There is still another print entitled "Lambeth," where three bishops are rowing from Lambeth, with the word "Disappointed" under them. A fourth is rowed towards Lambeth by a waterman, who exclaims "Your're all Bob'd!"

Chichester Pallant (Vol. vii., p. 206.).—Chichester, I need not say, is of Roman foundation, and has several marks of its Roman origin; the little stream that runs through it is called the Lavant, evidently from lavando. The Pallant, the chief quarter of the town, and, of old, a separate jurisdiction, was called "Palatinus sive Palenta." "Palantia, Palatinatus," says Ducange, "jurisdictio ejus qui habet jus lites decidendi supremo jure." The Pallant of Chichester is not to be confounded with the Bishop's Palace. It is in a different district, and was, no doubt, from Roman times, a separate palatine jurisdiction.

Scarfs worn by Clergymen (Vol. vii., pp. 143. 215.).—As Mr. Jebb has intervened voluntarily in this question, not merely as an inquirer or reasoner, but as an evidence to facts, I hope I may be allowed to ask him his authority for the distinction "between broad and narrow scarfs." After this assertion as to the fact, he adds his own personal authority of having "in his boyhood heard mention made of that distinction." As I do not know his age, I would beg to ask when and where he heard that mention; and to make my inquiry more clear, I would ask whether he has any (and what) authority for the fact of the distinction beyond having "in his boyhood heard mention of it?" We must get at the facts before we can reason on them.

Alicia Lady Lisle (Vol. vii., p. 236.).—The lady referred to was Alice, or Alicia, daughter and coheir of Sir White Beconsawe: she was beheaded at Winchester, 1685. The jury by whom she was tried had, it is stated, thrice acquitted her; but the judge, that disgrace to human nature, Jefferies, insisted upon a conviction. Her husband was John Lisle the regicide, a severe republican, and one of the Protector's lords. An account of the family will be found in Curious Memoirs of the Protectorate House of Cromwell, vol. i. p. 273.

The family of the present Lord Lisle, whose family name is Lysaght, and elevated to the peerage of Ireland in 1758, has nothing to do with that of the republican court.

Respecting the old baronies of Lisle, full accounts will be found in the admirable report of the claim to that barony by Sir Harris Nicolas, one of the counsel for the claimant, Sir John Shelley Sidney: 8vo. Lond. 1829.
