THOMAS BBITTON. I have a copy of ' The Dramatic Chronology to 1849,' by William Henry Oxberry, which is interleaved and profusely annotated, and added to in manu- script, apparently by some one named as above, his address, " 27, Richard Street, Liverpool Road," being also written in. The annotations, &c., carry the printed work on to October, 1852, and the writer of the MS. seems to have had extensive, and in some instances minute, acquaintance with both past and contemporary figures of the stage. The name of Thomas Britton does not appear in the lists, and I should be glad of informa- tion as to who and what he was.

JOSEPH BBANWELL. Is anything known of the man of this name of " Thamar Terrace, Launceston, Cornwall," to whom (according to Mr. Shorter in his book ' The Brontes and their Circle ') Charlotte Bronte directed one of her wedding cards to be sent ? The spelling of the name of the terrace, by the way, should be "Tamar," as it is built on an eminence overlooking the valley of the river dividing Devon and Cornwall.

In Palmer's ' Nonconformist's Me- morial,' 1775, vol. ii. p. 165, there is an inter- esting account, drawn up by himself, of several actions against him in the Spiritual Courts between 1665 and 1685.
