_Jock of Arden._--This worthy of the Robin Hood class of heroes, is
understood to figure very prominently in the legendary history of
Warwickshire. Where can any references to his real or supposed history be
found, and what are the legends of which he is the hero?

_Inigo Jones._--Where can a full list of mansions and other important
buildings, erected from designs after that great master architect Inigo
Jones, be found?

_Dean Boyle._--Wanted, the pedigree of Richard Boyle, Dean of Limerick, and

he a grandson of John Boyle of Hereford, eldest brother of Roger, father of
Richard, first Earl of Cork? This John married Alice, daughter of Alex.

_Archbishop King._--The well-known William King, Archbishop of Dublin, was
interred in the graveyard of the parish of St. Mary, Donnybrook, near
Dublin, as appears from the following entry in the Register of Burials:
