EDMUND HARGATT, WINCHESTER SCHO- LAR. Mr. David Lewis at p. xxxiv of his Introduction to his translation of Dr. Nicholas Pander's ' Rise and Growth of the Anglican Schism' (London, 1877) writes as follow * :

" The very reverend M. A. Tierney, canon penitentiary of Southwark, showed to the present writer a copy of Cardinal Pole's book, ' Pro Ecclesiasticse Unitatis Defensio[ne],' in which a former possessor had written on the margin of p. Ixxvii as follows :

' ' Audivi dixisse hoc aliquando ducissam Somerset ensem, et hodie fama est, Annam ipsam non Thomse Bulleni fuisse filiam seel ipsius Henrici 8 vi, qui illam ex Bxilleni uxore, dum vir peregre esset, generasset. Eaque ipsa de re regem a Bulleno admonitum antequam rex Annam duxisset, sed frustra.'

" This book had been the property of the reverend Edmund Hargatt, February 1, 1561, and Mr. Tierney's belief was that the note was in the handwriting of the then owner, who was a priest driven out of the country because of the change of religion."

Mr. Lewis adds in a note :

" Among the priests who had taken refuge abroad mentioned by Sander (' De Visibili Monarchia Ecclesiffi,' p. 672 n., 1736, ed. Wirceburg) is Edmundus Hargattus."

Canon Tiorney died 19 Feb., 1862. Mr. Lewis died in 1895. Where is this book now ?

Edmund Hargatt, after serving as a Querister at New College, Oxford, about February, 1534/5 (Holgat^ and Chitty. 'Winchester Long Rolls, 1723-1812,' Win- Chester, 1904, p. 332), entered Winchester College from Padbury, Buckinghamshire, aged 13, and was Fellow of New College 1543-53 (Kirby, ' Winchester Scholars,' p. 120). He obtained the Vicarage of Writtle, Essex, in 1553, and in December of that year was ordained Ostiary in London, being then M.A. (Frere, ' Marian Reaction,' p. 261 ). He became a Fellow of Eton College in 1554, and B.D. in 1556. He was at Louvain 1575 (' S.P. Dom., Eliz.,' cv. 10). His name occurs in the ' Concertatio Eccle- sise,' and he was probably living somewhere abroad in 1588.

Any further particulars about Edmund Hargatt, and especially the date and place of his death, would be welcome.

JOHN B. WAINE WRIGHT.

SIR RICHARD DRAKE HENEGAN, KT. OF THE HANOVERIAN OR GUELPHIC ORDER. Wanted, the date and place of his death. He had served in the Peninsular War as Commissary in the Field Train Department of the Ordnance, and was living in 1846.

1. JOHN LINDSAY CRAWFURD. Can any of your readers tell me if there is a portrait of John Lindsay Crawfurd, who put forth a claim to the titles and estate of Crawfurd and Lindsay in 1812, and was sentenced to fourteen years' transportation ?

2.' JAMES GEORGE SEMPLE. I should be glad to have lists of books dealing with James George Semple alias Lord Lisle, a native of Irvine a notorious adventurer, transported for fraud in 1795. R. M. HOGG.

Irvine, Ayrshire.

REPERTORY THEATRE. In view of the proposed formation of such a theatre it would be interesting to draw up a list of, say, the twelve best plays (excluding Shake- speare) which have not been acted publicly in London during the last half -century. S.

BRITISH REGIMENTAL HISTORY. Where cari I find a bibliography of this subject ? I am interested in the history of the various Scotch regiments that served in the French and Indian, and Revolutionary wars ; par- ticularly the history of the Black Watch and Frasers Highlanders (71st).

JOHN L. STEWART.

South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

[For the 71st see 11 S. viii. 354, 397, 434.]

MAJOR-GENERAL PATRICK DUFF, of the Hon. East India Company's Artillery (Bengal). Wanted, the date and place of his death. He appears in the ' Army List ' of 1802 as a Major- General having local rank in the East Indies. His portrait was painted by G. Romney, and an engrav- ing of it by C. H. Hodges was published in 1791. J. H. LESLIE.

AUTHOR OF PLAY WANTED. Who wrote the play ' The Puritan ; or, The Widow of Watling Street ' ? QUILL.

CENTENARY OF THE CIGAR. The following cutting from The Daily Mail of 7 January may, I hope, lead to further information on the subject. When was the cigar first intro- duced into English literature ?

" A great many centenaries were celebrated in Paris in 1913, but one was overlooked, that of the cigar. After having been smoked a long time in Spain, where it had been introduced from Mexico, it was brought to France in 1813. The dictionary of the Academic, in speaking of the cigar for the first time, gave the following quaint definition : a pipe.' The fact that the first cigars put in their appearance in Paris towards 1813 is proved by some lines in ' L'Hermite de la Chaussee d'Antin,' which say that when the hermit went to lecture his nephew, a young officer in Paris, he found him in a dressing-gown, smoking ' a sort of roll of
