Dr. Bradley has been supplied with a reference to a membrane of the King's Remembrancer's Memoranda Roll of 1363, for this word. Careful examination of that COLONEL OWEN ROWE. What is known concerning the arms and descendants of this regicide ? I believe there has been some correspondence on the subject in 'N. & Q.,' but lack references. A precis of the in- membrane does not show the word. It may formation elicited would be welcomed, be that the reference was miscopied. I shall be glad if one of your correspon dents can supply any early reference to the word with a quotation. There are, no doubt, seyeralprintedinventoriesthat record the tools marjt ^ oulBf m uuf _ UJ uia _ yi _, oayo ol a smith s torge ; but I do not know where that Owen Howe was descended from Sir Thomas TRIUMVIR.

" AUSTER ' ' LAND TENURE. In a deed dated 1800, a house in this parish is described as ' all that Messuage and Tenement of Old arms I imagine to have been the regicide's. If so, he was a fourth son. Query, whose ? The Hackney Parish Register records, that on Nov. 6, 1655, Captain Henry Rowe was buried from Mr. Simon Corbet's, of Mare Street, Hackney. How was he related to Colonel Owen Rowe ? I should feel particularly obliged to any correspondent who could furnish me with his descent from Sir Thos. Rowe. " According to Mr. Lysons (Environs of London, vol. iv. p. 540) the daughter of Mr. Rowland Wilson, and widow of Dr. Crisp, married Colonel Rowe ; adding in a note, that he supposes this Colonel Rowe to have been Colonel Owen Rowe, the regicide. The same statement is found in s History of Kent (edit. 1778), vol. i., the regi Hasted' muster in the Manor of Yatton."

Charles Lamb and his sister for a time occupied lodgings in Russell Street, Covent Garden, where Will's Coffee-house formerly had stood. This street is by no means the same as Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury. Was Russell Street, Covent Garden ever correctly known as Great Russell Street ? The 'D.N.B.' and Ainger's 'Charles Lamb * in the ' English Men of Letters ' series both call the street Great Russell Street, Covent Garden, while the latter book uses both names ; and magazine and newspaper writers frequently repeat the error. It seems desirable that an important book of reference like the 'D.N.B.' should be correct on such a simple point. Cambridge, Mass- E.

At 10 S. i. 356, in reply to a short general query, reference is given to " The indictment, arraignment, tryal, and judgment at large of twenty-nine regicides, the murtherers of King Charles I begun at Hicks's-hall, 9th Oct., 1660, and continued at the Old Baily."
