NOTES AND QUERIES.

England settlers, did not persecute. Passages relating to the "New England Brethren" in general (whenever written) are, therefore, irrelevant. Most of the Puritan emigrants were undoubtedly bitter heresy-hunters, and for many of them the worst heresy of all was the heresy of toleration; but this has nothing to do with the statement attributed to Mr. Alden, M.P. C. C. B.


St. Katharine's-by-the-Tower (11 S. vii. 201, 310, 376; viii. 35).—The Port of London Authority possess the following:—

(1) Plan of the proposed St. Katharine Docks, designed by Thomas Telford, engineer, and Philip Hard wick, architect. This plan shows the church and all adjacent streets, the proposed dock being marked out by dotted lines.

(2) Large-scale plan ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, 11 July, 1799, showing the free quays at St. Katharine's. This plan is by Ralph Walker, engineer, and is attached to the Second Report (1799) from the Select Committee upon the Improvement of the Port of London.

(3) Photograph of a picture in the British Museum headed 'St. Katharine by the Tower, 1780.' This shows the side elevation of about half of the church, including its tower.

The Whitechapel Reference Library contains the following:—

(4) Church of St. Katharine near Tower (from Gentleman's Magazine, February, 1826).

(5) Gothic altarpiece in the collegiate church of St. Katharine, with the monuments of the Duke of Exeter and of the Hon. G. Montagu, by B. T. Pouncy.

(6) East view of the old cloisters belonging to the collegiate church of St. Katharine near the Tower of London (taken down in July, 1755), by F. Perry, 1764.

(7) Conventualis Ecclesiæ Hospitalis S. Catharine juxta Turrim, London, 1660.

(8) Two bustos in the porch, and the most remarkable basso-relievos on the under part of the seats of the choir of the collegiate church of St. Katharine near the Tower of London (roughly quarter size), by T. Carter, 1790.

(9) View of the remarkable pulpit in the collegiate church of St. Katharine near the Tower of London, by T. Bayly, 1765

I am indebted to the Secretary of the Port of London Authority and to Mr. A. Hawthorne, Chief Librarian to the Borough of Stepney, for the above information. J. Ardagh.


Richard Smith or Smijth of Blackness, near Windsor and Egham, Surrey (11 S. viii. 408).—I find no mention of Richard Smith in the Court Rolls of Egham, nor in the Feet of Fines. A Mr. James Smith was steward of the manor of Egham between 1673 and 1678; he is described as being of Old or New Windsor. James Smith, Esq., was under steward or Recorder of Windsor in 1673. In the Feet of Fines, Easter, 14 C. II., and Mich., 2 William and Mary, James and Christopher Smith are mentioned in connexion with Old Windsor and Egham.

I should be glad to learn the authority for connecting Richard Smith with Egham. Frederic Turner.

    1. "duplicate marriage}}

Case of Duplicate Marriage (11 S. viii. 410, 455).—I should like to put on record a similar instance of the entry of a marriage on the same day in two parish registers, which occurs in those of Goathurst and Broomfield, adjoining parishes in Somerset. In the former is the following entry:—

"1695, March 4. Was married Hopton Windham of Witham Friary and Madam Jane Tynte of Halswell, widow."

In the latter:—

"1695, March 4. Hopton Windham Esqre & Madam Jane Tynte, widow."

In this case the parish churches are some two miles apart, and the bridegroom had no connexion with either parish. The lady was the ward and daughter-in-law of Sir Halswell Tynte, Bart., of Halswell, in the parish of Goathurst, having married as her first husband his second son, Fortescue Tynte, who had died the previous year, aged 21.

It has long been a puzzle to me how this marriage came to be entered in the registers of both the aforesaid parishes, and I am glad to have found a probable solution through the ever-resourceful pages of my old friend 'N. & Q.' {{float right|Cross-Crosslet.}]

"28 Jany., 1558/9. George Bellowst & Denyce Welshe."—'Kent Parish Registers,' Phillimore, vol. ii. p. 94, 'Staplehurst.'

In Hythe Church Register, and also in Cheriton Register, the marriage occurs of Zouch Brockman to Elizabeth Collard, 3 Aug., 1657.

I have seen other instances, but have not noted them. R. J. Fynmore.

Grillion's Club (11 S. vii. 349, 390, 474; viii. 57).—Since writing my reply (ante, p. 57) I have asked Miss Ellinor Wilson Patten whether her father, the late Lord Winmarleigh, was a member of Grillion's Club. He was, and was a frequent
