Shaw's Staffordshire MSS.—Can any of your Staffordshire correspondents furnish information as to the present depository of the Rev. Stebbing Shaw's Staffordshire MSS., and the MS. notes of Dr. Thomas Harwood used in his two editions

of Erdeswick's Staffordshire? And can they refer to a pedigree of Thomas Wood, Esq., Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, 1501; who is said to have built Hall O'Wood, in Batterley, near Botley, Staffordshire.

N. C. L.

"Ne'er to these chambers," &c.

"Ne'er to these chambers where the mighty rest

Since their foundation, came a nobler guest,

Nor to th' immortal entrance e'er convey'd

A loftier spirit, or more welcome shade."

Where do these lines come from?

Aram.
