error remained uncorrected n the second edition :

" Subsequently Inglis settled in London, and in 837 contributed to Colburn's Neiv Monthly Maga- ine his last literary work, ' Rambles in the Foot- teps of Don Quixote,' with illustrations by George }ruikshank. He died of disease of the brain, the esult of overwork, at his residence in Bayham ?errace, Regent's Park, on Friday, 20 March, 1835."

Mr. Colburn evidently had some churchyard ontributors ! ANDREW DE TERNANT.
