 250 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s.ix. SEPT. 24, 1921. I read the following paragraph in The Daily Mail of September 9 : MONASTERY WINE MYSTERY. Mystery sur- rounds an old monastery near South Lea Farm , Datchet. The greater part was pulled down some years ago and fire destroyed a good deal of the remainder. There are several deep wells, and it is said that at the bottom of one there are 3,000 bottles of wine placed there by the monks, -but an attempt to find them has failed. Under the ruins there are a large number of earthenware bottles of a quaint pattern and there is a legend that a subway leads from the monastery to Burn- ham Abbey. Now as Edward Jesse mentions " an underground passage leading from King John's Hunting Lodge towards Windsor Castle " and " the discovery in the passage of some very early specimens of English pottery" it occurs to me that the ruined monastery of The Daily Mail and King John's Hunting Lodge may be identical. I shall be glad of information on the subject. J. B. TWYCBOSS. THE INDEX LIBBOBUM PROHIBITOBTJM. Is Dante's ' De Monarchia ' still on the Index ? Are books placed on the Index retained there for all time ? If that is not so, on what occasions are books removed from it ? What reasons for doing so might be assigned, and how would permission to read such works be promulgated among the faithful ? Instances would be very accept- able. I have in mind ancient works which might be presumed to be no longer dan- gerous, owing to changes of thought or the progress of science. PEBEGBINUS. BEBNABD CAPES : INSCBIPTION AT WIN- CHESTEB.
