GEORGE BAKER, OXFORD PRIZEMAN. George Baker, who matriculated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1794, won the Chancellor's prize for Latin verse (' Classis Britannica') in 1795, and graduated Master of Arts in 1802 I should be grateful for par- ticulars of his later career, which is not given in Foster's ' Alumni Oxon.' He was son of the Rev. Philip Baker, and was baptized at Michelmersh, Hants, on 25 Feb., 1777.
VOWELS ON MONUMENT. What is the interpretation of the vowels A. E. I. O. U. at the end of the inscription on one of the altar-tombs of the Petres at Ingatestone, Essex? R. J. FYNMORE.

SIR WILLIAM LEACH. In Evelyn's ' Diary ' is a mention of the purchase of the estate of Squerries, Westerham, by Sir John Evelyn
for his son-in-law, Leach. I should be
glad to know if this Sir William Leach left a daughter Hester, who subsequently married Col. Miller, of the Guards, who was living in 1714. P. M.
SIR T. BROWNE'S DAUGHTER AND HER DESCENDANTS. In the pedigree of SirThomas Browne drawn up by Simon Wilkin ( k Works,' vol. i., 1836) is the following :
" 12 (child). Frances, bap. Sep. 5, 1662, survived her father [Sir T. B.], and supposed to have married Bosville, Esq., of , co. York."
Can any one tell me in what part of York- shire this family lived, and who is its repre- sentative? CHAS. WILLIAMS.
CANDLEWICK OR C A NDLEWRIGHT STREET.
I shall be pleased to learn if the corruption
into Canning (Pepys, 2 Sept., 1G66) and
Cannon Street has been explained. There is
probably some reason why the name of the
Ward should be unaltered, while that of its
principal thoroughfare should so change as
to lose all value for indicating a trade loca-
tion. Reference to any discussion of the
subject will be appreciated.

ABELARD'S VISION OF HELL. St. Leonard of Port Maurice mentions that Peter Abe- lard was converted by a vision of hell in which he saw devils building a house to which only one brick was wanting the' house being destined for Peter Abelard if he committed one more sin. Who is the earliest author in whom this story is found ? F. C. W.
THOMAS PERKS. I have a small engraving, six inches by five. It represents a cowering individual surrounded by a crowd of evil- looking forms. The title runs : ' Thomas Perks raising a Spirit to his own Destruc- tion. Engraved on steel by Rothwell from a drawing by Fuseli [the last name doubtful]. London, John Bennett, Three Tun Passage, Ivy Lane, Paternoster Row."
I should be glad of any information con- cerning this print or its legend. Who was Thomas Perks ? INQUIRER.
STEEMSON AND CLIFFE FAMILIES : THORNE QUAY. Can any of your readers add to the following note in a family Bible 1
"Thomas Steemson married Susanna, daughter
of J Cliffe, on 29th Dec., 1792, and had issue :
(i) Susana-Maria, born 1 Sept., 1799, at Thome Quay, (ii) Mary-Stauiland, born 26th Dec., 1800, at Thome Quay."
The surname Steemson is surely very un- common. Where is Thorne Quay 1
