There is never a Maid in London City
In my conceit is like my 7>V////,
She is so handsome in her favour
I think myself a-blest to have her."
So to conclude, I wish each Lover
To prove so constant to each other,
As those two did of whom I 'me speaking :
There need not be so much heart-breaking.

CARTWRIGHT (9 th S. viii. 185). In answer t
the query by L. J. C., I can give the follow
ing pedigree, which may assist him. Thoma
Cartwright bought Hall o' Lee, in the paris
of Church Lawton, Cheshire, from the Legl
family of Adlington, and it was in his posses
sion 12 Dec., 1659. His son John Cartwright
of Hall o' Lee, had a son John Cartwright
of Hall o' Lee, who married, 2 Sept., 1686
Elizabeth, daughter of Collins Wobuck
alderman of Shrewsbury, and died 6 March
1718, aged fifty -nine. He was succeeded
by his only son, - the Rev. John Cart
wright, M.A., vicar of Middle wich (presented
13 July, 1719) and rector of St. Mary's in
Chester (presented 1 April, 1724). The Rev
John Cartwright (will dated 14 Nov., 1729
and proved 8 July, 1731), who was chaplain
to Theophilus, Earl of Huntingdon, had by
his wife Grace, eldest daughter of the Rev.
Thomas Welles, M.A., vicar of Sandbach, an
only son, Thomas Cartwright, of Sandbach
attorney, who succeeded to Hall o' Lee. He
married Elizabeth Kriowles (died 3 Dec., 1824,
aged ninety-three ; buried at Sandbach), of
Bud worth and Crowley, Cheshire, and by her
had one son, John Cartwright, of Hall o' Lee
(bapt. Sandbach, 29 July, 1757 ; died 4 Aug.,
1817, unmarried ; buried at Sandbach), and
several daughters, the eldest of whom, Eliza-
beth Cartwright, married William Hilditch,
of Wheelock, on 17 Sept., 1775, at Sandbach,
and died 24 Aug., 1780, aged twenty-four.
Her eldest son, Thomas Hilditch, left a sole
heiress, Mary, wife of the Rev. Thomas
Hodges, M.A., whose grandson, Mr. Thomas
Clayton Toler, B.A., J.P., lives at Hockerley
House, near Stockport. The above informa-
tion is chiefly derived from Mr. Toler's notes
on the family, which he kindly lent me some
time ago. The Cartwright property and
deeds descended to his mother. There are
also references to several members of the
family in Earwaker's ' History of Sandbach.'
ALEYN LYELL READE. Park Corner, Blundellsands, near Liverpool.
L. J. C. will find several references to this family in the ' History of the Ancient Parish
of Sandbach,' published privately by my late
friend John Parsons Earwaker, M.A., F.S.A,
in 1890. A John Cartwright was baptized at
Sandbach on 29 July, 1759 ; he was son of
Thomas Cartwright, gentleman, of Sandbach,
who was son of the Rev. John Cartwright,
vicar of Middlewich. This clergyman had
three other children, all daughters. He was
also rector of St. Mary's, Chester, from 1724
to 1731. There were Cartwrights baptized
at the chapelry of Goostrey in Sandbach
parish in 1687. It might also be worth while
to consult Mr. Earwaker's 'East Cheshire'
and * History of St. Mary's, Chester.'

MERLIN (9 th S. viii. 103, 234). By a curious mishap I did not see until four weeks after date the Times of Monday, 26 August, other- wise I should have added to my note at the last reference that Sir George Bird wood con- tributed a long and interesting letter on the subject of Merlin to the Times of that day. Doubtless MR. MARSTON has seen this letter, which confirms my doubts as to the existence of such an edition as that mentioned in the original inquiry. W. ROBERTS.

"IN THE DAYS WHEN WE WENT GIPSYING"
(9 th S. viii. 15, 211). The first parody quoted s by J. R. Planche, and is given in ' Jeux
d 'Esprit,' collected and edited by H. S. Leigh Chatto & Windus), 1879. Planche's words
are slightly different from those given by the
REV. J. WOODFALL EBSWORTH.

"WENT "(9 th S. viii. 40, 214). Four cross oads in this parish (Aldenham) were called
the Four Want Ways," and they retain the
ame, though one road was closed in 1803, a
! ootpath remaining to justify it. I have
magined that " want " was an error for
ALDENHAM.
THE 'MARSEILLAISE' (9 th S. viii. 61, 126,
87, 245). MR. KARL BLIND puts aside rather
ivalierly mv reference to the remark of
le little judge in 'Pickwick 'as irrelevant,
think, however, that it applies perfectly to
le statement that "a soldier had recognized
German mass in Swabia as being in the main the tune of the ' Marseillaise.' " What
