ADDITIONS TO OBITUARY. Vol. LXXXVIII. Part II. p. 380. b. The will of Sir Robert Calder was proved Oct. 20. Its principal object is, to provide for Lady Calder; more particularly during the continuance, or recurrence, of her unhappy derangement. The house, &c. called the Holt, Hants, are to be delivered to her at the end of one year, should her senses be restored; but, if not, sufficient thereof to be retained upon the premises to answer every possible want ; and the remainder to be taken away by the baronet's nephew, Sir Henry Roddam Calder; upon condition of his engaging to return them in the event of Lady Calder's recovery. The whole interest of the residue is left in trust for Lady Calder for life; and afterwards, the whole personal estate is to be sold; and the produce, with monies in hand, laid out in the purchase of freehold estates in England, which are devised to Sir Henry Roddam Calder and his heirs male. The personal effects are sworn under 30,000l. Vol. LXXXIX. p. 185.-The will of the Countess Dowager of Sefton was proved Apr. 1. To her son the Earl of Sefton, she has bequeathed all her effects, including plate, wines, and pictures (except the portrait of the Duke of Grafton, painted by Sir J. Reynolds, given to her brother the Earl of Harrington), and the dessert service of Sevre china; the rest of the china is left to the Duchess Dowager of Beaufort. To the Earl of Harrington also 5001-After several bequests, she gives the residue to the nine children of her son, Lord Sefton, at 21, or on marriage, in equal shares ; and in default of their attaining vested interests, to the children of Lord Harrington. The property is sworn under 25,000Z. P. 186. Genius often owes to chance an opportunity of acquiring distinction. The following circumstance is related in a memoir of the late Mr. Harlow, published iu a periodical work:-" Walking with his mother once in Piccadilly, she pointed out to him, knocking at the Duke of Devonshire's gate, Mr. Hare, the well-known associate of his Grace, of Mr. Fox, and other celebrated persons, and a Gentleman of whom she had often spoken as having been an intimate friend of his father and family. No further attention was paid to the matter at the time; but Mr. Hare dying shortly after, it became a subject of deep regret to the Duchess of Devonshire and others, that no likeness bad been taken, to preserve the memory of one so much valued. This, by accident, reached the ear of Harlow, who told his mother, that he thought he could execute a portrait of Mr. Hare from recollection. He accordingly set about it, and with very slight assistance, produced a picture which was universally acknowledged to be an admirable likeness. This extraordinary faculty never left the Artist, and he could almost invariably retrace from memory such portraits as he had formerly copied. In one case, when he did so for Mr. Lawrence, the work was so perfect, that that gentleman refused to credit the possibility of its being performed without the original."

AN AUTHOR, whose "surprize has been excited," may be assured that he will not be overlooked. A. B. T. in reply to B. C. D. p. 194, says, that the Baronetage of Barker is believed to be extinct. There are not only no male descendants of Robert Barker, esq. of Eveley, but no descendants whatever, as the late excellent Baronet was himself the heir of Robert Barker; but so far from ever coming into possession of any property in any shape, Mr. Barker received an annuity from Sir William, or his father, several years before his death, of 1007. and the same sum from Lord Dumfries. The late Sir William's worthy lady is not dead, as there stated, but now lives in Alfred-street, Bath. Sir William was about 80 years of age. His nephew, Mr. Ponsonby, succeeds to the large estates, and takes the name. Mr. Ponsonby is married to Lady Harriett, sister of the Marquis of Headfort. G. H. W. communicates the following information. "The Rev. John Alexander, (noticed in page 290) was probably a decendant of Capt. Andrew Alexander, of Londonderry, whose name appears in the list of Protestants attainted by James the Second's Parliament, held in Dublin in 1689.-Wiseton Hall, Notts, (page 211) was the seat of the Acklom, not Acktom family. Esther Acklom, Viscountess Althorp, who died without issue in 1818, bequeathed the estate to her husband, John Charles, Viscount Althorp, eldest son of Earl Spencer, K. G.-Mansfield, in Nottinghamshire, (page 211) gives the title of Countess, in her own right, to Louisa wife of the Hon. R. T. Grevile, but she is not Baroness of Mansfield. There is in fact no English Barony or Viscounty annexed to either of the Earldoms of Mansfield. The celebrated Peer was created Baron. Mansfield, co. Notts, with limitation to his male issue, and consequently that honour died with him; he was created Earl of Mansfield, in Nottingham, with remainder to Louisa, Viscountess Stormont, in Scotland; and Earl of Mansfield, in Middlesex, with remainder to David Viscount Stormont by a subsequent creation. At the time his Lordship obtained the first patent of an Earldom, it was supposed that a remainder to a Scotch Peer was not valid, and therefore the limitation was made to the Lady of his nephew Viscount Stormont. When a contrary doctrine was established, his Lordship obtained a second patent, with remainder to Lord Stormont." RICHMONDIENSIS, whose account of the parish of Tottington, was inserted in p. 27, wishes to correct an error, which has been kindly pointed out to him by the present worthy vicar of that parish:-" It was the Churc.. Terrington, and not Tottington, which was given by King James I. to Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. From the similarity of names, Mr. Le Neve was most probably led into the error, and I inadvertently repeated it. The alienation of Tottington,' says my kind informer, 'is complete from the Southwells, (who received it from Henry VIII.) to Samuel Harsnet, Lord Bishop of Norwich, (afterwards Archbishop of York) and Founder of Chigwellschool, which he endowed with the same.' Among the Curates of Tottington ought to have been inserted the names of Peter B. Scott, and John Francklin." A Correspondent asks, by whom was the See of Llandaff filled between Bp. Kitchen, alias Dunstan, and Bp. Jones? See Beatson's Pol. Ind. vol. III. p. 197. He says, the See was vacant three years, and puts Jones as the successor in 1560. Le Neve, p. 34, says, that Edm. Grindall, Bp. London (afterwards Abp. Canterbury) assisted at the consecration of Hugh Jones, Llandaff, 1566, but contradicts it among the acts of Parker, at p. 15. "A Constant Reader," whose attention was attracted to an account in part ii. of our last volume, p. 107, of the foundations of an antient building, lately discovered at West Blatchington, near Brighton, hopes to be indulged with some further details. A MAN OF KENT requests a copy of the Epitaph on NICHOLAS BATTELEY, who died in 1704, and was buried at Bekesborne, where he was Vicar. A READER inquires, "If the Rev. Mr. Sharpe has published (or is about to publish) the Work of William De Newburgh, alluded to in Mr. Sharpe's Translation of William of Malmesbury?" JUVENIS would be obliged to any of our Correspondents, if they could afford him any information on the following subject: "Observing," says he, "in the Church of East Brent, near Bridgwater, that the word 'Ixus, signifying a Fish, was on the pulpit, I immediately turned to Dugdale's Monasticon, for I could not possibly conceive what the import of the word was, when, on referring to the book, I found it was this, Ίησες Χριστος Θεου Υίος, Earnp, and that in some Churches a Fish was placed alone over the pulpit, which renders it more obscure." R. U. would be highly gratified by a particular account of the ancient and important office of JUSTICIARY, The Communications of EcCROTUS will receive due attention. |
