CARLESS OR CARLOS FAMILY. Any informa- tion respecting the family of Carless or Carlos will be gladly accepted. My present informa- tion is of Col. William Carlos, who sat in the oak with Charles II., and died in 1689, leaving

his property to an adopted son, Edward Carlos. The colonel had a son William, born 1643, died 1668, and buried at Fulham, and a brother John, who had a son William living in 1689 (see ' Boscobel Tracts '). The family lived for a long time at a farm called Brom- hall, in the parish of Brewood, co. Stafford, and had to be ejected in 1724, as they claimed possession. Please send all information to (Rev.) F. J. WROTTESLEY. The Vicarage, Denstone, Uttoxeter.

CORNEY HOUSE. Can any one tell me where Corney House was 1 It is mentioned in an unpublished letter from Aaron Hill to Samuel Richardson, the novelist (19 July, 1736) :

"Corney House is much oftener in my thoughts than perhaps you imagine, and it is not without some impatience that I long for the delight of be- coming a witness of that friendly and agreeable

freedom wherein you enjoy a retreat that carries

temptation even in description."

THE PLACE-NAME OXFORD. (9 th S. iii. 44, 309, 389 ; iv. 70, 130, 382, 479.)

MR. SHORE'S reply largely consists of irrelevant matter based upon hypotheses that may be true or false. It is hardly necessary to follow him through these digressions. The nature of his arguments may be appreciated by the three points that he specially emphasizes as affecting my contention. They are : (1) the fact (if such it is) that the line from the Cher well to Binsey was the boundary, "from time beyond the memory of man," between the land of the abbot of Abingdon and " the liberty of Oxford "; (2) that the abbot's court met at Grand pont, which MR. SHORE identifies with Suthanford : (3) that I am " silent as to how the recognized boundaries of the abbey land at Abingdon, if Eoccenford was there, are to be identified with those to which I [MR. SHORE] have drawn attention." As my contention through- out has been, and is, that the boundaries in the 955 charter never touch Grandpont or the Cherwell-Binsey line, it is obvious that these points, even if true, do not affect my position that Eoccenford was at Abingdon. As regards (2), it assumes what is not true that O.E. boundaries start from the place where a court was held. In (3) I am reproached Because I do not show how an identification
 * hat I have maintained to be impossible can

made.
