Parish Dinners (10 S. ix. 306).—This note can be supplemented from 'The Medieval Records of the City Church St. Mary at Hill' (E.E.T.S. No. 125). A useful criterion of the prices is that during the years mentioned (1509-11) the regular day's pay of an artisan "and his man" (masons, tilers, daubers, &c.) was 1s. 1d., viz., 9d. and 4d., or 8½d. and 4½d.:—
"A Soper to ——— and ——— for the Arbetryng betwene the parissh and ——— about þe belles: for Motton, a shulder, iijd.; Conys, vd.; iiij chekyns, vjd.; a Capon, xxd.; brede, ale, wyne and Beer, xxjd.—Sum ma totallis, iiijs. vijd."
Another:—
"Paid for Mr. ——— and Mr. ——— dyner in Mr. Aldreman's place:—for a pyke, xxijd.; for a Iowle of fressh samon, xxijd.; for iij playse, xijd.; oysters, jd.; brede, ale, wyne, and perys, xixd. Summa, vjs. iiijd."

Summa, vijs. jd."
I add, under date 1529:—
"Paid for ij lampreys for Mr. parson, xxd.; paid for wyne for our lady alter Mas for the hole yere, þat is to say, for iiij galons of Malmesey, vs. iiijd., and for ij quartes of Redwyne, vd. Summa, vs. ixd."
GEORGE MONOUX (10 S. viii. 10, 90, 133,
214, 434, 496; ix. 431). Burke's 'Extinct
Baronetage,' 2nd ed., p. 363, has the follow-
ing :
" George Monnoux, esq r , who was eight years old 30 th Henry VIII. He married the Hon. Elizabeth, eldest daughter of John, second Lord Mordaunt."
A foot-note states :
" This gentleman had granted to him by Harvey, Clarencieux, 10 th June, 1561, by the designation of George Monrioux of Walthamstow, nephew and heir of Sir George Monnoux, Knt., a confirmation of the coat of his said uncle, which was granted by Wriothesley, Garter, and Benoite, Clarencieux." A reference to the grant of confirmation to the nephew might settle the question. R. J. FYNMORE.
ROGER NORTH'S LIFE OF HIS BROTHER (10 S. ix. 201). MR. ALMACK'S interesting communication locates the whereabouts of the extensive collection of documents concerning Lord Keeper North, Baron Guil- ford. These ten volumes must be those which were sold by Leigh Sotheby on 6 Feb., 1838, the catalogue description occupying two pages. They then formed (lot 600) part of the library of the Rev. Edward
Roger North, and it may be assumed that
they had not previously been out of the
possession of the North family. The suc-
cessive ownership of Uie ten volumes since
the sale in 1838 is doubtless easily traced :
I rather think that they were in one of the
Phillipps dispersals, but as my set of these
catalogues is in the binder's hands I cannot
verify this at the present moment.

BURIAL-GROUND OF ST. GEORGE'S, HAN- OVER SQUARE, BAYSWATER ROAD (10 S. x. 8). Last year I had occasion to visit this place, and learnt from the attendant at the renovated chapel that note of the in- scriptions was made at the time of trans- forming the ground for public use as a garden. The memoranda (in the attend- ant's keeping, though at the moment not at hand) had not then been written out in precise order ; possibly this may have since been done, as the record is valu- able. Many interments, however, having been in the vault under the chapel, record of these can only be found in the parish registers, which, as regards burials, have not, I think, yet been printed.

THE PIED PIPER IN ISPAHAN (10 S. ix. 348). I doubt whether it can be inferred from the false Orientalism of M. Gueulette that any story about the Pied Piper has existed in Ispahan. He wrote when imita- tions of the ' Arabian Nights ' were popular ; and he takes his stories from any source. In one of his books he borrows from Stra- parola, and, so far as I can remember, the chief alteration that he makes is in changing
