 12 s. ix. NOV. 5, 192L] NOTES AND QUERIES. 377 The rector of Portskewett was not nearly so prolific in literature as the Chancellor of Brecon, having only written one other book a sermon on Luke xix. entitled ' Zaccheus,' published in Bristol in 1770, and which could not possibly be by the Chancellor, who was only born in 1756. ARCHIBALD SPARKE. GEORGE WATESON. RECTOR OF MILL- BROOK (12 S. ix. 72,' 317). The following entry from Foster's ' Alum. Ox.' will prob- ably answer MR. CHAMBERS' s query : Berkeley, William, Gent. Brasenose Coll. : matric. 16 Nov. 1650; B.A. 16 Jan. 1650-1; M.A. 27 June, 1653 ; one of these names rector of Clophill, Beds, 1665. WM. ASHETON TONGE. HATCHMENTS (12 S. ix. 310, 337). I find in going through my notes that the last hatchment that I noticed was not Lady Rosebery's as mentioned previously but one in Grafton Street, London, W. This was in 1893, also of a lady. She was, according to the arms, a Cavendish -Ben - thick by birth. The arms of her husband I do not recollect. Surely many contri- butors who went about London, more than I did, at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century could give us instances of a much later date than 1893. These hatchments were not displayed only after the head of the family had died, as some seem to imagine, but in earlier days every member of an armigerous family was in this way mourned for, even children. W. DEL COURT. 47, Blenheim Crescent, W.ll. Those of us with retentive memories will recall how such tokens upon the fronts of London mansions were quite usual. One, for example, was displayed on the town residence of a deceased Duke, for many months, in Grosvenor Place. CECIL CLARKE. Junior Athenaeum Club. BURIAL-PLACES OF EMINENT SCIENTISTS (12 S. ix. 250, 315, 359).!. Rev. W. Buckland ; his monument of polished Aberdeen granite is in Islip churchyard. 12. Lord Avebury, died at Kingsgate Castle, Kent, and was buried in Farnborough churchyard. 13. Sir J. W. Dawson, died at Montreal and was probably buried there. J. ARDAGH. MULBERRIES (12 S. ix. 308, 337). Much information will be found in ' London Trees ' (A. D. Webster), 1920, pp. 79-83 ; " Gather- ing Mulberries in Finsbury Circus ' is the subject of the frontispiece. J. ARDAGH. SCHOOL MAGAZINES (12 S. viii. 325 ; ix. 54, 96, 175, 217, 238, 276). This early instance is verbatim from a bookseller's catalogue of 1863 : MACCLESFIELD. The Non-Descript [a Quaint College Magazine] by the Students of Macclesfleld, 12mo; pp. 190 ; Nos. 1 to 20, all that were ever published. Manchester printed, 1805. W. B. H. REPRINTS OF OLD NEWSPAPERS (12 S. ix. 209). An issue of those named was made some 25 years since by the Curio Publishing Co., 5, Hind Court, Fleet Street, and included, in facsimile, the Roll of Battle Abbey, Magna Charta, and the Death- warrant of Mary, Queen of Scots. There was no date of publication ; the cover was headed ' The Greatest Literary Curiosity of the Age,' and the price was one shilling. W. B. H. TUDOR TREVOR, EARL OF HEREFORD (12 S. ix. 290, 334). Will MRS. COPE be so kind as to say where I can obtain fuller information concerning the descend- ants of Tudor Trevor ? I particularly wish to trace the connexion with Trevor of Brynkinallt and Jeffreys (or Galfridus) of Acton. FAIRLEA. NAMING OF PUBLIC ROOMS IN INNS. (12 S. ix. 189, 231, 255, 274, 318). I stayed in September, 1907, at the County Hotel, Durham, and though I cannot now recall particulars I remember that the bedrooms were all named and our bills so made out. FAIRLEA. VIREMENT (12 S. ix. 208). This method of adjusting profit and loss accounts is doubtless one of the consequences that attended the conjoint financial system of the Entente, which came into effect after the opening of the war. The word itself is the French substantive of the verb virer, to turn, change. Littre explains, s.v. tlje terme de commerce, as " transport d'une dette active fait a une somme de pareille valeur" ; and terme de budget, which is the actual illustra- tion required by HIPPOCLIDES, as " virement de fonds, transport de fonds d'nn chapitre du budget sur un autre."
