Portrait of First Duke of St. Albans by Le Due. I have lately purchased a small oil picture said to be a portrait of the first Duke of St. Albans, and painted by Le Due. It had been for upwards of a century in the possession of one family before it became mine. Could any of your correspond- ents inform me if it is known that Le Due painted any portrait of the duke ?

Construction of Quadrants. Information is re- quested of any work in which I may find instruc- tions for the construction of quadrants, particularly Button's or Collins's. WILLIAM TUCKER, M.D. The Lodge, Higher Brixham, Torquay.

William III., Sfc. 1. Where am I likely to find copies of the warrants issued to the Masters- General of the Ordnance, during the reign of Wil- liam III., authorising the various trains of artillery, &c., required for the campaign in Flanders ?

2. Where can I find a detailed account of the campaign in Flanders during the reign of Wil- liam III.?

3. What are the contemporary histories of this reign ? * R. R. A.

Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. Among the Irish Knights of St. John were, in the reign of Henry VIII., some of the Fitzgeralds. On the 2nd Feb. 1535-13 were executed at Tyburn, Thomas, Earl of Kildare, and the whole of his five uncles, Sir James, Oliver, Richard, Sir John, and Walter. The peerages describe Sir James and Sir John both as Knights of St. John of Je- rusalem. In the Chronicle of the Grey Friars of London (printed for the Catnden Society, 1852), p. 39., all five brothers are designated " Sir " as being knights, but " Sir Richard " only is called " Lord of St. John's in Ireland," and not Sir James or Sir John. It is probable that CEYREP, or some other of the correspondents of " N. & Q." on this subject, can refer to the lists which con- tain the names of the Irish knights, and say which of the preceding accounts is correct.

Dr. Thomas Deacon and Bishop Cartwright (1 st S. xii. 85.) I happened to mention to one who, as far as this neighbourhood is concerned, is the walking register of births, deaths, and mar- riages, the account which appeared in your num- ber for last August of Dr. Thomas Deacon, one of

the nonjuring bishops. He gave me this account of Dr. Deacon's son-in-law, to which I hope you will give insertion, and so enable me to obtain answers to the two Queries which I wish to pro- pose. There lived in this town (Shrewsbury), during the latter part of the last century, an apothecary, one William Cartwright ; he had been consecrated a bishop by Dr. Deacon, whose daughter he had married. He was a retiring, worthy man, esteemed much by all who knew him. He had only one son, Thomas Theodorus, who died unmarried. Bishop Cartwright was often visited by his people for instruction, who, most of them, lived in Manchester, to which place he made occasional journeys. He used to read the service for the dead over the bodies of his followers before they were removed from the house. He ordained one Presbyter, a Mr. Podmore, who was master of a school in this town, near which he -lies buried. The bishop is interred in St. Giles's churchyard ; the words on the stone marking the spot are, "Underneath lie the remains of William Cartwright, Apothecary, who died Oct. 14, 1799, aged 69." The questions which I wish to put are : 1. Do any records exist of the consecrations, ordinations, &c., amongst the nonjurors ? 2. Was William Cartwright the last of the nonjuring

bishops ? D. MOUNTFJELD.

Claremont, Shrewsbury.

[For the records relating to the consecrations among the nonjurors consult the Appendix to the Hon. and Rev. A. P. Perceval's Apology for the Doctrine of Apostolical Succession, as well as a valuable paper by that gentleman in the British Magazine, vol. xviii. p. 23. There were two more consecrations after that of Cartwright. In 1780 Cartwright and Price were consecrated by Dr. Deacon. In 1795 Cartwright consecrated Thomas Garnett, and at a later period Charles Boothe, and with him this line ter- minated. It may not be generally known that Dr. Sea- bury, on his arrival in England in 1783, with a view of obtaining consecration as Bishop of Connecticut, had some correspondence with Mr. Cartwright, previous to his application to the Church in Scotland, from whose pre- lates he eventually received his orders. Mr. Cartwright's letter is preserved in the library of the late Rev. H. H. Norris, of Hacknev, and printed in The Colonial Church \ Chronicle for December, 1849, p. 217. This letter is par- j ticularly interesting, as throwing light upon the condi- tion, at that period, of the remnant of that distinguished 1 body of men. It also shows that Cartwright was a man writings of the nonjuring divines, such as Dr. Hickes, Jeremv Collier, Leslie, Brett, &c, and strongly attached to their tenets. William Cartwright died in 1799. On his death -bed he declared his conformity to the Church of England, and received the Eucharist according to the rites of that Church, from the Rev. VV. G. Rowland. Boothe, the last of the nonjuring bishops, died in Ireland in the year 1805.]
