THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, THE SHERIFF, AND VENTILATION. In a newspaper lately I saw an account of Lord Chief Justice Cock- burn fining a Sheriff 500/. for closing a window which had been opened for ventila- tion. No dates or places are given, and the incident is not referred to in the life of the Lord Chief Justice in the ' D.N.B.'

May I ask any reader of ' N. & Q.' the name of the Sheriff and the place where the incident happened ? E. R.

AISHE AND GORGES FAMILIES. Collinson, in his ' History of Somerset,' vol. ii. p. 317, states that

" John Aishe, Esq., of Chelvey Manor, married Isabel, daughter of Sir Edward Gorges, Kt., of Wraxall, and sister of Anne, wife of Edward Tynte, Esn , who purchased this manor of John Aishe, and was buried in the parish church." In the ' Historical and Genealogical Register' for January, 1875, there appeared a pedigree of the Gorges family compiled by the late Rev. Frederick Brown, M.A., F.S.A. (for- merly rector of Nailsea, Somerset), but in it there is no record of this marriage. Is there any other authority for it than Collin- son ? D. K. T.

SIR THOMAS MIDDLETON. Can any corre- spondent of ' N. & Q.' give me the lineage of Sir Thomas Middleton and the name of his wife, by whom he had a daughter Con- stantia Middleton, married first to Sir Roger Burgoyne, Bart., and secondly to Chris- topher, son of Sir Christopher Wren.

WM. JACKSON PIGOTT.

W. J. LINTON : HENRY LINTON. I have some early volumes of The Magazine of Art (1854), some of the woodcuts being signed W. J. Linton and some Henry Linton. Can you tell me whether the latter was related to W. J. Linton, or give me any information about him ? T. W.

[Dr. Garnett in his notice of W. J. Linton in the Supplement to the ' D.N.B.' says that Henry Duff Linton was William's younger brother, and associated with him in many of his earlier pro- ductions.]

JOHN NIANDSER, c. 1414. I should be glad to add to my knowledge of a mediaeval worthy (or im-worthy !) named Niandser, Neanser, Nyauncer, &c., who comes under notice in Stow's 'Chronicles' in connexion with the murder of John de Tibbay, Arch- deacon of Huntingdon and Chancellor to Queen Joan, the affair taking place in the neighbourhood of this church in 1414. According to a note in the ' Testamenta Eboracensia,' iii. 40, Niandser was husband


of Margaret, the widow of Roger, Lord Scrope of Bolton. He is styled esquire, of co. Nottingham, in a reference on the Patent Roll of 1410, though a reference of 1414 (one of two in connexion with his forfeiture for the a ove and another crime of violence) names him (as John Niandesergh) as of Niandesergh, Westmorland, esquire also.

WILLIAM McMuRRAY. St. Anne and St. Agnes, Gresham Street, E.C.

SIR JOHN HARE, eldest son of John Hare of Abbotsley, Hunts, was called to the bar at the Middle Temple 17 June, 1647. Who was his mother, and when did he die ?

G. F. R. B.

THOMAS HAWES became Rector of Chilton Foliatt, Wilts, in 1709. I wish to ascertain the date of his death, and should be glad to know if he held any other preferments.

G. F. R. B.

HEMINGTON. Henry and George Reming- ton were admitted to Westminster School in 1724, aged 10 and 8 respectively. Can correspondents of ' N. & Q.' help me to identify them ? G. F. R. B.

JULIUS (? JULINES) HERING was admitted to Westminster School in October, 1720, aged 11. Any information about him would be of use. G. F. R. B.

LANGLEY HILL was admitted to West- minster School in September, 1722, aged 7. Particulars of his parentage and career, and the date of his death, are required.

G. F. R. B,

"BURWAY." On the Surrey side of the Thames, opposite Laleham, Middlesex, is a tract of land known as Laleham Burway ; it contains some ancient earthworks, Roman or British. What is the meaning of " Bur- way " ? FREDERIC TURNER.

Egham.

EDWARD JENNER, M.D., AND THOMAS JENNER, D.D. In a catalogue of Jenner memorials collected by Mr. F. Mockler, and exhibited at Bristol in 1893, it is stated :

" There are six half-length oil portraits. That of Thomas Jenner, President of Magdalen College, Oxford, ancestor of Edward, is very well executed probably by Kneller or one of his pupils. Then there are portraits of his sister, Elizabeth ; his nieces,. Mary and Elizabeth ; his son, the Rev. Stephen Jenner, Vicar of Berke^ ley ; and of his son, the illustrious Dr. Edward Jenner, the great discoverer."

The published pedigree of Jenner does not show any connexion between the two
