288 NOTES AND QUERIES. [io» B. iv. OCT. 7.woe. ters or other unprinted documents. Please forward direct. GEORGE C. PEACHEY. Royal Societies' Club, St. James's Street, S. W. APPLEBY MAGNA GRAMMAR SCHOOL. — I desire information relating to the Appleby Grammar School, Appleh^y Magna, Ather- stone, Leicestershire, especially the names of scholars between 1833 and 1845, when my late father was head master. One pupil of his was Cosmo Holbech; there were also two brothers Baker, a Needham, and, I think, an Ambrose Cave, and, of course, many others. I shall be pleased if any survivor will com- municate with me. The school dates from the time of Wil- liam ILL, and was founded by Sir John Moore, Bart., whose statue stands in the schoolroom. C. STRICKLAND MACKIE. The Croft, Rye, Sussex. • THE POUND, EOCHESTER Row. — At the junction of Rochester Row, Greycoat Place, and Old Rochester Row, now incorporated with the previous thoroughfare under that name, the Pound formerly stood. I shall be pleased to receive information as to where I can see a picture of it if one should be in existence, and also to hear if there is any likelihood that one can be purchased. EDWARD TANSLEY. Warwick Street, South Belgravia. LONDON PAROCHIAL HISTORY.—May I be permitted to state that I am endeavouring to compile a history of the two (now united) City parishes of SS. Anne and Agnes, and St. John Zachary, and that I shall be ex- tremely obliged to any reader of 'N. it Q.1 who will be kind enough to put me on the track of any out-of-the-way references to either of these parishes ? I may mention that the former parish is often referred to in records prior to the sixteenth century as "S. Agnes" parish, and afterwards (for some three cen- turies or so) as " St. Anne's, Aldersgate." W. McMuRRAY. 6, Clovelly Road, S. Baling, W. HENRY PALMER, of Wanlip, who died 1773, married Elizabeth Borrett, of Shoreham Castle, Kent. Whose daughter was she? She does not appear in the pedigree of Borrett of Shoreham in Hasted. ALLANBANK. HENRY HUDSON'S DESCENDANTS. — Writ- ing now from Romeo, near the city of Detroit, in Michigan, I have to make some inquiries regarding the possible existence in Yorkshire, circa 1800-25, of descendants of Henry Hudson, the famous discoverer of Hudson Bay. Mrs. McPike's maternal grand- uncle, the late Mr. Isaac Brabb[s], who died in Romeo in 1875, married, circa 1817, one Hannah Hudson, the nuptial ceremony pro- bably being performed in North Cave or one of the neighbouring towns in Yorkshire. There is a family tradition that this Hannah Hudson was descended from the celebrated navigator. The name and address of a local Yorkshire antiquary would be appreciated. EUGENE FAIRFIELD McPiKE. 1, Park Row, Chicago, U.S. "PUDDING.—In Banks's 'Labrador and Newfoundland Journal' a strange kind of "pudding" is mentioned as being alwaysfound in the huts of the Indians. It was composed " of eggs and deer's hair, to make it hang together, as we put hair into our mortar, and baked in the sun. Our people [i.e., the fishermen] believe it to be part of their food, but do not seem certain whether it is in- tended for that or any other use." I shall be grateful to any reader of ' N. & Q.' who can suggest an explanation. HENRY SCHERREN. CROMWELL SWORDS.—How many swords known to have been used by Cromwell are in existence? His Naseby sword is, I believe, preserved at Diuton Hall, co. Buckingham; that used at Marston Moor is at Chequers Court; and the one he wielded at the siege of Drogheda may be seen at the United Service Museum. On looking through 'N. & Q.' I find refer- ences to Cromwell swords at 7th S. viii. 507; ix. 52, 151; x. 407; 8th S. x. 508. JOHN T. PAGE. West Haddon, Northamptonshire. NUMISMATIC.—Can any reader of 'N. iQ.' recommend a cheap and simple guide 10 coins 1 It is wanted for a small private col- lection, owned by a friend. FRANCESCA. SHAW, A BENGAL LAWYER. — In a 1797 epistle of my great-grandfather, the Rev. G. Cupples (1727-98), minister of Swiuton, in Scotland, this reference is made to his sister- in-law and her son :— "I was almost once every day in Mrs. Shtw't house, then 100, Gerrard Street, Soho, when I wtf in London in 1769. Mrs. Shaw is now a widow from India, where her son is one of the greatest lawyers and richest men in Bengal." Now who was Mrs. Shaw's son ? J. G. CHPFLKS. Boston.
