 12 s. viii. FEE, i2 s 1921.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 137 succeeded at St. David's in 1559, at Hars- berton in 1560, and in his two prebends at Exeter in 1561 and 1562 respectively. He was nephew to Henry Morgan, Bishop of St. David's, and is often called Philip Morgan (Wood's ' Fast.,' i. 105), under which name he occurs in S. P. Dom. Add. Eliz., 1 xi. 45, in which paper he is supposed to be in Herefordshire, but had probably already fled to Louvain. JOHN B. WATNTSWBIGHT. PIGUETJIT (CAESAB AND DANBY) (12 S. iv. 218). It seems probable that these are two descriptions of the same boy, as I find Caesar Danby Piguenit (not Pigueuit), a bookseller, living or carrying on business in 1774 in Berkeley Square (Westminster Poll Book) and in 1791 at 8 Aldgate (Directory). J. B. WHITMORE. PROBLEM OF VAGRANCY IN THE EIGH- TEENTH CENTURY (12 S. viii. 81). Denys Rolle's complaint that "the expenditure for removals and on litigation for settlements would suffice for a grea't deal more than the real wwits of the Poor " finds weighty support in Henry Fielding's ' Enquiry into the Causes of the late Increase of Robbers,' 1751, where, in section 6, he remarks : " The several Acts of Parliament relating to the settlement, or rather removal of the poor, though very imperfectly executed, are pretty generally known, the nation having paid some millions to Westminster Hall for a knov/ledge of them." J. P. DE C. SPENCER TURNER (12 S. viii. 91). Turner's oak (Quercus Turner i], reputed to be a hybrid between the evergreen ilex and the English oak, was. raised, says Mr. W. J. Bean of Kew, in Spencer Turner's nursery at Hollo way Down in the latter half of the eighteenth century. HERBERT MAXWELL. Monreith. MAUNDRELL'S JOURNEY FROM ALEPPO TO JERUSALEM, 'EASTER, 1697 (12 S. viii. 89). According to Brunet's 'Manuel': "L'Excellente relation du voyage d Henry Maundrell d'Aleppo a Jerusalem A.D. 1697, fut imprimee pour la premiere tois a Oxford tn. 1699, in 8 " H. KREBS. The first edition of this book was pub- lished at the Theater, Oxford, in 1703, and 3 followed by others in 1707, '14, '21, '32, '40, '49, 1800, '10, '11, '12, '47,, and '48 ; the third, fourth, and tenth editions, pub- lished in 1714, '21, and 1821 respectively, have additional journeys described, and the Travels ' have been included in collected editions such as Harris, Moore and Pinker- ton's Collections of Voyages and Travels. It is also completely reprinted in Bohn's collection of 'Early Travels in Palestine,' 1848. I can find no record of a ninth edition. ARCHIBALD SPARKE. NORTONS IN IRELAND (12 S. viii. 50). I think it probable that one of the Nortons of Southwick settled in Ireland. A cousin of theirs, Capt. John WMtehead, third son of Col. Richard Whitehead of West Tytherley, Hants, was living in Wicklow in 1688, and it is possible that he went over to Ireland in company with Norton relations. Both families were staunch Parliamentarians, the Whiteheads certainly up to the date of the Seclusion. If your correspondent were to trace the Whiteheads in Wicklow, he might obtain some information as to Nortons, and I should be glad to hear from him thereon. I suppose he is aware that the large estates of the Nortons of Southwick devolved upon the Whiteheads of Tytherley, on the death of the last Rd. Norton. BENJAMIN WHITEHEAD. 2 Brick Court, Temple, E.C.4. WILLIAM HOLDER (12 S. viii. 90). There is a tablet in the parish church of St. James in the Island of Barbados, recording the deaths of the " Hon William Holder, li Aug., 1706, aged 48 ; Mrs. Susanna his wife, 12 March, 1725, aged 57 ; William their grandson, 14 Aug., 1752, aged 31 ; who were all buried at the family estate of Black- rock." The vault may be still seen in a cane piece near the house, and on the white marble slab is an inscription as above, but with the addition of " Mrs. Eliz., wife of above William., died in England, 19 June, 1783, buried at Hinton in Somersetshire." It is obvious that the grandson was the Westminster boy. In his will dated Aug. 13, 1752, sworn Oct. 17, 1752, and proved Feb. 1, 1753 [P.C.C. 47 Searle] he named his mother Mary Ashley, his wife Eliz., and devised Hillaby plantation to his son William, and Blackrock to his son James, both sons to be sent to England at the age of nine. They were accordingly entered at Eton in 1759 and later at Oxford. Elizabeth the widow died in King Square, Bristol. Will [359 Cornwallis]. In the churchyard of the parish of St. Philip, Barbados, is a slab with a Jacobean shield bearing crest :
