Another son, John, was an officer of Guise's," and during the time that the regiment was in Scotland after the '45 he married Mary, daughter of Thomas Forbes of Thornton, Kincardineshire, and died in 1786. His wife died in 1813. His - eldest son, Samuel Guise, LL.D., F.A.S. (1752-1811), was a surgeon in the Bombay Presidency. Another son, Capt. John Guise (1760-1828), married a sister of Sir Richard Westmacott, P.R.A. His eldest daughter, Elizabeth (1754-1798), married Thomas Stewart of Montrose; and his youngest daughter, Mary Ann (1769-1840), married Thomas Dougal of the same place (see Burke's Landed Gentry,' Roney-Dougal of Raitho, Midlothian).

HAMPSTEAD SAND.-The large deposits of fine sand on Hampstead Heath have been the subjects of many actions for trespass brought by the Lords of the Manor against the dealers who for a century and more hawked it about the streets of London. 6 "That several thousands of poor People are Employ'd in the Carriage of the Sand, by Land Carrying it up and down the Streets, and selling and Water, to the City and Suburbs, and in it; most of which will be totally deprived of a Livelihood, if the use of it be prohibited, &c. "'Tis conceived there is no Necessity for such a clause; because the Sand used in Houses is and other Dust. generally put into the Dust-Cart, with the Ashes "If the Scavengers did their duty in taking up the Dirt, and not sweeping it into the Kennels, to be drove into the Common-Sewers, there would be no Cause of Complaint." Hampstead would have been most affected by this legislation, but it is evident the use of the sand continued, although its disposal after use was remedied. ALECK ABRAHAMS. BARONY OF WHARTON. (See 9 S. iv. 381.)—— It is worthy of note that the argument as to whether this barony had been created by writ or by patent was finally set at rest by the Report of the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords on Dec. 13, 1915, in respect of the petition of Mr. KemeysTynte to the Crown to terminate the abeyance in his favour; and it confirms the judgAbraham's Unequal and Partial Assessment of their predecessors in 1845, that the ments,' 1811, cited by Park, supposed that Barony of Wharton was created by writ, twenty loads of this sand passed through and not by patent. The following are the Hampstead daily, but in 1813 Park was exact terms of the report ::informed that the average quantity was not more than seven or eight loads. believe the West Heath in front of Judges' Walk was the principal deposit worked. Constable and other artists have depicted the scene, showing carts being filled. I Before me is a broadside (circa 1760) issued to oppose the powers sought by the Paving Act, 1760. The Commissioners for the City of London sought powers to prohibit the use of sand on the floors of houses, &c., as it was swept into the kennel, and washed by the rains into the common sewer and thence to the river, which from this and other deposit had within these fifty years actually been raised by this means two feet." The objections to this are addressed to both Houses of Parliament on behalf of several land-owners near the City of London and several thousands of Poor People in or near the said City." They state : "That there are a great number of Landowners and Tenants, in the several Counties near the said City, who have great quantities of Land, which is so barren, that no other Profit can be made thereof, than by selling the sand; whereby a considerable advantage hath been made within these twenty years last past; and if this clause be permitted to stand, the Proprietors and Tenants of the said lands will be Losers of several Hundreds of Pounds per annum. THE WHARTON PEERAGE. "That on the 28th day of July, 1845, it was resolved and adjudged by this House that the Barony of Wharton is a Barony created by Writ and sitting on the 26th November, 2nd Edward VI. in the year 1548, and is descendible to heirs general; that upon the death of Philip James, the sixth Lord Wharton, in 1731, without issue, the said Barony fell into abeyance between his two sisters and co-heirs Lady Jane Coke and Lady without issue in the year 1739; that upon the Lucy Morrice ; that Lady Lucy Morrice died death of Lady Jane Coke (who survived her sister) without issue in 1761, the said Barony fell into abeyance between the descendants of the Elizabeth, Mary, and Philadelphia Wharton ; three daughters of Philip, fourth Lord Wharton, and that the said Barony was then in abeyance between Charles Kemeys Kemeys-Tynte, Esquire, Alexander Dundas Ross Cochrane Wishart Baillie, Esquire, Mrs. Matilda Aufrere, the Right Honour able Peter Robert, Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, and the Most Honourable George Horatio, Marquess of Cholmondeley: Barony of Wharton as being descended from Elizabeth, only daughter of the said Philip, fourth Lord Wharton, by his first marriage: That the Right Honourable Charles Wallace Alexander Napier Ross Cochrane, Baron Lamington, and George Lockhart Rives, a citizen of the United States of America, are two other of the co-heirs of the said Barony of Wharton as being descended from Philadelphia, the youngest daughter of Philip, fourth Lord Wharton: "That the said Barony of Wharton is now in abeyance between the said Petitioner, Charles Theodore Halswell Kemeys-Tynte, and Gilbert, Earl of Ancaster, Charles Robert, Marquess of Lincolnshire, George Henry Hugh, Marquess of Cholmondeley, Charles Wallace Alexander Napier Ross Cochrane, Baron Lamington, and George Lockhart Rives: That the said Barony of Wharton is at his Majesty's disposal: Read, and agreed to: and resolved and adjudged accordingly: and resolution and judgment to be laid before his Majesty by the Lords with White Staves. 