WINN. Aldeburgh, Suffolk. (To be continued.} Loms DE ROUGEMENT. The Evening News of June 10 states that : A man named Louis Redmond, better known as Louis de Bougemont, died late last night in the Kensington Infirmary. . . . He lived at an address in Queen's-gate Gardens, Kensing- ton, S.W., and was admitted to the infirmary a few days ago. Many readers will remember the hoax he played, and the wonderful story he wrote about his adventures among Austra- lian aborigines, &c., which appeared in some magazine in 1898. The newspaper report proceeds : De Bougemont's real name was Henry (Henri ?) Louis Grin, one who knew his family told a Daily Mail reporter. He was born at Gressy, a village in the Canton de Vaud, French Switzer- land, on November 9, 1847. I cannot find this village on the large scale map of the above canton. I lived in the canton for nearly six years and made many walking tours in the same. It is possible that it may be some small hamlet near Rougement, in the Pays d'Enhaut. The Times of June 15, under 'News in Brief,' has the following paragraph : Louis de Rougemont was buried at Kensal Green Boman Catholic Cemetery yesterday. The inscription on the coffin gave his name aa "Louis Bedman" and his age as 74. I give this note, as, in the future, some- body may desire information. HERBERT SOUTHAZM. Loxley House, Woking. CHEESE SUPPLIED TO THE ARMY, 1650-1. It appears from the ' Calendar of State Papers ' that the Army in Ireland and Scotland at this period was supplied with Cheshire and Suffolk cheeses, sup- plemented by Dutch cheese. Among the payments recorded are the following : April 16, 1650. " 15 tons of Cheshire cheese for the army in Ireland," with the note : " It is necessary to hasten over the cheese, it being a perishable commodity." Dec. 2, 1)550. The last moiety of 120 tons of Suffolk cheese for the Army in Scotland. Dec. 9, 1650. In part for 300 tons of Cheshire cheese for the Army in Scotland. May 7, 1651. 300 tons Cheshire cheese. April 2, 1651. 100 tons Cheshire cheese and 100 tons Suffolk cheese. May 5, 1651. 100 tons Cheshire cheese. June 19, 1651. 100 tons Cheshire cheese and 100 tons Suffolk cheese. July 1, 1651. 330 tons Cheshire cheese. This list is incomplete, the ' Calendar of State Papers ' having only been glanced through, but it indicates that at that period a good supply of Cheshire and Suffolk cheeses was available. R. HEDGER WALLACE. THE PSEUDONYM " JACOB LARWOOD." * In my article on this subject (12 S. vii. 441) I said that I had been unable to identify L. R. Sadler, stated by certain bibliographers to be the real name of " Jacob Larwood." I am now informed by Mme. Guyot that her step -brother, Van Schevichaven, had adopted this name as a pseudonym before finally fixing on " Jacob Larwood." Mme. Guyot still remembers Van Sche- vichaven's surprise and indignation at Hotten's assumption of joint-authorship of ' The History of Sign-boards,' and she
