Vol. viii., p. 205.).--The manor house of Halnaker,
adjoining Walberton and Goodwood, is thus spoken of by Dallaway in his
_Hist. of Sussex_, "Rape of Chichester," p. 131.:--"Halnaker, called in
_Domesday_ 'Halneche,' and in writings of very ancient date Halnac,
Halnaked, and Halfnaked." Then follows a short description of the old
manor-house.

It has been lately visited by the Archaeological Association, under the
direction of Lord Talbot de Malahide; and it is probable that the
industrious antiquaries of Sussex will soon give us a more detailed account
of it in their next volume of _Transactions_.

_Cambridge and Ireland_ (Vol. viii., p. 270.).--The story of Irish
merchants _landing_ at Cambridge is "very like a whale," "touched upon the
deserts of Bohemia." I think, however, that I can trace the source of this
glaring and oft-repeated error, as there really exists a documentary
connexion between Irish cloth and the town of Cambridge.

Referring to a collection of notes on the ancient commerce and manufactures
of Ireland, which I have lately made, I find--cited as an instance of the
general use of Irish cloth in England at an early period--that Henry IV.,
in 1410, gave a royal grant of tolls, for the purpose of paving the town of
Cambridge; in which, among other articles, Irish cloth is taxed at the rate
of twopence per hundred. The grant, "De villa Cantabrigiae paveanda," will
be found in Rymer's _Foedera_.

_Autobiographical Sketch_ (Vol. vii., p. 477.).--The fragments found by
CHEVERELLS are parts of _The Library of Useless Knowledge_, by Athanasius
Gasker, Esq., F.R.S., &c.: London, W. Pickering, 1837.

_Archbishop Chichely_ (Vol. viii., p. 198).--The Statute Book of All Souls
College; Robert Hoveden's _Life of Chichely_; and the respective Lives by
Arthur Duck and O. L. Spencer, have all been examined for the date of Henry
Chichely's birth, but without success.

The most probable conjecture is, that he was born in 1362; since in 1442
(see his "Letter to Pope Eugenius," printed in the Appendix to Spencer's
_Life_) he describes himself as having either completed or entered upon his
eightieth year.

"_Discovery of the Inquisition_" (Vol. viii., p. 137.).--It is a mistake to
suppose that all John Day's publications are rare. Montanus's _Discovery
