general bill of fare to our whole entertainment, but shall likewise give the reader particular bills to every course which is to be served up in this and the ensuing volumes."

Perhaps some writer has condescended to take a hint from Fielding. Unfortunately no date or reference is added in the query. EDWARD BENSLY.

The lines sought by H. H. T. C. (ante, p. 68), We shall see them, we shall know them, in the

fullness of the time,

In the glorious new creation, in the everlasting clime,

are, with the slight change of " I " to " we," the first two lines of a piece of mine entitled ' The Holy Catholic Church,' and will be found on p. 209 of my ' Lyra Christi,' pub- lished by Houlston & Sons, or on p. 35 of 'Cassell's Illustrated Book of Sacred Poems/ edited by the late Rev. R. H. Baynes.

C. LAWRENCE FORD. 21, Sydney Buildings, Bath.

C. BARRON, 19, PALL MALL (10 S. x. 69). In the course of inquiries in connexion with a history of Pall Mall and the Haymarket about a year ago, I ascertained that C. Barren was the founder of the old business of " Italian warehousemen and wine-mer- chants " carried on to the present day under the style of A. Cobbett & Son, 18 and 19, Pall Mall. Barren, before this, was a partner in the extremely old Italian warehouse in the Haymarket of Messrs. Barto Valle. An old shopbill of Cobbett's (Mr. Cobbett was related, if distantly, to William Cobbett, the political writer) shows that the firm was known as A. Cobbett & Son so far back as 1846, about which time, or a little before, Barron appears to have established the " warehouse." J. HOLDEN MACMICHAEL.

OXFORD COMMEMORATION IN 1759 (10 S. x. 6). The Latin- verse writers of the eighteenth century who made the penulti- mate vowel of Academia short had the authority of Claudian (' De Cons. Mall. Theod.,' 94 : "In Latium spretis Academia migrat Athenis " ) and of Apollonius Sidonius. JOHN B. WAINE WRIGHT.

THE ' D.N.B.' : ADDITIONS AND CORREC- TIONS (10 S. ix. 182, 231, 272, 313, 372, 410, 473, 516 ; x. 58). Ballard, John. Dr. Venn in his ' History of Gonville and Cams College,' i. 66, writes :

"Ballard, John: of Wratting ('Tollewratting'), Suffolk : son of William Ballard, mediocris fortunw. School, Elmdon, three years. Age 17. Admitted pensioner, Jan. 18, 1569/70. Tutor and surety,


Dr. Edwards, fellow. Assigned the fourth lower cubicle. B.A. (King's), 1574-5. Doubtless the seminary priest executed for complicity in Babing- ton's plot; as he is described as a Cambridge graduate on his arrival at Douay College, Nov. 27, 1579.

Dean, William. Dr. Venn (op. cit., i. 94)' writes as follows, the passages within brackets being my own additions, mainly on the authority of vols. ii. and v. of the Catholic Record Society :

" Deane, William : son of Thomas Deane, medio- cris fortunee. Born at Grassington [in the parish of Linton in Craven], Yorkshire. Schools, Leeds and Clitheroe? ('Cletherall'), Lancashire, four years. At Magdalene College two years. Age 20. Admitted pensioner minor, tertii ordinis, Nov. 4, 1577. Assigned a cubicle with his surety, Mr. R. Draper, M, A., fellow. Probably [almost certainly] the seminary priest and martyr, described as of [Linton in Craven,] Yorkshire, [and son of a tenant of Richard Norton, who lost all his lands for his share in the rebellion of 1569], [and, after serving the cure of Monk -Fry stone as a Protestant minister, was reconciled to the Church by Thomas Alfield in May or June, 1581, and arrived at the English College at Rheims from Douay July 9, 1581, and was ordained priest Dec. 21, 1581. ] Sent to Eng- land Jan. 25, 1581/2. [Arrested in London after he had said some six or seven Masses there. Com- mitted to Newgate Feb. 21, 1581/2. Indicted with four other priests Feb. 5, 1583/4 ; in the Clink April 8, 1584.] Banished [Jan. 21, 1584/5, with nineteen other priests and one layman, being shipped at the Tower Wharf on board the Mary Martin of Colchester. Landed at Boulogne Feb. 2. Returned to Rheims. Started for England again Nov. 21, 1585.] [Apprehended and committed to the Gatehouse before March, 1587/8.] Tried and condemned Aug. 22, 1588, as a priest ordained abroad [and coming into, or remaining in, the kingdom contrary to the provisions of 27 Eliz. c. 2.] Executed at Mile End, Aug. 28, 1588. ' Vir morum gravitate et doctrina conspicuus.'"

Finglow, John. Dr. Venn (op. cit., i. 76) writes :

" Fingley, John : matriculated sizar, Dec. 1573. Born at Barnby, Yorkshire. Afterwards a seminary priest and martyr. Admitted at Douay College, Feb. 13, 1579/80. Ordained sub-deacon Feb. 21, 1580/1 ; and priest at Rheims by the Bp. of Chalons, March 25, 1581. Sent to England Ap. 24, 1581, about the same time as Ed. Osburne. Apprehended and committed to York gaol ; tried there ; and hanged and quartered Aug. 8, 1586. He appears to have resided three years or more in college, and his real character seems to have been at once suspected by the fellows. He was at first sizar to Hugh Cressy, and afterwards appointed butler by Dr. Legge, an office usually held by a scholar. He was the subject of violent complaints against the master by the anti-Romish party in college. * That the said Finglye was made butler* by the master without


  • Dr. Venn adds this note : " The butler was a

college officer who ranked with the scholars, and should have been appointed, like them, by the master and fellows together."
