and names them : Morris & Co., Wilson & Co., Cudahy Packing Co., Armour & Co., and Swift & Co.

The " Big Four " mentioned in Mr. Kennedy Jones's book, to which your corre- spondent refers, must have been simply a lapsus calami, as the original Congressional investigations included the five packers mentioned above. ALFRED FOWLER.

BISHOPS OF DROMORE. FIFTEENTH CEN- TURY (12 S. vi. 229, 261). Thomas, Lord Bishop of Dromore was instituted to the Rectory of Marsham, Norfolk, in October, 1461, resigning the vicarage of the adjoining parish of Aylsham in exchange. Possibly other occupants of the see held English benefices. A. T. M.

EVANS OF THE STRAND (12 S. vi. 252). Robert Harding Evans of Pall Mall, who died Apr. 25, 1857, was admitted to West- minster School, May 23, 1788. As no Charles Evans appears in the Admissions to the School I should be glad to know what evidence your correspondent has for thinking that he was ever there. Thomas Evans, born Sept. 8, 1804, was admitted July 17, 1815, and William Evans, born July 9, 1808, was admitted May 25, 1818. As the ad- missions of this date do not give the parent- age of the boys I should be glad to know whether your correspondent can identify them as the sons of R. H. Evans.

CLERGYMEN AT WATERLOO (12 S. vi. 39, 97). It appears very doubtful if the Rev. Wyndham Madden was at Waterloo probably not. In my father's book ' Lord Seaton's Regiment at Waterloo '- (vol. ii. p. 17), he refers to Mr. Madden as having " served with credit in the 43rd Light Infantry during the greater part of the Peninsular War and as having retired and taken orders."

Had Mr. Madden been at Waterloo I feel sure that my father would have mentioned the fact. S. LEEKE.

DAVID HUMPHREYS (12 S. vi. 149, 198, 217). David Humphreys was born at Derby, Connecticut, July 10, 1752, and died at New Haven, Conn., Feb. 21, 1818.

His great-grandfather, Michael Humphrey, an early settler of Windsor, Conn., was son of Samuel and Susanna Humphrey of Lyme (Dorset), and brother of Samuel Humphrey,

merchant, of St. Malo, Brittany. See

BULLS AND BEARS (12 S. vi. 249). J. R. H. agrees with the ' New English

the Stock Exchange use of the word " bear," and this, doubtless, is the last word on the subject. Neither, however, give any ex- planation of the tise of " bull " in the sense of " speculator for a rise." I had always supposed that the way in which the two animals deal with their enemies had supplied the contrast. The bear " hugs " its prey and so brings it " down " ; the bull by the use of his horns sends its prey " up," I do not think that I have seen this anywhere in

OLD STAINED GLASS (12 S. vi. 188, 231).

1. Whilst MR. DE COUTEUR kindly explains I the dispersal and present whereabouts of

some of the missing glass from Winchester,

i can no one tell me of any other instances

i where ancient glass exists, which is reputed

to have originally come from Winchester ?

MR. DE COUTEUR states that the glass at

Bradford Peverell was given to the rector

i in 1850, by his father Dr. Williams, Warden

[ of New College from 1840 to 1860. Is not

this a slight error for was not the glass

given to the Rector of Bradford Peverell by

his uncle the Warden of Winchester College ?

2. Can any member of the Shropshire or
 * Herefordshire Archaeological Society and

j the Woolhope Field Club explain on what j grounds certain particular- figures in the j Ludlow windows are claimed by Mr. I Weyman, in his ' Glass in Ludlow Church,' pp. 11 and 21, as having come from Win- chester (notably St. George and St. Bar- bara) all available evidence tending to prove otherwise.

3. Perhaps Mr. Beddoes the Shrewsbury archaeologist could help in tracing and in- vestigating any reputed glass from Win- chester in the Shrewsbury district ; and also in investigating the End (in what year ?) of Messrs. Betton & Evans, the Shrewsbury stained glass firm. Where were their works, and does a.ny catalogue exist of the sale of their effects, or any record of old glass acquired by or sold by them ? What became of their business and the books of the firm ?
