Robert Berkeley, of Stoke, Knt. ; and secondly a daughter of Sir Edward Rogers. Issue bj first wife :

1. Sir Wm. Th rock mor ton, created barone 1611.

2. Elizabeth, married, February, 1611, Si Thos. Dale, sometime Governor of Virginia Lady Dale died 1640, leaving no issue ; an extract from her will is given in Brown' 'Genesis of the United States.' She gave to Mrs. Dorothea Throgmorton her lands in Charles Hundred, Virginia, and to the son o Richard Hanby her lands in Shirley Hundred One half her estate in England and Virginia after payment of her debts and legacies, sh gave to the children of her brother, Sir Wm Throgmorton, Knt. and Baronet, deceased She gave her nephew John, the Lord Viscounl Scudamore, a ring, valued at sixty pounds sterling.

3. Mary, married first Sir Thos. Basker ville, general of the English army in Picardy he died 1597; secondly, Sir James Scudamore knighted for valour at the siege of Calais! M.P. for Herefordshire 1 James I. Their son John Scudamore, of Holme Lacey, Here- fordshire, created baronet 1620, M.P. co. Here- ford 1620 and 21 James I. ; created Baron of Dromore and Viscount Scudamore of Sligo by letters patent 2 July, 1628; ambassador to France, &c.

I am at a loss to account for "my Lady Throckmorton, my half-sister." As I do not know the name of Francis Throgmorton's mother, it seems probable that Anthony Throckmorton was her second husband, and that her daughter by her first husband was the second wife of Sir Thos. Throckmorton of Coss Court ; see above.

C. WICKLIFFE THROCKMORTON.

In the * Records of the English Province, S.J.,' compiled by the late Brother Foley, S.J., there is a good deal about the Throg- mortons, which may interest those who are seeking information concerning the family.

"TWOPENNY TUBE" (9 th S. vii. 29, 116). There is, I believe, no shadow of doubt that the claim to the invention of this term belongs to Mr. H. Devey Browne. Towards the end of June last year Mr. Browne told me he was about to pay a private visit to the Central London Railway, and asked me whether a note or short article thereon would be welcomed by the Londoner, a journal in which I was much interested. The offer was cordially accepted, and I remember well, in

seeing the title at the head of the MS., being struck by its absolute newness. Mr. Browne explained it by saying that he found the train ran in a kind of tube, and that he understood the fare was to be twopence for any and every distance. The article duly appeared in the issue of 30 June (a copy of which I enclose), and was commented upon in the next number of Punch, who referred to the Londoner's calling the Central London Railway the Twopenny Tube. The railway was not open to the public until about a month after this. When it was opened the Daily Mail took up the term, and it was soon general. But I think nobody can point to it in print before the article in the Londoner of 30 June; and as Mr. Browne assures me that the title, like the rest of his article, was his own work, I think his claim to its invention is indisputable.

"QUOD NON FECERUNT BARBARI FECERUNT

BARBERINI " (9 th S. vii. 246). In one of his 1 Letters from Italy,' written in 1740, De Brosses says :

' Pope Urban VIII. has been much abused for having carried off the bronze from the portico and roof of the building. ' Quod non fecere Barbari, fecere Barberini.' But was it not worth taking this bronze in order to make the great Baldaquino of St. Peter's and the High Altar, which are the finest things of their kind extant?"

In the first edition of Murray's 'Handbook to Rome,' 1843, the following passage occurs :

' Urban VIII. (Barberini) stripped the Pantheon of the bronze plates, which had escaped the plunder of the Emperor Constans II. in the seventh century, io construct the baldacchino of St. Peter's, an act mmortalised by Pasquin in a saying which has now almost become a proverb, ' Quod non fecerunt Barbari, fecere Barberini.'"

" BOUGEES " : " BUGGIES " (9 th S. vii. 148). N. & Q.,' 5 th S. v. 445, contains a long article by the late CUTHBERT BEDE on the word ' buggy," and the different senses in which t has been used, with three references to -he etymology of the word " bug."

ST. CLEMENT DANES (9 th S. vii. 64, 173, 274).

With reference to COL. PRIDEAUX'S valuable

lote at the last reference on the connexion

>etween St. Olaf and the St. Clement,

patron of seamen," who was identical with

'ope Clement I., may I venture to suggest

hat the key to the mystery may be found in

he following facts 1

1. That Pope Clement I., by his banishment o and martyrdom at Kertch in the Crimea,
