 12 s. vm. JAN. i, i92i.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 11 the second table was published and dis cussed by Signor Cattaneo in the Resocont delle riunioni delV Associazione Mineraria Sarda (Anno XH.). As I am unable to -consult either of these foreign periodicals A-ill some kind reader tell me whether 1 can find anything about these tables in an English publication. L. L. K. MR. JOHN DENTON, "Rector of Stone- grave in Yorks, and Prebendary of York ' so styled on the gravestone of his daughter Mrs. Hellen Cock (widow of William Cock, mercer, of Kendall, Westmorland) who died Jan. 12, 1762, aged 81. No John Denton occurs as Prebendary of York in Le Neve's list gives Robert Denton, M.A., of Catherine Hall, Camb, as rector from May 27, 1700, to his death June 1, 1747. Is the inscription in error ? J. W. F. SCOTT OF ESSEX. (See 7 S. vi. 194). At this reference C. GOLDING of Colchester mentions a MS. pedigree of the Scott family of Glemsford, co. Suffolk, in his possession. I should like to learn of the present where- abouts of this MS. C. B. A. BEVERLEY WHITING, son of Henry Whit- ing of Virginia matriculated at Oxford TTniversity from Ch. Ch. in 1722. Can any American correspondent of ' N. & Q.' give me further particulars of this man ? G. F. R. B. BRONCIVIMONT BEER. In his 'Travels Tavernier, writing of Batavia, says, " one must pay 40 sols for a pint of beer, whether English or of Broncivimont. " Where was this beer brewed, and what was its peculia- rity ? EMERITUS. SAVERY FAMILY OF MARLBOROUGH, WILTS. I should be very grateful for information respecting Martha, the wife of Servington Savery, M.D., of Marlborough, who died in 1096, aged 34. What was her maiden name ? She is buried at St. Peter's Church, Marlborough, and her arms impaled with those of her husband on the monument in the church (tinctures not expressed, the colours being probably worn away), are a chevron between three crosses moline, two and one. I should also be glad to know the maiden name of Mary, the wife of the Rev. Serving- ton Savery, A.M., of St. John's College, Oxford, only grandson of the above Serving- ton Savery, M.D. She died Dec. 23, 1766, aged 51, and is buried with her husband at St. Peter's Church and to whom there was originally a brass on the floor of the chancel which disappeared at the restoration of the church in 1864. LEONARD C. PRICE. 'THE WESTERN MISCELLANY,' 1775 AND 1776. There has just recently come into my hand a volume in old binding, appar- ently co-eval with or circa the above date, the contents of which are pp. 541-660, with title-page and index of vol. v. of TheWestern Miscellany, pp. 25-648 of vol. vi., and the first weekly part of vol. vii., viz., for Monday, Oct. 7, 1776, pp. 1-24, printed at Sherborne, by R. Goadby. The contents are of a miscellaneous character and a feature was the provision weekly of two to four pages of Enigmas, Rebuses, Mathematical, Algebraic and As- tronomical problems, nearly all both as questions and solutions, being versified and contributed by persons residing in the west, from Cornwall upwards. Can your readers oblige with particulars of its continuance after 1776, the names of its editors, &c. W. S. B. H. HAMBLY HOUSE, STREATHAM. A 12mo Book of Common Prayer, 1823, has inside its front cover a label of crimson leather lettered in gold : " This prize book was adjudged to Master T. H. Davison who was first in the 4th class in the examination at Hambly House, Streatham, June 16, 1827." Was the house named a well-known academy, and where in Streatham was it situated ? W. B. H. "BARONS." In proceedings for trespass brought by John Payne against John Arthur it was alleged that the latter on Nov. 30, 1491, by force and arms, namely with sticks and knives fished in the. several (i.e., private) fishery of John Payne at Weston-super-Mare and took and carried away 100 horse-loads of fish called "barons," 400 fish called "tubbelyns," 300 " haddokkes," and 200 ''whitynges," and inflicted other enormities bo his serious injury. "Tubbelyns" we know, for young cod are still known by that name, here, on the shore of the Severn Sea, and haddock we snow, and whiting we know, but we are sorely and sadly puzzled about " barons ": nany dictionaries we have searched in vain, and local inquiries have produced no results. Evidently they were a small fish, too small to be counted separately like cod, haddock
