CANTRELL FAMILY (12 S. v. 291, 332). It is hardly correct to say that there is a unonument in St. Peter's Church, Derby, in memory of the Rev. Thomas Cantrell 'There once was such a monument, the in- scription on which is given bv Glover in his ' History of Derby ' (p. 518) :

" Reliquiae Thomse Cantrelli : A. M. Scholaichse

Derbiensis.

Reader here lies the dust, deny't who ran,

Of a learned, faithful, and well-natur'd man.' The stone bearing this inscription was

originally placed on the floor at the west end of the " middle " aisle of St. Peter's.

But the treading of many feet and various -restorations of the church have worn it away or caused it to be broken up, and it has -been non-existent for half a century or more. 'The following is extracted from the Register

of Burials at St. Peter's :

"1697/8. Sepult. Thomas Cantrlll Scholar: che Darb. 23 ti8 die mensis Mart."

Taehella in ' The Derby School Register ' gives the following Cantrells (in addition to 'the above) :

BURIAL AT SEA : FOUR GUNS FIRED FOR AN OFFICER (12 S. v. 38, 106). With reference to SIR RICHARD TEMPLE'S query and the REV. A. G. KEALY'S interesting notes on the subject, I have recently found other in- stances of the use of an even number of guns for burials at sea and also on land.

On Sept. 29, 1702, Daniel Du Bois, merchant at Fort St. Geroge, Madras, was " interr'd with honours, 3 volleys and 12 great guns " (' Factory Records, Fort St. George,' vol. xii.-).

On July 16 Capt. Wyatt was buried at Fort St. George " A Company of Soldiers marcht before the Corbs [sic], which when buryed, fired three Volleys, and the Garrison fired six great gunns " ('Factory Records, Fort St. George,' vol. xiii.).

On Jan. 29, 1705, at the burial of Capt. Henry Sinclare, second-lieutenant of the Fort Soldiers in the Garrison of Fort St. George, " twelve Great Gunns " were " discharged " (' Madras Public Proceedings,' vol. Ixxxiii.).

On Mar. 19, 1709/10, the Log of the Tavistock has the following entry : " Yester- day in the afternoon we buried Mr. Mildmay, hoisting our Coullers half mast and fired 12 Guns, the Wentworth doeing the same and fired 8 Guns" ('Marine Records,' vol. dxciii.b).

The funeral of Capt. John Slade, who died at sea on June 2, 1636, was an exception to the rule of firing an even number of guns. He was buried " with a salute of fifteen guns and three volleys of small shot " (Foster, ' English Factories,' 1634-36, p. 305).

CAPT. B. GRANT (12 S. v. 238, 298). There was in 1808 a Brodie Grant, captain 95th Foot from Sept. 28, 1804 ; but he left the army before 1811. MR. PIERPOINT has done good service in supplying the clue that Bernard and Charles Grant both fought in the anks at Waterloo. Hart's ' New Annual Army Lists ' (evidently the source of Dalton's nformation) say that : " Quarter-Master Bernard Grant served the campaign of 1815, ncluding the battle of Waterloo and capture f Paris." The ' (Official Annual) Army Ast ' for 1853/4 gives the further detail that e was placed on half -pay of Q.M. 82nd Foot n Feb. 11, 1848, and the same authority for 1857/8 (dated April 1, 1857) places "him under the wrong initial of " R. Grant, Q.M. on h.p. 82 F.") under the heading Casualties ' in the list of ' Deaths since the <ast Publication.' As Hart, 1857 (corrected o Dec. 29, 1856), contains his name, he
