NOTES AND QUERIES. [ 12 S.VI.APP.IL 10,19-20.

IS

error.

smallpox 1646, Elizabeth, m. Rev. Henry Sutton, rector of Bredon, and Sarah, m. Ven. William Hodges, Archdeacon of Worcester , probably about 1634 when her father relin- quished the vicarage of Bampton in favour of her husband, who had been a Fellow of Exeter since 1628. The Bishop's second wife Mary, dau. of Sir Thomas Reynell of Ogwell, co. Devon, who outlived him called widow of Dean Goodwin in The ' D.N.B.' says that Bishop Prideaux's first wife was " a grand -daughter of Dr. Taylor the Marian martyr." If so, was Marie Goodwin daughter of Dr. Rowland Taylor of Cambridge, Chancellor of London 1551, Archdeacon of Exeter 1552, who was degraded from the priesthood Feb. 4 and burned alive Feb. 9, 1554/5, on Aldham Common near Hadleigh ?

HAWKE'S FLAGSHIP IN 1759. In the account of Admiral Hawke's memorable victory in the Basque Roads in the above year the Rev. W. F. Fitchett states in his ' Deeds that Won the Empire,' p. 35, that the Admiral's flag was hoisted in the Royal George, the ship which afterwards foundered at Spithead (and was wrongly described by Cowper as overturned by the wind).

Other authorities state that Hawke's flag was flown on the Royal Sovereign.

Perhaps some naval reader will state if these were different vessels or if the original name of the ship was changed ? R. B.

" THE LAME DEMON." In ' Dombey and Son ' (in the seventh paragraph of ch. xlvii. ) Dickens speaks of " the lame demon in the tale." Another passage appears in Ruskin's ' On the Old Road : Fiction, Fair and Foul " Byron, lame demon as he was, flying smoke - drifted, unroofs the houses." These two passages obviously refer to the same tale. What is it ? REGINALD HOWON.

Owlstone Road, Cambridge.

PORTUGUESE EMBASSY CHAPEL. St. Mary's Catholic Church in Warwick Street, though in its present form subsequent to the Gordon Riots, was first built in 1730 for the Portuguese Embassy, and appears to have been transferred to the Bavarian Embassy in or before 1747. When David Garrick was married, June 22, 1749, the Portuguese Embassy Chapel was at 74 South Audley Street. In 1769 it appears to have been in Golden Square. When Vincent Novello was organist, 1797 to 1822, it was in South Street,

the street now known as Portugal Street, south of Lincoln's Inn Fields ?

When did the Portuguese Ambassador cease to have a chapel open to the public ?

Where can one find any account of the migrations of foreign embassies and legations in London ? JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

CELTIC PATRON SAINTS. Can any of your readers refer me to any lists either com- bined or separate of the early Welsh, Cornish, and Breton saints, whose names are perpetuated by the townships and villages of their respective countries ? By what means these saints were canonized is very obscure, and not less so the origin of the adoption of the saintly title by the townships.

L. G. R.

THE STATURE OF PEPYS. I find in Pascoe's ' No. 10 Downing Street, Whitehall,' published in 1908, Samuel Pepys called in three different places a "little man." have never seen any statement of the height of the famous Diarist, and I shall be much obliged if I can obtain information on that subject. CHARLES E. STRATTON.

70 State Street, Boston, Mass.

THE BASKETT BIBLE. It has been stated that a Mark Baskett Bible was printed clandestinely in Boston in 1752, with a London imprint, to avoid prosecution, and afterwards also in Boston in 1761, 1763,

1767, 1768, the titles being changed to work off unsold copies. I have the copy of

1768, which Boston antiquaries assert was really printed in Boston.

Can any one give the dates of Mark Baskett Bibles actually printed in London ? There were Thomas Baskett Bibles, London 1751-52 and Oxford in 1753, 1754, 1761 ; Mark Baskett, 1761-63. I find no record of a Mark Baskett in London in 1768. If there was none, then the edition of 1768

in Boston may after all have been printed in Boston. Who has a genuine London edition of 1768 ? HOWARD EDNELDS.

2026 Mount Vernon Street, Philadelphia.

HASTINGS FAMILY. What was the paren- tage of the Elizabeth Hastings referred to in the following particulars ?

Married at Kildysart, co. Clare, Jan. 22, 1711-12, Mr. John Ross-Lewin to Mrs. Elizabeth Hastings.

Nov. 6, 1712, George (Hastings) Ross- Lewin, son of John and Elizabeth, baptized.

An old MS. pedigree says Elizabeth was daughter of George Hastings, Esq., a near relative of the Earl of Huntingdon, and the

near South Audley Street. When was it in 1 portrait of a Lady Hastings, said to be her
