" THE BALL AND MOUTH " (12 S. x. 168). MB. FBASEB BADDELEY'S query is based upon the assumption that in my new volumes of ' Byron Correspondence ' the words " ball and mouth " occur on p. 73. But the actual words in the book are " bull and mouth," and where he got the word " ball " from I cannot understand. It is always wise to verify one's references. JOHN MUBBAY. EBGHUM (72 S. x. 9, 55, 99, 136, 172). The following clerical names of Erghum, from the ' Consolidated Index ' of the Clerical Index Society, may be of some assistance to your querist : John de Erghum, was Rector of Bossall, Yorks, from July 1, 1317, to his death in 1359. John de Erghum, was Vicar of Huntington, Yorks, from August 20, 1369, to some time in 13 7-. John de Erghum (perhaps same as last), was Chaplain of Wandesford's Chantry in Holy Trinity Church, Goodramgate, York, from some time in 137- to his death in 1376. Ralph de Erghum was Prebendary of Decem Librarum in Lincoln Cathedral from May, 1331 (at latest), to his death in 1360, and Master of the Choristers at Lincoln from April 8, 1352, to his death. Ralph de Erghum was Rector of Winestead, Yorks, from Oct. 3, 1354, to Nov. 25, 1354.

Richard de Erghum was Prebendary of Ulleskelf in York Minster from June 5, 1322, to the year 1338, and Rector of Broughton in Pickering Lythe, Yorks, to about the same date, when he died.

J. W. F. ABMSTBONG (12 S. x. 48). Was either John Armstrong, B.A., vicar of Tidenham, Gloucestershire, from 1845 to after 1853, or John Armstrong, Perpetual Curate of Wallsend, Northumberland, from 1830 to after same date, the same as the John Armstrong of St. John's College, Cambridge, named in the above reference, or were they any connexions ? J. W. FAWCETT. FBEEDOM OF A CITY (12 S. ix. 489; x. 55, 97, 118). Lt.-Col. Fishwick, in his ' History of the Parish of Preston,' states : From an order made by the Corporation in 1724 it appears that from " time out of mind whereof the memory of man is not to the contrary, " the Mayor for the time being had always the right to bestow the freedom of the borough upon three persons and no more, unless in the case of " nobility and other persons of honour and distinction " ; but it was complained that some attempt had been lately made to infringe the " said immemorial custom," by the Mayor's assuming the liberty of giving the freedom to more than three persons ; and it was therefore ordered that " all such persons as shall be made free by the Mayor above that number (except noble persons, &c.) shall be immediately struck out of the Rolls, reserving to the Common Council the ancient right of conferring which free- dom they think fit. (Council Minute Book.) FBEDEBIC CBOOKS. ABAB (OB EASTEBN) HOBSES (12 S. x. 91, 138, 154, 198). The note I wrote appearing at ante, p. 154, was forwarded before SIB WILLOUGFIBY HAYCOCK'S initial reply ap- peared. It was written hastily and I evi- dently perpetuated the mistake of earlier Turf chroniclers. The letter I quoted perhaps gives some little evidence that Sir John Fenwick was concerned with Eastern horses. Black, in ' The Jockey Club and its Founders,' dates Sir J. F. as being pro- minent and active temp. James I. and Charles I. If the date of the death of the Sir J. F. in question is correct as given in the
