NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. v. MM, o, 1912.
THOMAS CROMWELL (11 S. iv. 509; v. 37).
- I do not think that the phraseology
of the announcement of the decease of
" The Lady of Thos. Cromwell " in The,
Gentleman's Magazine for 1752 should be
regarded by Miss WILLIAMS as sufficient
proof that the Thomas Cromwell referred to
could not have been the Thomas who died
in 1748.
In those days it was, I believe, no un- common mode of recording, in ' The Annual Register ' and such like "publications, the
decease of a widow ; and seeing that Olive
Cromwell had no great - grandson in thi
male line of the name of Thomas other thai
he who died in 1748, I am of opinion tha
the announcement in question refers to th<
decease of the said Thomas's second wif<
Mary, daughter of Nicholas Skinner.
Upon this supposition, and in answer t< Miss WILLIAMS' s inquiry, I give the follow ing pedigree, which shows the whole of thi descendants known to me of the two mar riages of the aforesaid Thomas.

' LlLLIBULLERO ' (11 S. V. 28, 111).
It is rather extraordinary that in the replies to MR. BRESLAR'S queries, given on pp. Ill and 112, no reference is made to the circum- stance that has done more to direct attention to the ballad in question than anything else in English literature. I refer, of' course, to the fact that ' Lillibullero,' or ' Lilla- bullero ' as Sterne spells it, was the favourite tune of "my uncle Toby," which he whistled on ^all occasions, great and small. Readers j Tnstram Shandy ' will recollect how he is described as " directing the buccinatory muscles along his cheeks, and the ovicular muscles around his lips to do their duty " while he whistled the tune.
The music of the tune, and an account of the ballad, taken from Burnet's ' History of his Own Times ' and King's ' State of the Protestants in Ireland,' 1691, are given in Sterne's ' Works,' vol. i. p. 96 (London,
Sharpe & Son, &c., 1819).

"BARTHOLOMEW WARE" (11 S. v. 130).
As James Howell was one of " the tribe oi
Ben," he was no doubt in agreement with
his chief regarding the degeneracy of the
great festivity which was for seven
centuries a conspicuous feature of London
life. In Jonson's ' Bartholomew Fair,'
although it is concerned with the revelry
rather than the traffic of the gathering, there
is very suggestive evidence as to the cha-
racter of the wares presented. Both Overdo
and Busy are subjected to the exposure
which is the high prerogative of comedy,
yet each in his own way is allowed to indicate
one " enormity " after another. The dis-
guised Justice justifiably exclaims (Act II.
scene i.) : " How is the poor subject abused
here ! " while the other moralist is not
without method as he vehemently exhorts
his hearers thus (Act III. scene i.) :
" The place is Smithfield, or the field of smiths, the grove of hobby-horses and trinkets, the wares
