To point a moral, or adorn a tale."

"I put a spoke in his wheel" (Vol. viii., p. 269.).—If G.K., being wronged, should cherish the unchristian spirit of revenge, let him playfully insert a spoke in the wheel of his friend's tandem, as it bowls along behind a pair of thorough-bred tits, with twelve months' hard condition upon old oats in them.
By simply putting a spoke in the wheel of the waggon employed in the removal of the Manchester College to London, one trustee opposed a decided "impediment to the movement" of that institution.

P. S.—Allow me to point out a misprint at Vol. viii., p. 279, "Manners of the Irish:" for chuse read cheese.
Judges styled Reverend (Vol. viii., pp. 158. 276.).—With respect to the error into which I was led in making Anthony Fitzherbert Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, I beg to express my thanks for our good friend's correction. My statement
was founded on the authority of the Visitation-Book of the county of Derby, A.D. 1634, in which Anthony Fitzherbert is "Chief Justice of ——;" and, as the question of his rank as a judge was not one at the moment of communicating my Note, I made no farther inquiry. I find, however, upon reference to Vincent's Collections for Derbyshire, that Anthony Fitzherbert is styled, in a very good pedigree of his family, "Unus Justiciariorum de Coī Banco." Had I turned to Dugdale's Origines Juridiciales, the error might have been avoided.
