NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. in. MARCH 3, 1917.

Britain ' (W. O. 17/854), we learn that ' from " Jan. 1, 1773, to Mar. 1, 1773, the Head-Quarters of the 4th Foot, Hodgson's, was at Dumfries." At the date of this Return the strength of the regiment is given as " Officers present, 15 ; staff, 4 ; sergeants, 9 ; effectives rank and file, 367." Capts. Webster and West and Lieuts. Gould and Iveson were " recruiting " ; and Ensign Pull en was " gone to Eng d to conduct Recruits to the Regiment."

If, therefore, James Winton was correct in supposing that his father was in " an English Regiment quartered at Dumfries " at the time of his birth, it would appear that Philip Winton must have served in the 4th Foot. The other regiments then in Scotland were the 15th Foot, at Glasgow ; the 17th, at Aberdeen ; the 22nd, at Fort George ; and the 37th, at Edinburgh. The 43rd Foot (Col. Gary's) was at Fort William Jan. 1 to March, 1773, at Dumfries from July to October, 1773, and also fought in the" North American War ; so that it is possible that Philip Winton may have served in that regiment, though I think that James Winton could hardly have been mistaken as to where his father's regiment was stationed at the time of his birth.

I mention these additional details in the hope that W. R. W., or some other authority on Army records, may be able and willing to assist me in solving the problem, or at least may suggest some clue to the pro- venance of Philip Winton (alias Seton).

BISHOP OF SORRON (12 S. iii. 109). Ac- cording to the late Bishop Stubbs, this bishop appears to have been John Sewale " Surronensis," appointed by bull, July 20, 1397. He had general licence of non- residence, &c., from the Pope, Oct. 28, 1399 (Reg. Arandel). He was suffragan of Winchester, 1417-18 ; London, 1417-23 ; St. Edmund's, 1414 ; Sarum, 1420-26 ; St. David's, 1405. This name is spelt Sur- renensis and Cironensis. He was, perhaps, Bishop of Cyrene. T. CRAIB.

FROM LIVERPOOL TO WORCESTER A CEN- TURY AND A HALF AGO (12 S. iii. 21, 63, 89, 106, 133). At p. 106, Worcester Cathedral. The width of the nave is 78 feet, but the entire interior length is at present 387 feet, and the height of the nave 68 feet. For the Chapel of King Arthur (sic) read the Chantry Chapel of Arthur, Prince of Wales. The tomb of King John was opened in 1797, as described by Valentine Green.

The third window, from the west, of the north aisle of the nave is half-blocked up by the recessed monument to John Moore, Ann his wife, and their four children (1613) ; in the south aisle is a table tomb to the memory of Robert Wylde (d. 1608) and his wife. The tomb ascribed to an Earl and Coun. of Salisbury appears to belong to some one- else. Bishop Isaac Madox (1743-59) was buried in the Lady Chapel ; and his monu- ment in the transept is described in ' The Beauties of England and Wales ' (1814), vol. xv. p. 68. In the north transept is the monument by Roubiliac to Bishop Hough (not Rough), who, as President of Magdalen College, Oxford, was bullied by James II.

The following are a few additional notes and emendations :

Friday, Oct. 11 (ante, p. 21). "The Seat E. of Derby " is, of course, Knowsley. For " Stranggar " read " Strangers."

Monday, Oct. 14 (ante, p. 22). " Maim " should be " Mere " probably spelt " Meare." The 1 " very large noble brick House " was Toft or Tabley, a seat of the Leicesters.

Wednesday, Oct. 16 (ante, p, 23). The " Forest " alluded to is the Delamere forest.
