John Goldesborough (Vol. v., p. 294.).
—John Goldesborough, or Goldesburgh, was born 18th October, 1568, studied at Oxford, and went thence to the Middle Temple, where he was called to the Bar. In or about 1613 he was constituted Second Prothonotary of the Common Pleas, which office he held till his death, 9th October, 1618. He was buried in the Temple Church, where there is, or was, a monumental brass to his memory, having thereon his and his wife's effigies, with an inscription in English. His Reports were printed several years after his death. (Wood's Athenæ Oxonienses, i. 293. 369.; Dugdale's Origines Juridiciales, 63. 178.; Bibliotheca Legum Angliæ, i. 236. 242., ii. 213.; Reports of Deputy Keeper of Public Records, Second Report, Appendix, ii. p. 73.; Fourth Report, Appendix, ii. p. 37.)

Corrupted Names of Places (Vol. v., p. 285.).
—I beg to offer a few additions to mispronounced names of places:
| Rampisham | Dorset | Ransom | |
| Beaminster | Do. | Bemmister | |
| Portisham | Do. | Possum | |
| Portishead | Somerset | Posset. |
In Sussex the names of places ending in ly are pronounced with the accent on the last syllable; e.g. West Hoathly, Hellingly, &c. In Gloucestershire, a place written Newland is unexpectedly called Newlànd.
