 268 NOTES AND QUERIES. [i2s.vm. APRIL 2, 1021. a singular. Clearly, then, the editor, whether by a conscious joke or not, con- nected the word with the Danish at glo, anglice, " to glow" ('N.E.D.,' in voce 2 ) in the now apparently exclusively dialectal sense of "to stare." The substance of the present query is taken from a note by M[arius] K[ristensen] in the * Danske Studier,' Kobenhavn, 1907, p. 140. H. LOGEMAN. University of Ghent, Belgium. THOMAS BROOKS OF BATH. Can any of your readers tell me if Thomas Brooks, Esq., of Gay Street, parish of Walcot, Bath, who died there in 1838 vide Gentleman's Maga- zine is buried there, and if there is a monument or tombstone to him in any of the Bath churches ? He was eldest son of Robert Brooks of Kingham, Oxon ; a free- man of the City of London ; and obtained a frant of arms from Herald's College in 1786. or some time he lived in Chadlington, Oxon., which Manor he held in right of his second wife, Catherine, dau. of Windsor Sandys, Esq., of Miserden, Glos. and widow of William Bayntun, Esq., of Gray's Inn and Chadlington. E. ST. JOHN BROOKS. 122 Beaufort Mansions, Chelsea, S.W. WILLIAM CECIL, SECOND EARL OF EXETER. A note in the handwriting of Robert Beale (Yelverton MSS., 31,465) dealing with the year 1586 tells us that " The Bishop of Glasgow, the Scottish Q.'s Am- bassador in France, had written unto her how W. Cecill, son and heir to Sir Tho. Cecill, had been at Rome and reconciled." Did he remain a Catholic ? His only son, William, born in 1590, who succeeded his mother in 1591 as Lord de Roos, died a Catholic at Naples without issue, June 27, 1618, before his father's accession to the Earldom. By the Bishop of Glasgow is meant James Beaton, Archbishop of Glasgow, as to whom see the ' D.N.B.' JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT. SECOND BISHOP OF CARLISLE. Who was this person ? Bernard is so called, but he is disputed. Can any reader help me to solve this mystery? I. F. SUGAR HOUSES, LONDON. Amongst the Briefs and Collections made in St. Michael's Church, Torpenhow, Cumberland, is one showing that the sum of 3s. was collected on Nov. 17, 1672, for losses in the Sugar Houses, London. Where were these houses ? I. F. PAPER WATERMARK. Can any reader tell me the approximate date of paper water- marked with the letters I.H.S. having the word " Ivilledary " beneath. There is alsa a supplementary watermark of a crowned fleur-d-lis with the figure 4 and the letters L.V.G. beneath ? The paper appears to be laid paper of the eighteenth century. F. M. M. DEAN TOOGOOD was admitted to West- minster School 'in July, 1723, aged 12. I should be glad of any information concern- ing his parentage and career. G. F. R. B. ANDERSON FAMILY, BARONETS OF BROUGHTON. Stephen, the sixth son of Sir Edmund Anderson, created a baronet Dec. 11, 1660, married Mary, daughter of" Alderman Lukyn of Cambridge. I seek the- date of his birth and marriage, and the- names of his children, one of whom, I under- stand settled in Edinburgh. JAMES SETON-ANDERSON. 39 Carlisle Road, Hove, Sussex. " THE GOLDEN BALL, in Southampton Street, St. Giles's." This address is given in July ,U 700. Was it, or is it likely to have been, a ^tavern ? G. B. M. POLISH " EMIGRES " ON FRENCH PRI- VATEERS. I should be glad to know where I can obtain a detailed, if possible contem- porary, account of the capture of the French privateer Messalena, 6 guns, by H.M.S. Prometheus off Danzig, October, 1810. Were there any Polish emigres on board the- French vessel ? I should also like to hear whether there- are any recorded cases of French privateers or warships (captured or sunk, 17931814) carrying Poles either as passengers or crew. About this time, of course, large numbers of Poles entered Napoleon's army, and while I have heard of several who served on privateers or warships I have never been able to find anything very definite about them. LAURENCE M. WULCKO. 142 Kinfauns Road, Goodmayes, Essex. ' GIOVANNI SBOGARRO.' In 1830, accord- ing to ' The English Catalogue,' Baldwin published in two duodecimo volumes " Gio- vanni Sbogarro," a Venetian tale, translated from the French by Percival Gordon. Who- wrote the original ? Where can I see the- original which is not in the B.M. ? J. M. BULLOCH.. 37 Bedford Square.
