_Orders for the Household of Lord Montagu._--The second Viscount Montagu,
grandson and heir of Anthony Browne, created Viscount in 1554, ob. 1592,
compiled a detailed code of regulations for his family, thus entitled:
"A Booke of Orders and Rules established by me, Anthony, Viscount
Mountague, for the better direction and government of my howsholde and
family, together with the generall dutyes and charges apperteyninge to
myne officers and other servantes. Anno D[=n]i 1595."
Has this curious illustration of ancient domestic manners ever been
published?

Minor Queries with Answers.
_Cateaton Street._--I am anxious to ascertain the meaning and derivation of
this word: the London Cateaton Street, I believe, is changed into Gresham
Street. I have lately learnt that there is a Cateaton Street in Liverpool
also.
ETYMO.
[Cateaton Street, or "Catteten Street," says Stow, "is a corruption of
Catte Street, which beginneth at the north end of Ironmonger Lane, and
runneth to the west end of St. Lawrence Church." In 1845, this street
was renamed Gresham Street.]
_Portrait of Lee, Inventor of the Stocking-frame._--In Hatton's _History of
London_ (published in 1708), it is stated that a picture (by Balderston) of
Lee, the inventor of the stocking-frame, hung in the hall of the Framework
Knitters' Company. The inquirer wishes to ascertain whether the picture is
yet in existence or not; and, if still in existence, where it can be seen.
M. E.
[In Cunningham's _Handbook of London_, p. 527., s. v. _Weavers' Hall,
Basinghall Street_, is a quotation from the _Quarterly Review_ for
January, 1816, in which the picture is spoken of as then existing in
the Stocking Weavers' Hall.]
_Cocker's Arithmetic_ (Vol. iv., pp. 102. 149.).--Some correspondence
appears in "N. & Q." about the first edition of "Old Cocker." I should be
glad to ascertain the date of the latest edition.
TYRO.
[The British Museum contains the following editions of Cocker's
_Arithmetic_:--the 20th, Lond. 1700; the 37th, perused and published by
John Hawkins (with MS. notes), Lond. 1720; 41st, Lond. 1724; 50th,
corrected by Geo. Fisher, Lond. 1746. Watt notices one revised by J.
Mair, Edinb. 1751. In Professor de Morgan's _Arithmetical Books_, p.
56., where a full history of Cocker's book is given, mention is made of
