line, of Aldfield, near Ripon. That they were
identical was the very probable suggestion
first made by the author of 'The Norman
People': but neither he nor Mr. Round
('Feudal England,' p. 518) could have known
anything beyond the fact that two brothers
of these names, sons of an Aldeline, occurred

made further speculations about the descent
of William Fitz Aldeline which are ground-

The following note by Mr. W. Paley Bail- don in 'Yorkshire Inquisitions,' vol. i. p. 283, now clearly indicates that Aldeline was the holder of Thorpe as well as Aldfield :
"Assize Roll, York, 1245-6. John de Curtenay was summoned to warrant to Alexander de Ledeg one third of a knight's fee in Kirkby which Alan de Aldfeud had claimed against him in the court of Roger de Mubray."

dialect, but "jug-handled" appears distinc-
tively American. -POLITICIAN.

SIR HUMPHERY D'WYVILL. Can any one tell me what authority Sir Bernard Burke has for the statement in his ' Landed Gentry ' that " Sir Humphery D'Wyvill was knight of Slingsby Castle, and appears on the Roll of Battle Abbey as one of the companions in arms
of Ralph. Outside the chartulary of Foun- f the Conqueror"? No such name appears

of Thorpe, however, reveals a previous genera-

and in the Duchess of Cleveland's edition of
