entries of baptisms and burials of that ancient Independent congregation, covering the years 1700 to 1836. From its pages I extract these :

" TAPING SHOOS " : TRELEIGH CHURCH HO S. vii. 206, 259, 498). Referring to MR. HEMS'S explanation of his errors respecting Treleigh Church, Cornwall, I venture to protest against statements being made in

  • N. & Q.' on the authority of such works as

Kelly's directories, the compilers of which will probably be surprised to find them- selves regarded as authorities on church architecture. As a matter of fact, however, even Kelly has not fallen into the error attributed to it by MR. HEMS : it speaks of the church as " a building of stone, in the Perpendicular style," which is a very different statement, though equally in- correct. YGREC.

CHARM FOR BURGLARS (10 S. vii. 426). Either H. P. L. or the reporter did not follow your motto. The use of the peppermint was to deaden the sound of coughing a very different matter.

SIR ANTHONY COOKE'S WIFE (10 S. vii. 490). The statement in the ' D.N.B.,' xxxi. 106, as to Catherine Killigrew's mother is inaccurate. Sir Anthony Cooke, made a


Knight of the Bath in 1547, married Anne, daughter of Sir William FitzWilliam, as stated in ' D.N.B.,' xii. 76. It was his grandson Anthony, who was made a Knight in 1596, who married Avis or Alice or Ann, the daughter of Sir William Waldegrave. See Harleian Soc. Publ., xiii. 122, 199, 382. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.

In ' Illustrations of Jack Cade's Rebellion,' by B. B. Orridge, F.G.S., 1869, there is a pedigree of the Cooke family. Sir Anthony of Gidea Hall, Essex, who died 1576, married Anne, daughter of Sir William FitzWilliam ; their grandson Sir Anthony, who died 1604, married Avise, dau. of Sir William Walde- grave. Katherine, third dau. of the first Sir Anthony and Anne, married at St. Peter- le-Poer, London, 4 Nov., 1565, Sir Henry Killegrew. R. J. FYNMORE.

THE EARLIEST CRICKET REPORT (10 S. vii. 441). The following extract, from a rare (posthumous) work attributed to Thomas D'Urfey, throws a little light on our national pastime in its infancy. The brochure is entitled ' Dancing Devils, or the Roaring Dragon : a Dumb Farce. As it was lately acted at both Houses, but particularly at one, with Unaccountable Success ' (London, A. Bettesworth, 1724, 8vo, pp. 70) :

Near barren fields, where honour dwells Disgrac'd with rotten posts and rails Which long have fenc'd that spacious square Where Bawds and Bailiffs take the air, And crippl'd Rogues with fronts of brass Implore the aid of all that pass ; Where loit'ring Vagabonds by day Walk, gaze, and starve their hours away, And Bullies wrangle in the night With money'd Rakes that fear to fight ; Where Players often take their turns To con their parts in Summer morns, And broken Gam esters stroll to meet Some Cully that will lend or treat ; Where neighb'ring Porters reel about When gorg d with Winchesters of stout.

Where Butchers often have a call To Cricket, Boxing, or Trap- ball ; And where, when they in Summer curse The flies, and sultry weather worse, They drop at night their stinking Veal

And other meats too rank for sale

The spot referred to is perhaps Lincoln's Inn Fields. WILLIAM JAGGARD.

"BELLAMY'S" (10 S. i. 169, 352, 518). Allusions in literature to " Bellamy's," aeyond those given or indicated at previous references, are to be found if looked for, and anything like a complete history of this long-
