West, Kipling, and Millbourne.—In 1752 there was a firm of West and Kipling in Holborn: the Christian name of West was Thomas; and there is reason to believe that he had two sons, Francis and Thomas. A George Millbourne, Esq., of Spring Gardens, married a cousin of Thomas West, the partner of Kipling: these facts are referred to in the will of a lady proved A.D. 1764. Can any reader of "N. & Q." furnish me with materials or references from which I may gather information of these families of West and Millbourne? The smallest contribution will be thankfully received by

Font Inscriptions.—I would request the favour of any such of ancient date. A collection of them would be interesting. I can give three.
At Lullington, Somerset, on a Norman font, in characters of that date:
"In hoc Fontu sacro pereunt delicta lavacro."
At Bourn, Lincoln:
"Sup ome nom I H C est nom qde."
At Melton Mowbray:
"Sancta Trinitas misere nobis."
