"MARRIAGE" AS SURNAME (US. viii. 287, 336, 378, 457; ix. 14). The name of Mariage' frequently occurs in the registers of the French Churches of Canterbury and Threadiieedle Street at earlier dates than 1657. At Threadneedle Street, 1637, is the following announcement of marriage : " Bodouin Mariage, filz de Toussain, natif d'Anuers, et Alexandrine Bernard, vefue de feu Augustin Gous [in another entry spelt Goos], natieu de Pihen les Calais. Mars 26. 11 Avril, 1637."

Same register, 1639 :

"Charles Mariage, filz de feu Piere, natif de 1'Isle en Flandres, et Judith, fille de feu Nicolas Capon, natieu de Cantorberri. Mars 30, 1639."

Same register, 1607, occurs the birth of "Moyse Mariage, iils de Jehan M. et de sa femme Susanne Fournie. Mars 22, 1607."

Same register, 1638, the birth of

" Marie Mariage, fille de Badouin M. Mars 25, ]638."

There are also numerous entries where members of the family were witnesses for births and marriages.

Boduin Mariage appears to have previously- resided at Canterbury, for in 1632 and 1633 his name occurs as witness to baptisms.

Members of the family lived in the neigh- bourhood of Guisnes, the name occurring frequently in the register of that church as witnesses to births, marriages, and deaths between 1671 and 1680.

At a later date 1693 and onwards the name is found in the register of the French Church of St. Patrick and St. Mary, Dublin^ where are 'entries of the deaths of the children of Pierre Mariage, " ouvrier en soye," and Elizabeth Askison his wife

In the ' Livre de Temoignages de 1'Eglise de Threadneedle Street J are the names of

" Estienne Mariage. 24 Sept., 1671."

" Jaques Mariage : fils de leu Estienne : 20 ana. 24 Sept., 1701."

HEART -BURIAL (US. viii. 289, 336, 352 r 391, 432, 493 ; ix. 38). There is a section on this subject inT. F. Thiselton Dyer's ' Church Lore Gleanings,' 1891, pp. 130-35. I cannot say that there is anything additional to what has appeared in ' N. & Q.' In The Church Monthly, March, 1912, there is an illustration of the Leybourne double casket one said to- be intended for the heart of the wife of Sir Thomas de Leybourne, but never used.

The will of Myles Salley, Bishop of Llandaff, dated 29 Nov., 1516 (P.C.C. Holder 26), contains the following provision :

"To be buried in the north side of our lady chapell before the image of St. Andrewe at the Gauntes of Bristoll ; my hart and bowelles at the high aulter in the church of Martharn before St. Theodoryk."

The episcopal palace was at Mathern, co. Monmouth. F. S. HOCKADAY.

DICKENS IN LONDON (11 S. ix. 9, 58). The following passage from Sala's ' Charles Dickens 'may probably be what MR. ARDAGH has in mind. After alluding to the rare occasions on which Dickens was seen in Pall Mall, although a member of the Athe- naeum Club, Sala wrote :

"Elsewhere he would make his appearance in the oddest places and in the most inclement weather: In Ratcliff Highway, on Haverstock Hill, on Camberwell Green, in Gray's Inn Lane, in the Wandsworth Road, at Hammersmith Broadway, in Norton Folgate, and at Kensal New Town.
