in the thirtieth of the same reign. By his first wife he had issue,
Gilbert Hoo, his heir, Jonathan, Susan, Elizabeth: all died _sine
prole_. He married, secondly, Susanna, daughter of John Orlebar,
citizen of London, but by her had no issue. He died 17th September,
1700. The baronetcy became extinct in the person of Sir William Keate,
D.D., who died 6th March, 1757."

_Hour-glasses_ (Vol. viii., p. 454.).--In the church of Wiggenhall, St.
Mary the Virgin, the iron frame of an hour-glass, affixed to a wooden
stand, immediately opposite the pulpit, still remains.

An iron hour-glass stand still remains near the pulpit in the church of
Ashby-Folville, in this county (Leicester). It is fixed to the wall
containing the staircase to the rood-loft.

In the old church of Anstey, recently pulled down and rebuilt, was an
ancient hour-glass stand, consisting of a pillar of oak, about four feet
high, the top of which is surmounted by a light framework of wood for the
reception of the hour-glass. This specimen is preserved in the museum of
this town.

_Marriage of Cousins_ (Vol. viii., p. 387.).--If there is any foundation
for such a statement as is contained in the Query of J. P. relative to the
marriage of cousins, it consists rather in the marriage of first cousins
once removed than of second cousins. It will be seen that the latter
relationship belongs to the same generation, but it is not so with the
former, which partakes more of the nature of uncle and aunt with nephew and
niece.

There is no legal foundation for the statement that marriage with a second
cousin is valid, and with a first cousin invalid. The following quotation
from Burn's _Ecc. Law_ by Phill., vol. ii. p. 449., will probably be
considered to explain the matter:

"By the civil law first cousins are allowed to marry, but by the canon
law both first and second cousins (in order to make dispensations more
frequent and necessary) are prohibited; therefore, when it is vulgarly
said that first cousins may marry, but second cousins cannot, probably
this arose by confounding these two laws, for first cousins may marry
by the civil law, and second cousins cannot by the canon law."
