form (not translated from the language of Wil-
frid into that of JElfred), it is as follows :
" Oft daedlata ddmae foreldit sigisitha gahuetn, suuiltit thiana."
Your correspondent's readings are inaccurate where they differ from mine, which are taken from a MS. nearly contemporary with Wilfrid himself.

The Cotton Family (2 nd S. i. 250. 298.) If MR. BEDE is desirous of further perfecting the Cotton pedigree, the following inscription from a slab within the altar-rails of this church may be acceptable to him :
" The lamented remains of Mary y e loving and beloved wife of Jonathan Symonds, Esq r ., daughter of William Cotton, of Cotton in y e county of Chester, Esq r ., fourth son of S r Thomas Cotton, of Great Cunington, in Hunt- ingtonshire, Baronet. JE. S. 46., ob. 25 th of March, 1717."
Arms. Symonds, impaling azure an eagle dis- played arg armed gu. \
This William Cotton appears to be the William of Cotton Holme, Cheshire, mentioned by I;. B. L., p. 298., who married Mary, daughter of Robert Pulleyn, rector of Thurleston, Leicestershire.
The family of Symonds, of Norfolk, dates from a very early period. They were first seated at Suffield, afterwards at Yarmouth, where a series of their monuments and hatchments extends over a period of nearly two centuries, and latterly at Ormesby, from whence their last descendants re- moved to London a few years since.

I feel much indebted to the courtesy of LORD MONSON and other correspondents for having so fully answered my Queries relative to the Cotton family. My chief mistake has arisen from a slight error that had crept into my notes, through which I was led to attribute the likeness by Cornelius Jansen to the daughter instead of to the mother. The portrait is not that of Margaret Howard, the wife of Sir John Cotton, but of Elizabeth Dacre, the wife of Lord William Howard. She died Oct. 20, 1639; and, as there is a portrait of her at Naworth, inscribed " 1578, setatis 14," the Jan- sen portrait must have been painted but a short time previous to her death. I am sorry that my error should have given needless trouble to oblig- ing correspondents. MR. EDW. HAWKINS states, that Margaret Howard was the eldest daughter of Lord William ; but in the pedigree of the Barons of Morpeth, given in Hodgson's Northumberland (part ii. vol. ii. p. 381.), she is placed as the third daughter.
I will, with the editor's permission, return to this subject on some other occasion.

"In Necessariis Unitas" 8fc. (1 st S. viii. 281. ;
2 nd S. i. 414.) I am unable to refer N. E. to
" chapter and verse " for this quotation, as my
authority, the late Rev. W. Lisle Bowles, has not
stated in what part of Melancthon's Works it is
found. W. S.
Keeping the Lords Hounds (2 nd S. i. 315. 381.) In reference to this subject, I have in my pos- session a lease dated March 24, 1791, for three lives, of a cottage at Bampton in Oxfordshire, in which, after the usual covenants, occurs the fol- lowing :
" And lastly it is agreed that the said (tenant), his ex. ad. and ass., shall and will every second year of the term hereby demised (if thereto requested), keep, breed up, and maintain for the said (landlord), his heirs and assigns, one young beagle or hound, and the same shall and will as much as in him and them lyeth, preserve and keep from all manner of hurt."
I have many other leases of other parts of the same property, but the above is the only one in which that particular stipulation appears.
