there. Perhaps they lived there after Tobie had squandered his father's wealth. The name of the family has various forms. In the church at Ongar there are two Z's. In Edmund Lodge's ' Illustrations of British History,' &c., 1791, vol. iii. p. 41, a foot-note says concerning the first of the name in England, " Sir Horatio Palavicini, or, according to his own spelling, Palavicino."

" PLOWDEN " (11 S. ix. 305). On p. 83 of vol. ii. (not yet complete) of ' Surnames of the United Kingdom ' (Eaton Press), by Mr. Henry Harrison, this name is explained

thus :

"Plowden (Eng.). Belonging to Plowden (Salop), 13th cent. Ploeden [the second element is M.E. den(e, O.E. denu, a valley) : the first is doubtful ; but note that the celebrated Marian lawyer Plowden (' The case is altered, quoth Plowden ' : Proverb) was called Ploy den by John Fletcher, and that ploy(e was a M.E. variant of plow(e, plough ; it was, however, also a rare variant of M.E. pley(e, play]."

LIVERPOOL REMINISCENCES (US. ix. 368). The book sought for may possibly be one of the following :

' Recollections of Liverpool by a Nonagenarian,' viz., James Stonehouse. Liverpool, J. F. Hughes, 1863.

' Liverpool as it was during the Last Quarter of the Eighteenth Century, 1775-1800.' By Richard Brooke. Liverpool, Mawdsley, 1853.

' Liverpool Table Talk a Hundred Years Ago ; or, A History of Gore's Directory with Anec- dotes illustrative of the Period of its First Publica- tion in 1766.' By James Boardman. Liver- pool, Young. Issued first in 1856, and reprinted with additions in 1871.

' Liverpool and the Neighbourhood in y c Olden Time.' By John Thompson. Liverpool, W. Potter, 1894.

I think the little book inquired about must be one entitled ' Liverpool Table Talk a Hundred Years Ago,' by James Boardman, published in Liverpool "in 1871, though its pages only number 54. It contains a short account of the Sailors' Riot of August, 1775.

I remember a booklet of the kind BRAD- STOW inquires about that must have been published in the sixties about 1866 of last century. The exact title I forget perhaps ' Old Liverpool,' but certainly " by an Octo-

genarian." I believe, if my memory is= correct, it spoke of Paul Jones, and I rather think of Thurot, which would carry it back far beyond an octogenarian's memory, even with the * Concise Oxford Dictionary's r elastic meaning of the word.

LORD WELLESLEY'S ISSUE (11 S. vii. 24 9 r 330). The discrepancy between the state- ments of MR. PENGELLY and DR. MAGRATH does not seem to have been noticed. The former says that Richard, the Marquess's eldest son, was alive in 1846 ; the latter that he died 1 March, 1831. Again, MR. PEX- GELLY, following the ' D.N.B.,' says that the youngest son, Henry, Principal of New Inn "Hall, died at Oxford, unmarried, on 11 Jan., 1806 ; while DR. MAGRATH affirms- that " his second son, Richard Colley, was- at Christ Church, B.A. 1865." It is im- possible to reconcile these statements, but it ought not to be difficult to ascertain) which is true. I never saw Dr. Wellesley, although I was an undergraduate at the dates mentioned ; probably he was then too infirm to go abroad.

BRUTTON : THE EARL OF CARDIGAN (11 S. ix. 30, 198). Lord Cardigan is said in 'D.N.B.' to have been promoted to the rank of Major-General on 20 June, 1854. This, of course, removed him from the command of the llth Hussars, which he had held since 1836. Yet it is well known that he wore the uniform of that regiment in the his- toric charge at Balaclava. By what right ? He had not yet been made Colonel, I suppose..

General Sir R. White tells the story of a rebuke administered to him on this very- subject of uniform (I think in Temple Bar) t " My lord, I see that you are not dressed according to regulation." And on Cardigan replying that he had no cocked hat in the Crimea, the divisional general replied r. " Well, my lord, I have two, and I will send you one." E. L. H. TEW.

MOIRA JEWEL (11 S. viii. 489 ; ix. 33). W. B. H. gives an extract from a report of a centenary celebration in 1885, and I should be obliged if he would give the title of the publication or name of the Lodge referred to ; and also if any reader of 'N. & Q.' coulcf give other references to this jewel, or to- any subscribers to the jewel presentation fund. Is there any possibility of learning the name of the jeweller of the last Marquess of Hastings, and, through him or his suc- cessors, in what manner the stones were
