The colleges have sat upon it thrice, and I find there is a
disposition among them to take it out of the possession of both the
contending parties, by reason of a speech which was made by one of
the cardinals, who, by reason of its being found out of the company
of any other bones, asserted, that it might be one of the teeth
which was coughed out by AElia, an old woman whose loss is recorded

"I have nothing remarkable to communicate to you of State affairs,
excepting only, that the Pope has lately received a horse from the
German ambassador, as an acknowledgment for the kingdom of Naples,
which is a fief of the Church. His Holiness refused this horse from

Fleet Street, a new moving picture, drawn by the best hand, with great

exceeds the original formerly shown at the same place.--N.B. This
picture was never exposed to public view, before the beginning of the
present year 1710" (No. 127, Advertisement). "The famous and curious
original moving picture, which came from Germany, that was designed for
the Elector of Bavaria, is still to be seen at the Duke of Marlborough's
Head, in Fleet Street;" &c.--_Postman_, March 1-3, 1709 [-10].]
