203. Oxford Fellowships.—
"Upon this occasion I might repeat what I have observed before, page 33. of these Annals, where the highest fellowships in Oxford in 1534 or 1535 did not exceed 6l. 13s. 4d., nor the lowest fall under 3l., and that was in Brazen Nose College; at which time New College fellowships were but rated at 3l. 9s. 4d., nor any of Magdalen fellowships (except two for Yorkshire that were obliged to go and preach in the countries abroad) above 3l. 15s. 4d., as may be found in Mr. Twine's MS."—Smith's Annals of Univ. Coll. p. 372.
Can any of your correspondents throw any light upon the parenthetical clause printed in Italics?

204. Leonard Fell and Judge Fell.
—Mr. Josiah Marsh, in A popular Life of George Fox, 8vo., London, 1847, p. 83., mentions "Leonard Fell of Becliff, a brother of the judge."
I shall be obliged by a reference to the authority on which this statement rests. George Fox frequently mentions both Leonard Fell and Judge Fell; but I cannot find in his Journal the slightest hint that they were in any way connected. Fell is a common name in the north of Lancashire. Leonard Fell was one of the preachers who sometimes accompanied George Fox in his wanderings. Judge Fell was a staunch member of the Church of England.

—Will you, or one of your correspondents, have the goodness to inform me whence is derived the quotation "Cleanliness is next to Godliness?"
