CHARLES ASHTON, DJD., Master of Jesus College, Cambridge. Who were his parents ? Where did he die in March, 1752 ? Was he ever married ? The 'D.N.B.,' ii. 175, does not supply the desired information. G. F. R. B. EVANS.

In the supplement to Burke's 'Landed Gentry' (1853) it is stated that Robert Beadon (brother of Richard Beadon, Bishop of Bath and Wells) " perished on board the Prince George packet which was burnt in Plymouth Sound." I shall be grateful if any reader of ' N. & Q.' can give me the date and further particulars of this disaster ? PUNCH AND JUDY. Having heard that the names Punch and Judy are a corruption of Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot, and are derived from a medieval mystery play, 1 should be glad to know the legend and the names of books dealing with the subject. I have found books on the medieval legends of Judas Iscariot, but not in any way con- necting him with Punch and Judy. SHEELAH READE.
