Dr. M'Crie: Professor Reuvens; Rev. M. G. Butcher; John Nash, MINOR CORRESPONDENCE. G. requests any of your Correspondents to inform him, 1. whether a chartulary of Elstow or Elnestow Priory any where exists. 2. Whether, except in Cole's MSS., any collections of Bedfordshire Church Notes are to be met with; and particu. larly whether such Church Notes give entire the inscription in Elstow Church of Margery Argentine; and whether they describe the brasses in Thurleigh Church, of the 15th century, relating to Nernuyt or Harvey. 3. Whether the probate or any early copy is to be seen of the will of Sir George Harvey of Thurleigh, dated 8 April, 1520, proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 8 May, 1522, the original will being wanting at Doctors Commons. 4. Whether any evidence can be given of the age of Sir George Harvey, of Thurleigh, who died 13 March 1521-2. 5. In the 14 Edw. IV. a John Harvey, Esq. died seised of the manors of Wooton and Felmersham, and lands in Radwell and Bletshoe, in Bedfordshire, and also of lands in Buckinghamshire, leaving George Harvey, his son and heir, half a year old. Can this George be identified with Sir George Hervey, of Thurleigh, before mentioned? or were there two George Herveys of Bedfordshire?-The object of this inquiry is purely historical. Rushworth, in his Historical Collections, gives the following account of a circumstance that occurred at the execution of Charles I.:-"Then the King took off his cloak and his George, giving his George to Dr. Juxton, saying, remember (it is thought for the Prince), and some other small ceremonies past." S. inquires respecting the subsequent history of this relique. There is a well authenticated account that the George, or some other memorial of the unfortunate Charles, given to Juxon on the scaffold, was in the possession of Martha, the widow of Thos. Hesketh, Esq. of Rufford, in the county of Lancaster, and only daughter of James St. Amand, Esq. (who married a sister of Sir Wm. Juxon, Bart. a nephew to the Archbishop, and who died in 1742) but it is not positively known what became afterwards of the remembrance so presented. W. H. remarks:-" At the north end of the transept of Ripon Minster is an ancient altar tomb, the effigies whereon are said by Gent, in his History of Ripon, to be William Markenfield, Steward to the Archbishop of York; whilst a modern publication assigns them to Thomas Norton and his wife. On the west end and south side are the arms of Stafford, Ne- in 1483. C. F. remarks, that the character of Lady Austin, attributed to Bishop Jebb, in our June number, p. 564, should be referred to Mr. Knox. LL.B. inquires for accurate information respecting the distinction between the degrees of D.C.L. and LL.D. at the present day. As the matter stands, the degree of LL.D. is conferred by the Universities of Cambridge and Dublin; that of D.C.L. by that of Oxford. LL.D. is interpreted to be Doctor of Civil and Canon Law. Yet in the admission to LL.B. and LL.D. at Cambridge, the admission is IN JURE CIVILI only. And is there not a statute of Henry VIII. whereby it is enacted that henceforth no degrees be conferred on Canon Law, i. e. Canon Law .simply? In foreign universities (at least the German) we find the degree of J.U.D. (Juris Utriusq. Doctor.) And this same expression is not altogether unknown in England, particularly in Latin epitaphs and institutions to livings. S. S. will probably find part of what he asks in a Life of Lord Chancellor Jefferies, published a few years since. He further inquires, for the origin and law of vote by proxy in the House of Peers? Query also as to the political privileges of Peeresses in their own right? |
