 12 s. vm. FEB. 6, 1921.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 109 ' WASH ' ( ' WASSH '), BLACKSMITH'S TOOL. 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 membrane does not show the word. It may 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, several printed inventories that record the tools f VU ' -L j.

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- formation elicited would be welcomed. TRIUMVIB. [We reproduce a query which appeared in 1 S. ix. 449 : " OWEN ROWE THE REGICIDE. " Mark Noble, in his Lives of the Regicides, says to find these. ROBT. J. WHITWELL. CRIPPLEGATE : DRAWINGS WANTED. In connexion with a history of the ward of Cripplegate in the City of London, which I am about completing, I should be glad to he&r of any original unpublished drawings of buildings, &c., of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. I have all those con- tained in the British Museum and the Guildhall Library. JOHN J. BADDELEY 32 Woodbury Down, N. CHARLES HOLLINGBERY was admitted to Vest minster School in September 1826, aged 13. I should be glad to obtain any iiformation about him. G. F. R. B. " AUSTER ' ' LAND TENURE. In a deed dated Rowe, Lord Mayor of London In 1568. In the Additional Manuscripts (British Museum), 6337, p. 52, is a coat in trick : Argent, on a chevron azure, three bezants between three trefoils per pale gules and vert, a martlet sable for difference ; crest, a roe's head couped gules, attired or, rising from a wreath ; and beneath is written, " Coll. Row, Coll. of hors and futt." These 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, lonrk T- JT i I ^uiuuei riruwt; IAJ u.*ve uccn ^uiuurr-jL v/wcij. j.n^wc, 00, a house in this parish is described as the regicide. The same statement is found in all that Messuage and Tenement of Old Auster in the Manor of Yatton." Can any oie explain the meaning of the term " Old Duster " which I understand has something t> do with a system of land tenure. Was Hasted's History of Kent (edit. 1778), vol. i., 181. I should be glad of some more certain information on this point ; also, what issue Owen Rowe left, if any, besides two daughters, whose marriages are recorded in the Hackney Register. I am likewise anxious to learn whether there t confined to Somerset ? In a neighbouring exist any lineal descendants . of this family of parish there is land formerly known as the -luster tenements. H. C. BARNARD. Yatton, Somerset. LAMB IN RUSSELL STREET.' 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. BASIL LuPTON. Rowe, which had its origin in Kent; and thence branching oft in the sixteenth century, settled and obtained large possessions in Shacklewell, Walthamstow, Low Layton, Higham Hill, and Muswell Hill. Through females, several of our nobility are descended from them. TEE BEE." 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 Hicks's-hall, 9th Oct., 1660, and continued at the Old Baily." London, 1739, 11 be found hi the Corporation Library, ] MAJOR- GENERAL THE HON. WILLIAM HERBERT, son of Thomas, 8th Earl of Pembroke, and father of Henry, 1st Earl of Carnarvon is stated by ' G. E. C. ' to have married Catherine Elizabeth Tewes, of Aix- la-Chapelle. Is it possible to trace the parentage of this lady ? P. D. M.
