r able on a capital conviction for highway
bery ; but probably from thankfulness for
escape, and unwillingness to enjoy the money
obtained through the death of others, he olved on applying it to the foundation of a alic school, and payment for the preaching of
annual sermon, commemorative of his de-
irance [The boys] are clothed in blue coat,
istcoat and trowsers, with cap and pair of ads .... The Green-Coat School was founded
1769 by Alderman Newton of Leicester.... he boys] are clothed in green coat, waistcoat i trowsers, with cap and pair of bands."
Mr. Dp.wson's adventure is described by
- n in a contemporaneous letter dated
,n. 5, 1714-15. I believe both schools ve ceased to exist as such, being now under e Educational Authority for the county.

"ARGYLES" OR GRAVY-POTS (12 S.
154,). The origin of this name ia at esent unsolved. In all probability the leffield plate manufacturers were the first introduce these double- jacketed vessels, here are many still to be found made by the der process of plating, though very few i solid silver. The latter generally bear all-marks of the early George III. period.
- is possible that this description derived
s origin from the inventor. However, the lethod of filling an outside lining to contain ot water was frequently adopted when laking sauce boats and teapots, as well as ravy -holders, in former times. Argyles for eeping gravy or sauce hot are still made in oth electro - plate and sterling silver hough not to any considerable extent tiey are very liable to become bruised if nol andled carefully, and are very difficult tc epair satisfactorily.

"Argyles" were named after my great reat - grandfather, John, 5th Duke o irgyll, and I have several tliPat belonged t ,is son George, 6th Duke, who, I believe fas the first person that used them. H ras born in 1766.
I cannot now look at their dates becaus hey are locked up, but will do so later i .esired. CONSTANCE RUSSELL.

LORD ROBERTS : HOUSE IN WHICH HE
DIED (12 S. v. 125). In March, 1915, when
I returned from Switzerland, I brought back
several cuttings and written extracts from
Swiss newspapers. All are concerned with
events of the war. On one extract, I now
find, in pencil, " Rue Carnot, St. Omer,
18/11 /14." As the extract is with reference
o Lord Roberts, the street given above is
vidently correct. HERBERT SOUTHAM.
Lord Roberts' s death took place at No. 2 Rue Carnot, St. Omer.

DEACON IN LOVE (12 S. v. 42, 104, 159). ^he original Latin text of the ' Registrum T >f Thomas de Cantilupe has been printed y the Canterbury and York Society. The passage required is on p. 206 of pt. ix. issued March, 1907), which forms part of" >. 58 of the original. The Latin runs thus : ' Kyngtone, Thomas .... Hugoni de Chalpe- aore, diacono, salutem &....ad ecclesiam de Kyngtone. . . .te caritative admittimus." Dated April 29, 1248.
The extract thus relates to the institution of a certain deacon to a parish church, but aot to a chantry, nor is any thing said about its dedication or its rich endowments. The 3arish church of Kington is still dedicated
- o Our Lady. Was there ever really a
chantry of " Deacon in Love " in the
athedral church of Hereford ? The whole thing seems to be a mistake in the local history of 1845. W. A. B. C.
DAUDET'S ' JACK ' : ILLUSTRATIONS BY MYRBACH (12 S. v. 150). Referring to the supposed discrepancy between the Myrbach drawings and the text, your correspondent asks : " When were Jack's curls cut off ? 5T
Was it not a gradual process ?
After the child's escape from the Gymnase Moronval, and his establishment with his mother and d' Argent on at Etiolles, there is this further reference to them on the occasion of the invitation to breakfast by Madame Rivals : " Charlotte rougit de plaisir, renoua la cravate de F enfant, fit bouffer ses beaux cheveux. ..." (p. 244).
When the scene changes to Indret, " apres les deux annees de liberte et de plein air qu'il venait de passer aux Aulnettes " (p. 312), author and artist are at one : " Ses cheveux blonds, quoique coupes. ..."
My copy bears the Flammarion imprint (Collection Guillaume), and is dated Paris, 1889. HUGH HARTING.
