NOTES AND QUERIES.

4433.), it is mentioned among the prints executed by Pierre Lombart, " engraver, born in Paris 1613; died in the same city, 1682. From The Navorscher. J. SCOTT.

John Locke (1 st S. xi. 326, 327.) I have lately had occasion to make further inquiries re- specting the Locke family, and hasten to correct two mistakes which I have made as above.

In p. 326. I stated that " Christopher, the se- cond son of Michael Locke, was buried at East Brent, co. Somerset, March 12, 1607." This date applies to the interment of Christopher (one of the sons of the eldest son, Matthew), who died young and unmarried.

In p. 327., after " Sir Peter King, the Chan- cellor, and Peter Stratton, were the children of the two sisters, who were, as I have shown," the words "first-cousins" should have been used in- stead of " nieces " of the philosopher. II. C. C.

" William Fillingham, Esq. (2 nd S. i. 55, 56.) In a note on p. 91. of the fourth volume of Bestituta, Mr. T. Park says that

" Mr. Filliogham was well known to several persons of literary distinction, as an assiduous collector of choice books, as a liberal employer of them, and as a very amiable man. The copious Index to Warton's History of English Poetry, was undertaken and completed by him. In the year 1805, his select library was publicly disposed of, before his departure to India; whence, like too many of his lamented countrymen, he returned to his native land no more ! "

Romney Marsh (1 st S. xii. 347.) MR. GIL- BERT may be interested in knowing that a copy (written in the fifteenth century) of the Ordi- nances of Justices Lodelow, Belknappe, and Cul- peper, in 1352 (of which a translation is printed in Dugdale's History of Imbanking, p. 31.), exists in Rawl. MS., A. 357., Bodleian Library.

Archbishop Law, of Glasgow (2 nd S. i. 56.) I have consulted the works of some of our best Glasgow historians, but they are all extremely barren in genealogical particulars of this prelate and of his connections. On showing MR. LEE'S Note to the Warden of the Glasgow Cathedral (who is an intelligent and obliging gentleman), he thinks that in several points MR. LEE is altogether on the wrong family, and refers for accurate in- formation, according to a memorandum given to him, as follows :

"January, 185C. Visited the tomb of Archbishop Law, his descendant, James Law, W.S., of 44. Parliament Street, Westminster."

Archbishop Law's is now the only stone tomb

in the cathedral. The hewn work of it is gene- rally in a good state of preservation ; but the main inscription on the large tablet is nearly clean gone, which, however, has been printed by our historians. It rather closes up a window at the east end of the chancel, and disfigures the latter, and for these causes Government proposed to re- move it ; but it is now understood that it will remain-, and the tablet inscription be renewed.

From all accounts he was a very worthy and learned prelate, and " completed the leaden roof of the cathedral." (Gibson's Hist, of Glasgow, 1777.) He died Nov. 12, 1632, and 'bequeathed the following legacies :

" Item. I leave to the puir of Sanct Nicholas Hospitall, in Glasgow, foundit by the Archibischopis thairof, the sowme of ffyve hundrithe mks. (markis, 271. 15s. 6d. ster- ling), money of Scotland; and to the merchandis and crafts hospitallis thair, equallie to be devydit amangis them ffyve huudrithe mks. money." Commissary Re- cords.

Inscription Query (1 st S. xi. 47.) The piece of paper, something smaller than a visiting-card, on which was printed

" Anno 173

Capax est

In Irschenberg."

and on which the cipher 4. has been added by the pen, may admit the following explanation : Ir- schenberg is probably Hirschberg, in Silesia, formerly a watering-place. See Vosgein, Diet. Geog. The form, and especially the filling up of the date with the pen, suggest the idea of common advertising cards. Let then Dr. Capax be the watering-place physician, who yearly attended the health-seeking visitors, and the mysterious in- scription may simply mean :

"Anno 1734

(Dr.) Capax is (arrived)

In Hirschberg."

It is by no means essential to suppose this gen- tleman to have been a doctor ; Capax is equally capable of performing the part of a banker, a fiddler, or a painter. J. S.

Joseph Adrien Le Bailly (1 st S. v. 248.) An account of " Joseph Adrien Le Bailly Ecuier, Seig r D'Inghuem," &c., is to be found in Recueil He.raldiqne, avec des Notices G enealogiques et His- toriques sur un grand nombre de Families nobles et patridennes de la Ville et du Francourt de Bruges, par F. Van Dycke, 1851, p. 22. But M. Van Dycke makes no remark upon the singular in- scription which I have often noticed upon his very handsome tomb in the cathedral at Bruges. G. STEINMAN STEINMAN.

Old Nick (1 st S. xii. 513.) Among the many learned disquisitions on the name of the enemy of mankind, it may not be amiss to hear what the
