THOMAS HAVARD (OB HAWARD), LL.B., was appointed Vicar of Llandilo Vawr, Carmarthenshire, in 1554, and was deprived in 1559 (Gee, ' Elizabethan Clergv,' pp. 258, 283). In a letter from Scory, the Bishop of Hereford, to Cecil, dated Aug. 17, 1561, we read that Walter Mugge (formerly Prebendary of Exeter), John Blax- toii (formerly Archdeacon of Brecknock, Treasurer of Exeter, Prebendary of Salisbury and Incumbent of Bracton, Worcestershire), Thomas Arden (formerly Prebendary of York, Worcester and Hereford), Friar Gregory Basset, B.D. (formerly Vicar of Sowton, Devon, and sometime one of the Oxford Franciscans), William Ely (Presi- dent of St. John's College, Oxford), and Havarde had been in the city of Hereford, and there had been " so maintained, feasted and magnified, with bringing them through the streets with torchlight in the winter, that they could not much more reverently have entertained Christ Himself " (Gee, p. 161). In August, 1562, " Philip Morgan [i.e., Morgan Philips], late of Oxford; John [i.e., Thomas] Arden, late Prebendary of Worces- ter ; 'Friar Gregory, alias Gregory Basset, a common Mass sayer ; one Ely, late Master of St. John's College in Oxford ; one Havarde, late chaplain to Mres. Claurenciaulx " were said to be " supported in Herefordshire," but on Sept. 8, 1562, Havarde was arrested for saying Mass in Lady Carew's house in Fetter Lane, London, and was brought before the Lord Mayor, who committed him to the Counter and thence to the Marshalsea, while " My Ladi Carew and Mysteris Sack- filde " were sent to the Fleet. On Sept. 13 the Bishops of London and Ely suggest that Havarde " should be put to some torment and so drawn to confess what he knoweth " (Machyn's 'Diary,' pp. 291, 292; Cath. R'ec. Soc., L, p. 49 ; HatfieldMSS., i., n. 865 ; Haynes, * Burghley State Papers,' p. 395). %i Mres. Claurenciaulx " was Susan, daughter of Richard White of Hutton, in Essex, and widow of Thomas Tonge (Clarencieux). She was Queen Mary's favourite lady-in- waiting, was with her at her death, and eventually was allowed to leave England with Lady Jane Dormer (Noble, ' College of Arms/ p. 116; Madden, 'Privy Purse Expenses of Princess Mary,' p. 222 ; Gal. S.P. Span., 1558-67, pp. 106, 109-10, 111, 133 ; S.P. Dom. Mary, xiv. 8 ; S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz., ix. 31, 43, 55). In October, 1564, Scory complained, there be also in this diocese and county of Hereford divers fostered and maintained that be judged and esteemed some of them to be learned, which in Queen Mary's days had livings and offices in the Church, which be mortal and deadly enemies to this religion. Their names be Blaxton, Mugge, Arden, Ely, Friar Gregory, Howard, Bestall of Gloucester, Johnson, Menevar, Oswald, Hamerson, Ledbury, and certain others whose names I know not. These go from one gentle- man's house to another, where they know to be welcome (Gee, p. 200). " Howard " is, of course, Havarde. There can be no doubt that he was a relative to Thomas Havard of Hereford, a J.P. and member of the City Council, of whom Scory. records that he by common fame is a daily drunkard, rpceiver and maintainer of the enemies of religion, a maintainer of superstition and namely of abro- gated holy days. He useth to pray upon a Latin primer full of superstitions. His wife and maidens used beads 'and to be short he is a mortal enemy to Christian religion (Camden Misc., ix., ' Letters to the PrivylCouncil," pp.jlS, 14, 15, 19). He refused to subscribe to the Act of Uniformity, Nov. 19, 1569. Thomas " Heyward " was arrested for saying Mass in Lady Browne's house in Cow Lane, London, on Palm Sunday, April 4, 1574, as Stowe relates, and was released from prison on the following Aug. 26 (Dasent, ' Acts of the Privy Council,' viii. 287). JOHN B. WAINEWRTC4HT. " SYMMES'S HOLE." Captain John Cleves Symmes (1780-1829) in the year 1818 propounded his odd theory of a central passage or tunnel through the earth. This notion attracted much attention in the United States. (See my 'American Glos- sary '; also The Atlantic Monthly for April 1873.) But it was not then new. The 1669 edition of Donne's ' Poems,' at pp, 398-401, contains a satirical ' Catalogue Librorum,' in which I find this : "29. De Gurgite diametrali a Polo ad Polum, per
