The Grogog of a Castle.—It appears by a record of the Irish Exchequer of 3 Edw. II., that one Walter Haket, constable of Maginnegan's Castle in the co. of Dublin, confined one of the King's officers in the Grogog thereof. Will you permit me to inquire, whether this term has been applied to the prison of castles in England?
