by Bishop Blomfield on 3 March, 1826, hi successor being nominated to that living 01 26 March, 1856. For three years he held th living of Taxal, 1822-5, but does not appea to have been licensed thereto.

The Rev. Thurstan Forshaw was ordainec deacon by Bishop Sumner at a general ordi nation held at Chester on 31 January, 1836 and the same day was licensed to the stipen diary curacy of Alsager, Cheshire.

Arch deacon Hodson on 26 April, 1842, and resignec the living 1 July, 1875. He died, I believe in 1879. I can find no record of the death o: the Rev. Charles Forshaw.

ALUM TRADE (9 th S. v. 188, 233). Some of the history of the early workingof alum inEng land may be traced by turning to the accounl of Sir Thomas Chaloner in the 'D.N.B.,'ix 459 ; to which may be added Topographer and Genealogist, 1853, ii. 403, sqq., anc ' N. & Q., } 7 th S. iii. 103. W. C. B.

"To JIPPER A JOINT" (9 th S. v. 208). It i more than thirty years ago since I sat in a Sussex chimney-corner basting thrushes sus- pended on worsted before a log fire. The chef de cuisine was an old naval pensioner, and his instructions were: "Mind you jipper them well." From him I also learned to call gravy "jipper," and bread-and-dripping " bread-and-jipper." C. E. CLARK.

KELLET FAMILY (9 th S. v. 208). For Edward Kellet, D.D., and his works, see ' N. & Q.,' 1 st S. v. 458, 519 ; 7 th S. iii. 204 ; and Gentle- man's Magazine, February, 1841.

Thomas Kellet was one of the chief bur- gesses of Berkhampstead, 1628. In that church there was a stone in Chauncy's time with this inscription, "In spe beatse Resurrectionis hie jacet Edwardus Kellet, armiger, qui obiit decimo septimo die Septembri Anno Dom. 1635." M.A.OXON.

BYNG(9 th S.v. 208). Supposing theChristian names, or even the initials, to be omitted from a school register, the task of identification be- comes difficult. An old friend of mine, deceased many years ago, told me that in his time at Westminster, at the beginning of this century, the school was full of Byngs, Pagets, Russells, and Lennoxes. There is a pedigree of "Byng

of Wrotham," co. Middlesex, in Burke's ' His- tory of the Commoners' (vol. i. p. 14). The head of the family at that date (1836) was George Byng, M.P., who died father of the House of Commons in 1847. This may be the person inquired for. Wrotham Park is now the seat of the Earl of Strafford.

THE FATEFUL POCKETHANDKERCHIEF (9 th S. v. 185). Was there ever a more fateful pocket- handkerchief than that given by Othello to Desdemona 1 The former says of it (III. iv.) :

That handkerchief

Did an Egyptian to my mother give.

There 's magic in the web of it.

JARNDYCE v. JARNDYCE (9 th S. iv. 539 ; v. 156). See 8 th S. iii. 29, 94 ; iv. 356. Q. V.

" THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER " (9 th S. V. 65,

152). In this connexion the old rime which tells us that

Green is forsaken, and blue is forsworn, is interesting. C. C. B.

THE FUTURE OF BOOKS AND BOOKMEN (9 th S. iv. 476 ; v. 35, 216). A writer in the Saturday Review dated 30 December, 1882, permits himself, on the strength of Grolier's " Portio mea, Doinine, sit in terra viventium " motto, to think that this eminent collector "did not expect to find many books in the next world." Such an opinion may, indeed, arise from the motto and the circumstances. ARTHUR MAYALL.

THE FIRST BRITISH LIGHTHOUSE (9 th S. v. 186). I know not what your correspondent exactly means, under this heading, by saying '* that the first lifeboat was dispatched on her nitial errand of mercy from Lowestoft," seeing that the lifeboat was invented here jy Wouldhave or Greathead (the latter eceiving a Parliamentary grant, &c., as the nventor), or, more correctly speaking, by i local committee which adopted the best )oints of all the designs sent in. It was irst used at the mouth of the Tyne on June, 1790. R. B R.

MR. E. H. COLEMAN mentions the first

British lighthouse was erected at Lowestoft,

A.D. 1610. It may be worth recording that

was the selfsame year the most remarkable

f all modern lighthouses was completed near

he mouth of the river Garonne, on the coast

f France. It was begun in the reign of

Jenry II. of France, was twenty-six years in
