1620, and other collections." The transcrip- tion to which MR. JONES refers is, judging from the first verse as given by him, full of errors. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

PANTON FAMILY (9 th S. xi. 447). In Daniell's excellent ' Catalogue of Engraved Portraits ' occurs one of Capt. Edward Panton, "owner of Panton Street, temp. Charles II., which he won by gambling, 4to, Is." I sup- pose he is identical with the author of the book called * Speculum Juventutis ' named in MRS. PANTON'S query. C. KING.

Torquay.

While on another quest I have happened on the following particulars of the Panton family. They are necessarily disjointed, but may be of use to MRS. PANTON, and suggest to her further sources of inquiry :

John Pantoun, of Pitmeddan, had a grant from James IV. of the lands of Wester Corse, in Aberdeen, on 6 March, 1506/7.

Alexander, his son and heir apparent, was witness to a charter in 1511.

Isobelle Pantoun was wife of Ranald Udny, of Udny, and had a confirmation of lands in Aberdeen in 1511.

Alexander Pantoun, whose wife's name was Marjory Barclay, sold Wester Corse to Thomas Fraser in 1531.

Arthur, his son, bought lands in Aberdeen in 1532.

Mr. Oliver Pantoun, of Cowhill, was on an assize in 1548. He had a son called Arthur.

These are from the Great Seal Register.

Alexander Pantoun was on 18 November, 1612, served heir of Henry Pantoun, of Craig,

his father.

William Pantoun, writer to the Signet, was served heir of James Pantoun, of Blackhouse, Aberdeen, his father, on 26 September, 1688.

Henry Pantoune owned Hilton, Aberdeen, in 1693. He married Anna Irvine.

These are from the Scots Retours.

William Pantoun was minister of Muckart, Perthshire, in 1586. J. L. ANDERSON.

Panton is probably^ white town, a hybrid between Gaelic ban, baine, and -ton ; cf. Pan- mure=white moor. H. A. STRONG.

Your correspondent will find pedigrees of this family in Burke's 'Colonial Gentry,' vol. ii. p. 476, and Berry's ' Sussex Genealo- gies,' p. 371. CHAS. H. CROUCH.

KEYS TO THACKERAY'S NOVELS (8 fch S. vii. 89, 229; viii. 33). -In 'A Biographical Dic- tionary of the Living Authors of Great

Britain and Ireland ' (London, 1816, Colburn), appears the following: " Costigan, Arthur William, Esquire, formerly Captain in the Irish Brigade in the service of Spain. 'Sketches of Society and Manners in Por- tugal,' 2 vols. 8vo, 1788." May it not be possible that Thackeray noticed this 1 Sixty years had elapsed between the publication of the above author's book and the issue of ' Pendennis,' and no harm would be done through the appropriation of the name. At any rate, it is a coincidence to find that a Capt. Costigan did in fact once live.

INNS OF CHANCERY (9 th S. xi. 448). Twelve chapters on the ' Origin and Progress of Barnard's Inn,' by "An Antient of the Society " (Charles Pugh), appeared in 7 th S. ii., iii. Peter Cunningham in his * Handbook of London ' says :

" Barnard's Inn, called also formerly Mackworth's Inne, was in the time of King Henry the Sixth a messuage belonging to Dr. John Mack worth, dean of Lincoln, and being in the occupation of one Barnard at the time of the conversion thereof into an Inne of Chancery, it beareth Barnard's name still to this day. The arms of this house are those of Mack worth."

Is it not probable that the old records from which "An Antient" composed his history may be found in the Horary of Lincoln Cathedral ? EVERARD HOME COLEMAN.

"THE TEMPLE SHAKESPEARE" (9 th S. xi. 407). Messrs. J. M. Dent & Co., who have adopted the title " The Temple" for many of their publications (e.g., " The Temple Classics," "The Temple Dramatists"), are the pub- lishers of "The Temple Shakespeare, of which they say that the text is, by kind per- mission of Messrs. Macmillan & Co. and W. Aldis Wright, Esq., that of the " Cambridge " edition. This has perhaps misled MR. BUTLER into thinking that the two editions are the same. C. C. B.

TRAGEDY AT HEPTONSTALL (9 th S. xi. 423). It by no means follows that what took place in the church and churchyard of Heptonstall was of an extraordinarily grave character. In the Middle Ages, when bloodshed had occurred in a church or churchyard, or either had been polluted by certain other wicked acts, or by the burial of some one who had died under sentence of excommunication, or when the greater part of the sacred building had been destroyed by fire or some other terrible catastrophe, reconciliation was required.
