WET HAY (11 S. ii. 469, 535). It will
probably surprise many, and especially all
such as have a kindly regard for the dog as the
friend of man, to hear that " wet hay, rather
than dry hay, is the ordinary furnishing
of a dog-kennel." Their astonishment will
be intensified when they learn further that
the treatment of a noble animal implied in
this statement is deliberate and habitual.
" Exposure to moist atmosphere," we are
told, " will soon render hay damp enough.
It is not very often renewed, being con-
sidered good enough for a dog." One
wonders what will be thought of state-
ments of this kind by owners and keepers,
from the shepherd with his collie and the
collier with hip, lurcher to the lady who
pampers her lapdog and the managers of such
kennels as those of the Beaufort and Quorn
hunts. Those .unfamiliar with the dog and
his ways may overlook the fact that he is
delicate as well as faithful and energetic, and
that rheumatism is one of the troubles
that would inevitably disable him if he were
constantly doomed to rest on damp hay.

EUSEBY CLEAVER, ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN (11 S. ii. 489). Archbishop Cleaver married Catherine, daughter of the Right Hon. Owen Wynne, M.P., of Hazlewood, co. Sligo, by the Hon. Anne Maxwell, daughter of John, 1st Lord Farnham, and sister of Robert, Earl of Farnham. The prerogative marriage licence between Euseby Cleaver of Dublin, D.D., and Catherine Wynne of St. Michan's, Dublin, is dated 28 April, 1788. Brady (' Records of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross,' iii. 81) says they were married in May. The marriage almost certainly took place at St. Michan's. HENRY B. SWANZY.

JOHN COSTON IN ST. BOTOLPH'S, ALDERS- GATE (11 S. ii. 485). It may not be out of place to give a copy of the inscription which stood on the " S. side of the entrance to the Chancel " in St. Botolph's Church in 1708 :

ALFRED CHAS. JONAS.
NOTTINGHAM MONASTERY NOT IN DUGDALE (11 S. ii. 468). The passage referred to is evidently the following :
" Titulus Ecclesie Sancte Trinitatis de Notyng- ham. Anima ejus et anime omnium ndelium defunctorum requiescant in pace. Amen. Orate pro nostris Hugone (pr.), Lamberto (pr.), Walterio (mo.), Radulfo (mo.), Willielmo (mo.), Roberto (mo.), Walterio (mo.), et pro ceteris."
The reviewer uses the term " a founda- tion." S.
My inquiry on this subject has been courteously replied to direct by a gentle- man connected with the Public Record Office. It incidentally appears that (as I had previously surmised) the reviewer I quoted had not unnaturally arrived at an erroneous conclusion. The text of the French roll of circa 1120 refers to the " Church of the Holy Trinity of Notting- ham." We have, however, parallel evi- dences testifying that this was but an early appellation of the great priory, of like dedica- tion, at Lenton, on the confines of the
