SHACKLEWELL : ITS LOCALITY. The Refer- ence Library in Bath contains the New Testament in Portuguese printed by T. Butt, in " Shacklewell : 1811." The name of this place appears again at the foot of the last page in the book. Where was Shacklewell ? Its name is not in the Gazetteers available in that library. Might it have been " Shackerwel," which occurs as part of the hundred of " Osulston," in the county of " Midlesex,"' on p. 309 of the " Index Villaris :. . . .By Mr. Adams of the

Inner -Temple. London : 1680 " ?

[Shacklewell is a district in the present borough of Hackney, and is named on Bartholomew's ' Sectional Map of London ' (section 4) included in the ' A.B.C. Guide to London,' 1912, and on ' Kelly's Map of the Suburbs of London ' (Kelly's Directories). Shacklewell is recorded by Lysons (' Environs of London,' 1792, vol. ii. p. 450) as one of the hamlets of Hackney, along with Clapton, Dalston, and others, and is no doubt Adams's " Shackerwel." The hundred of Ossul- ston included the manors of Stepney, Stoke Newington, St. Pan eras, and Haggerston. Messrs. Eyre & Spottiswoode, the King's Printers, have had for many years an office for printing Bibles at Shacklewell Lane, and it is probable that Butt's New Testament was produced there, though he is named as the printer. Perhaps he took the financial responsibility for the trans- lation.]

STANESBY FAMILY. I should be very glad of information about this family. A Richard Stanesby was bailiff to Henry, Earl of Essex, at Bildeston, in the hundred of Cosford, Suffolk, about 1534, and had a son Robert. A Robert Stanesby married Elizabeth Harris at Micheldever, Hants, in 1543, and the family owned a manor there for the next 140 years. There may be a connexion between the Cosford Stanesbys and the Micheldever Stanesbys. The Micheldever family was entitled to arms at any rate by 1617. I should be very glad to know what arms the family bore.

" WATER-PIPES," PSALM XLII. 9, PRAYEK BOOK VERSION. The wording of this verse (counting as the 7th in the Authorized Version) seems somewhat curious : " One deep calleth another, because of the noise of the water-pipes," &c. The Hebrew here translated "water-pipes" is given as " water-spouts " in the A.V., in the R.V., and in some others.

The point is what in 1535 was understood by the word " water-pipes " ? Water in England was, I suppose, then conveyed in wooden pipes. W. S. B. H.

JOHN DWERRYHOUSE, CLOCKMAKER. An Act of Parliament clock by John Dwerry- house, Berkeley Square, was lately adver- tised in London. Which house in the square did he occupy ? To what part of the kingdom does the surname belong, and does it still exist ?

JANE SOPHIA PIGOTT. Can any corre- spondent give me the parentage or ancestry of Jane Sophia Pigott, authoress of the hymn " Lord Jesus, Thou dost keep Thy child," No. 185 in 'Songs of Victory, com- piled by A. W. Bell ?

MEDAL : PEACE OP AMIENS, 1801. Was the medal described below (of brass, size of a shilling) struck officially to celebrate this short-lived peace, or by what individual or society ? Obverse shows a wharf with shipping, a sheaf of corn, bale of goods, and cask labelled " To France," cornucopia in foreground, and dove with olive-branch flying over all.
