In answer to the CHURCHWARDEN's question, page 290, A. H. thinks there is no doubt that when he employs a person to collect Rates, he is himself liable to the parish for that collection; but if he employs a person under the sanction of an order of Vestry, he is not personally liable for the agent's default. W. says, in reply to the same question of A CHURCHWARDEN, "if he employs a collector he must pay him, and if any defalcation should happen, through the means of such collector, the Churchwarden must make it good. But in some large parishes there is a collector appointed, and security taken; and the only way for your Correspondent to convince himself how this might be in his parish, would be for him to call a Vestry, and take their opinion upon this subject." S. J. A. observes, "Your Correspondent E. I. C. seems so fully determined that nothing shall be well done that was done at St. Catharine's near the Tower, at the time of the last repair of the Church so fatal to antiquity,' that I hardly know whether it will please him to be informed that the arms he speaks of as being destroyed (p. 406 in the Mag. for May last), were removed to the house of a gentleman residing near the Church, where he might, I doubt not, have inspected them, had he thought it worth his while to inquire into their fate." A. H. inquires, "if there is any record in preservation of the works of London Bridge at the time of the building and sinking its foundation, shewing the reasons for the place chosen, the fall of water, if any at that date, the reason of the difference in the breadth of the arches, &c. Perhaps the notes taken in the City when the houses were removed, might throw very useful light on the intended structure. Are there such documents any where in preservation?" An "Old Correspondent" wishes to be informed where the parish church of St. Nicholas ad Manc, which is now united to or with the living of St. Olave, Hartstreet, in the City of London, was situated; and for any general information respecting the parish. N. Y. W. G. requests the insertion of the following queries, on the elucidation of which depends a case of great importance: Had Sir James Scudamore (father of John the first Viscount) a wife named Anne?When did Sir James Scudamore marry Mary, the widow of Sir Thomas Baskerville, of Sunning Well in Berkshire? her maiden name was Throckmorton.-When did Mary, the wife of Sir James Scudamore, die? her maiden name was Houghton, daughter of Peter Houghton, Alderman of London.-Who was the mother of John Scudamore, the first Viscount, born in the year 1600, and died 1671 ? A Letter from N. Y. W. G. to S. R. M. awaits the latter at our office. R.'s tradesman's token appears unimportant.-S. will find his anecdote (more correctly related) in Berkeley's Poems, p. 166. Many others of the same description are contained in that volume.-We refer T. who inquires after street impostors, to Bowstreet-and W. who asks whether lay impropriators are liable to procurations in behoof of their rectories, to the Tenth's Office. A SUBSCRIBER to Neale's "Westminster Abbey," is informed that the last part of that Work is nearly complete, and Mr. Neale feels assured of submitting it to his numerous Subscribers and the Public, about the end of January 1823. In reply to the query, "Whether he intends to complete the Work?" he begs to state, that to his ardent desire to fulfil to the utmost his engagements with the public, can alone be attributed the protraction of the Publication; which to him is both painful and injurious. He derives, however, satisfaction in the be--V.'s remarks on the New Marriage Acts lief, that the display of graphic art, for which he alone waits, will be his best apology for a delay he never contemplated. The Sepulchral Inscriptions," inquired after by M. G. which in 1790 were the property of J. N. are the originals of R. Smith; and they, with some other Huntingdonshire MSS. have been sold to Mr. Simmons.M. G. also wishes to know (and of this we cannot inform him) where he can trace the Huntingdon Collections of the Rev. Thomas Fairfax, Rector of Eynesbury, who died in 1750, and whose property then came into the hands of a medical gentleman of the name of Middleton, in London, of whose descendants he can learn nothing. are not new. His "short and merited eulogium" on us is too long and complimentary for insertion. An OXONIAN would make inquiry relating to the issue of Lieut.-gen. James Tyrrell, of Shotover, Oxfordshire, one of the grooms of the Bedchamber to George II. when Prince of Wales, and M. P. for Boroughbridge, and Governor of Gravesend and Tilbury Fort. Who are now his descendants? Strictures on Fonthill Abbey; and JUVENIS on proposed alterations in Tewksbury Abbey Church, in our next. P. 361, col. 2, 1. 24, from bottom, for "sage," read "sound.' " |