66 Ordered that all deeds, documents, and papers produced on behalf of the claimant, by his agents, be delivered to the said agents." CROSS-CROSSLET. CLOCKMAKERS. -A label in the Bagford Collection (5929: 100-101) has the following inscription: "D. Campigne-Clok & Watch Maker at Winton." The date is, I suppose, about 1670 or 1680, and this name does not appear to be in the reference books I have access to. R. A. PEDDIE. St. Bride Foundation, Bride Lane, E.C. AN OLD STREET NAME-PLATE.-A plaque affixed to the wall on the west side of the present Gerrard Place, W., and immediately facing the stage-door of the Shaftesbury Theatre, reads :— NASSAU STREET IN WHETTONS BUILDING 1734. Should not this have been Whetton's it is one of the very few remaining old London Building in Nassau Street ? In any case street name-plates and is worthy of record. 66 "CENSURE": ITS RIGHT AND WRONG USE. The following verse gathered from Juvenal (Satirae,' liber primus, ii. v. 65); originally addressed to the hypocrites of ancient Rome, and recently quoted by Signor Luigi Luzzati (the veteran eminent statesman and political economist) in his patriotic speech before the Italian Deputies in Rome, but applied to the wrong and right use of "Censure" in Italy at the present time,ments :may, perhaps, deserve recording :— Dat veniam corvis, vexat Censura columbas. "LAMPPOSTS" AND "FOUNTPENS."-It is somewhat distressing to note such ungainly words as these creeping into our printed English. They appeared recently-not in the columns of that verdant and ardent journal which has, in its time, made us acquainted with such strange spellings, but in a staid and elderly newspaper of some distinction. Is it too much to hope that N. & Q.' should enter a protest against the growing neglect of the hyphen? There can be no reason why the great demand in modern nomenclature for these useful little bars which soften linked words should diminish the supply required to prevent our printed language from looking ugly and uncouth. One of your readers-much puzzled a few years ago as to what manner of thing "boatrace" might be, and what place mineowners" held in the scheme of things REGINALD JACOBS. PIALÉH PASHA AT CHIOS.-Dr. Miller, in an article in The English Historical Review for July, 1915, makes the following state "Piali Pasha, a Hungarian renegade in the Turkish service, appeared off Chios with a fleet of from 80 to 300 sails on Easter Monday, 15 April, 1566. The Pasha told the Chiotes that he would not land, as he did not wish to disturb the Easter ceremonies. Next day he entered the harbour and demanded the tribute." No authority is given, and consequently one does not feel inclined to reject the version hitherto accepted, according to which the Pasha was the son of a Croatian cobbler (Hammer) and arrived at Chios on Easter Day (Knolles). This English author gives the date as the 15th day of April, 1566, being then Easter Day," but, as pointed out by Hammer, Easter Day fell on April 14 in that year. Neither the English nor the Austrian historian mentions the Pasha's alleged excuse for not landing his troops immediately on arrival, but he was more likely to disturb the religious ceremonies on the Sunday than on the following day. Dr. Miller perhaps relies on Giustiniani, the historian of Chios, but his book is not in the British Museum or any other library to which I have access. L. L. K. Queries. WE must request correspondents desiring information on family matters of only private interest to affix their names and addresses to their queries, in order that answers may be sent to them direct. WARREN HASTINGS ON THE PERSIAN GULF.-Could any reader tell me where to find a passage in Warren Hastings's Life where that statesman dwelt on the strategic and political importance of the Persian Gulf in its bearing on our Empire in the East? I recollect distinctly that Hastings expressed a strong opinion as to how it behoved us to guard the sea route and land approach to India in those parts. Could any reader refer me to the passage I am thinking of? Hastings' remarks were singularly prophetic, and would prove most interesting at the present time. C. E. D. BLACK. 65 Belsize Park Gardens, N.W. BRITISH HERB: HERB TOBACCO.-In the minute-book of the Amicable Club of Warrington for the years 1789-97 there is given a copy of each half-yearly account presented by the landlord of the inn where the club met. On several occasions the account includes a charge for British Herb, as thus "Tobacco, one pound, 3s. 6d. ; Brittish Herb, quarter pound, 18. 6d." Less frequently the entry is Herb Tobacco "-which is perhaps a synonym for British Herb. 76 As the cultivation of tobacco in this country was forbidden, and the price charged for the herb" is nearly double that for tobacco, it would seem that British Herb can have been neither British-grown tobacco nor a cheaper substitute. Perhaps some reader can say what it was. CHARLES MADELEY. is, THE BURY, CHESHAM, BUCKS.-No. 1.

MEMORY AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH.1. It is said that in the hour of death, especially by drowning, every event of the person's past life is usually recalled. Is there any authentic evidence about this? Two friends of mine, each of whom has been nearly drowned, tell me they had no such experience. Neither got so far as being unconscious, and one thought this might account for his not passing his life in review. In what percentage of such cases of escape from imminent death as have been recorded is the experience noted? There is a good deal of history attached to the Augustinian Priory of Southwick, about seven miles from Portsmouth, founded at Porchester 1133, moved to Southwick about 1145-53, but is there any picture or description of the buildings? What were the books Leland found there and mentioned in the Collectanea' (? vol. iv. p. 148) ? FRANCIS.

Marmaduke Wyvill, Rector of Black Notley, Essex.” I am anxious to discover how the Rev. Marmaduke Wyvill was related to his brother-in-law otherwise than by marriage. P. D. M.
