Mother of Thomas à Becket (Vol. i., pp. 415. 490.).—Thierry, in the 8th vol. of his Histoire de la Conquête de l'Angleterre par les Normands, quotes as an authority for the account of the Eastern origin of the mother of Thomas à Becket, Vita et Processus S.

Medal of Stukeley.—In answer to Mr. Britton's Queries (Vol. i., p. 122., and Vol. ii., p. 40.), I beg to inform him that the medal of Stukeley was executed soon after that eminent antiquary's death by an artist of the name of Gaal, who was not a die-sinker, but a modeller and chaser. The medal is rare, but not unique: I have one in my own collection, and I have, I think, seen one or two others. They are all cast in a mould and chased.
