CORRECTION FOR VOL. I., PAGE 18.

Rev. Canon Jarvis, of Napanee, has recently pointed out an error to be found on page 18 of Vol. I. of the Papers and Records. The last entry on that page is printed to read as though the Rev. R. Pollard and Miss Smith were married by the Rev. G. O'Kill Stuart By reference to the original now in the vault of the Diocese of Ontario at Kingston it is found that this line should read, "by me, R. Pollard, curate and missionary." The confusion of "Miss Smith" and "missionary" is curious. The full record reads as follows:

"A.D. 1814, Dec. 23, married John Abraham and Rachel Snider, spinster, both of this township, were married by license on the twentythird day of December, A.D. one thousand eight hundred and fourteen, by me, R. Pollard, curate and miss'y. Witnesses present, Abram Snider, father; Rachel Snider, mother; Jonas Snider and Mary Snider."

Attention might be called to the fact that the Rev. Richard Pollard was the Church of England clergyman at Sandwich, and it would thus appear that when the troubles occurred on the Detroit River, Mr. Pollard was sent for a time to carry on the work at St. John's Church, Bath, after the departure of Rev. John Langhorn in 1813. Rev. Canon Jarvis reports the discovery of another Langhorn register for 1787 in addition to that printed in Vol. I.
