It would be easy afterwards to leave out all mention of Robin Hood and his methods, and give a " good pennyworth." AYEAHR.

HOGARTH'S ' SIGLSMUNDA ' (9 th S. v. 8). This picture is in the National Gallery. It was bequeathed to the nation by the late Mr. James Hughes Anderdon. See Mr. Austin Dobson's * Hogarth ' (Kegan Paul, Trench, Triibner & Co.), pp. 137 and 299.

Hogarth's * Sigismunda ' was bequeathed to the National Gallery by the late Mr. J. H. Anderdon in 1879, and is numbered in the catalogue 1046. G. F. R. B.

ST. EANSWYTH (9 th S. iv. 461 ; v. 8). MR. JOHN T. PAGE says that recent mention made of the discovery of the relics of this virgin saint at Folkestone " whets his appetite," a remark that suggests a queer sort of taste. Parti- culars of the whole circumstances may be found recorded in the Building News, 3 June and 24 July, 1885 ; British Architect, 26 June, 1885 ; Builder, 27 June, 1885 ; Kent County Standard, 17 July, 1885 ; Folkestone Chronicle, 18 July, 1885, and 2 Oct., 1897 ; Maidstone and Kentish Journal, 20 July, 1885 ; and Illustrated Carpenter and Builder, 24 July, 1885. The story of my " find " was retold in the Times, 5 Oct., 1897, and that paper devoted a long leader to it four days later (9 Oct.). There were also articles and letters thereupon in the Liverpool Mercury, Guardian, and Folkestone Express, all for 6 Oct., 1897 ; Weekly Register, 9 Oct., 1897 ; and the Morning Post, 13 Nov., 1897. Probably many other publica- tions contained accounts of what was con- sidered to have been one of the most remarkable antiquarian finds ever made in Kent, but the above list comprises all that my press-cutting agents (Romeike & Curtice) seem to have sent me.

A description of this reliquary and its dis- covery is in Arch. Cantiana, vol. xvi. pp. 322-6 This account is also reprinted in the * History of the Parish Church of Folkestone ' (Skeffing- tons), by the late vicar, the Rev. Matthew Woodward. ARTHUR HUSSEY.

CARDINAL WARDLAW (9 th S. iv. 498). Th following is taken from the Right Rev Robert Keith's * Historical Catalogue of th Scottish Bishops':

" Walter Wardlaw, of the family of Torrie, ii Fife, Archdeacon of Lothian, and secretary to Kini David 11., was consecrated Bishop of the See o Glasgow in the year 1368 (Rymer), yet he is bishop here in the thirty-eighth year of King David II

'Cart. Cambusk.'), i.e., anno Dom. 1367; but the ime of the year, both of his consecration and of the

Beginning of the king's reign, may adjust this matter. le was Bishop of Glasgow 4 J uly, anno David II. 9, and 19 April, anno Robert II primo (Mar.).

He was bishop here (Glasgow) in the Parliament at

Scone 27 March, 1371 (' Ruddiman against Logan, >. 398). He was promoted to be a cardinal by Pope

Element VII. anno 1381 (Fordun). We find him Bishop of Glasgow in the sixth year of the said Pope, .e., anno Domini 1384 (C. Paslet). In the cartulary >f Dunfermline, fol. 66, the following paper is to be een, viz., 'Valterus miseratione divina sanctas iom. ecclesise cardinalis, omnimodo potestate legati

k latere in Scotise et Hibernise regnis sufficienter 'ulcitus, sub sigillo quo dudum utebamur ut

episcppus Glasguen. 15to die mensis Decembris, ^ontincatus dementis Papse septimi anno octavo, rle was bishop and cardinal anno 10 Rob. II. ('Royal

Charters'), and 2 January anno Rob. II. 16 (Mar.). ?ordun says he died anno 1387 ; yet we find him Walter) still alive on 10 April in the nineteenth

year of King Robert II., i.e., anno 1389 (' Dipl. et Slum.,' c. 27). Bishop Wardlaw with the Bishop

of Dunkeld were plenipotentiaries for negotiating

a truce with England at Boulogne-sur-mer, in

September, 1384 ('Fcedera,' vol. vii. pp. 438-41; and Rot. Scot.,' 10 Oct., 8 Ric. II.)."

Henry Wardlaw, a nephew of the above- mentioned Walter Wardlaw, was Bishop of St. Andrews in 1419 and the founder of the University in the city of St. Andrews.

Walter Wardlaw, Bishop of Glasgow, 1368 : created a cardinal by Urban VI., 1381 ; died 1389. At the beginning of the reign of King Robert II. a solemn embassy was sent to Paris, to renew and strengthen the league between Scotland and France. The am- bassadors were Sir Archibald Douglas and Walter W r ardlaw the latter soon afterwards raised to the dignity of a cardinal. We are told that he had "taught philosophy with applause in the University of Paris r ' (Michel., i. 71). I doubt if any complete biography exists. He was, historically, overshadowed by his more illustrious nephew, Henry Wardlaw, Bishop of St. Andrews 1404 ; founder of the University 1411; died 1440 ; distinguished for severe morality, and, even more, for bitter animosity towards heretics. During his tenure of office two persons were, with his knowledge, burnt at the stake for heresy John Resby, an Englishman, 1422 ; and Paul Crew, a Bohemian, 1432. HERBERT B. CLAYTON.

Sir Henry Wardlaw, of Torrie, in the west of Fife, married a niece of Walter, High Steward of Scotland, and was father of Car- dinal Walter Wardlaw, who was consecrated Bishop of Glasgow in 1368. Walter Wardlaw first appears as Archdeacon of Lothian and secretary to David II., who reigned 1329 to
