There is never a Maid in London City In my conceit is like my 7>V////, She is so handsome in her favour I think myself a-blest to have her."

So to conclude, I wish each Lover

To prove so constant to each other,

As those two did of whom I 'me speaking :

There need not be so much heart-breaking.

CARTWRIGHT (9 th S. viii. 185). In answer t the query by L. J. C., I can give the follow ing pedigree, which may assist him. Thoma Cartwright bought Hall o' Lee, in the paris of Church Lawton, Cheshire, from the Legl family of Adlington, and it was in his posses sion 12 Dec., 1659. His son John Cartwright of Hall o' Lee, had a son John Cartwright of Hall o' Lee, who married, 2 Sept., 1686 Elizabeth, daughter of Collins Wobuck alderman of Shrewsbury, and died 6 March 1718, aged fifty -nine. He was succeeded by his only son, - the Rev. John Cart wright, M.A., vicar of Middle wich (presented 13 July, 1719) and rector of St. Mary's in Chester (presented 1 April, 1724). The Rev John Cartwright (will dated 14 Nov., 1729 and proved 8 July, 1731), who was chaplain to Theophilus, Earl of Huntingdon, had by his wife Grace, eldest daughter of the Rev. Thomas Welles, M.A., vicar of Sandbach, an only son, Thomas Cartwright, of Sandbach attorney, who succeeded to Hall o' Lee. He married Elizabeth Kriowles (died 3 Dec., 1824, aged ninety-three ; buried at Sandbach), of Bud worth and Crowley, Cheshire, and by her had one son, John Cartwright, of Hall o' Lee (bapt. Sandbach, 29 July, 1757 ; died 4 Aug., 1817, unmarried ; buried at Sandbach), and several daughters, the eldest of whom, Eliza- beth Cartwright, married William Hilditch, of Wheelock, on 17 Sept., 1775, at Sandbach, and died 24 Aug., 1780, aged twenty-four. Her eldest son, Thomas Hilditch, left a sole heiress, Mary, wife of the Rev. Thomas Hodges, M.A., whose grandson, Mr. Thomas Clayton Toler, B.A., J.P., lives at Hockerley House, near Stockport. The above informa- tion is chiefly derived from Mr. Toler's notes on the family, which he kindly lent me some time ago. The Cartwright property and deeds descended to his mother. There are also references to several members of the family in Earwaker's ' History of Sandbach.'

L. J. C. will find several references to this family in the ' History of the Ancient Parish

of Sandbach,' published privately by my late friend John Parsons Earwaker, M.A., F.S.A, in 1890. A John Cartwright was baptized at Sandbach on 29 July, 1759 ; he was son of Thomas Cartwright, gentleman, of Sandbach, who was son of the Rev. John Cartwright, vicar of Middlewich. This clergyman had three other children, all daughters. He was also rector of St. Mary's, Chester, from 1724 to 1731. There were Cartwrights baptized at the chapelry of Goostrey in Sandbach parish in 1687. It might also be worth while to consult Mr. Earwaker's 'East Cheshire' and * History of St. Mary's, Chester.'

MERLIN (9 th S. viii. 103, 234). By a curious mishap I did not see until four weeks after date the Times of Monday, 26 August, other- wise I should have added to my note at the last reference that Sir George Bird wood con- tributed a long and interesting letter on the subject of Merlin to the Times of that day. Doubtless MR. MARSTON has seen this letter, which confirms my doubts as to the existence of such an edition as that mentioned in the original inquiry. W. ROBERTS.

"IN THE DAYS WHEN WE WENT GIPSYING"

(9 th S. viii. 15, 211). The first parody quoted s by J. R. Planche, and is given in ' Jeux

d 'Esprit,' collected and edited by H. S. Leigh Chatto & Windus), 1879. Planche's words

are slightly different from those given by the

REV. J. WOODFALL EBSWORTH.

PORTRAIT OF LORD RAGLAN (9 th S. viii. 204). Will the gentleman who wrote to me rom the United Service Club about Lord Raglan's portrait, and whose letter has been unfortunately lost, accept my hearty thanks

"WENT "(9 th S. viii. 40, 214). Four cross oads in this parish (Aldenham) were called

the Four Want Ways," and they retain the

ame, though one road was closed in 1803, a

! ootpath remaining to justify it. I have

magined that " want " was an error for

ALDENHAM.

THE 'MARSEILLAISE' (9 th S. viii. 61, 126, 87, 245). MR. KARL BLIND puts aside rather ivalierly mv reference to the remark of le little judge in 'Pickwick 'as irrelevant, think, however, that it applies perfectly to le statement that "a soldier had recognized

German mass in Swabia as being in the main the tune of the ' Marseillaise.' " What
