my conjecture.
At a recent meeting of those wishing to strengthen the Women's Volunteer Reserve, or something equally patriotic, one of the leading spirits asserted that members of the corps could say nothing but " Yes, sir," to their officers untrousered so far, I fancy and I think that this particular spirit had transatlantic, though perhaps only -Canadian, associations.

THE ROSE THEATRE. MB. HUBBARD, >ante, p. 264, writing on the site of the Globe Theatre, refers to the Rose Theatre as having been destroyed in 1606. This statement is quite erroneous. In looking up my notes for my forthcoming book on the English -stage, I find that the Rose Theatre is men- tioned in 1620 as still standing, and that Edward Allen, the proprietor, was still paying tithes in 1622.

COLTON. Can any reader assist me in
tracing the Colton family beyond 1755 ? I
am a direct descendant of the Rev. Witting
Colton, Chancellor of Salisbury Cathedral
and Vicar of St. Giles's, Reading, also Vicar
of Odiham, Hants, and of his second wife,
Mary Jones, widow of John Ditches of Bath.
Mary Jones died in 1744, and Witting Colton
died at Reading in 1755. They left an
only daughter, Mary. She married William
Richardson of Rotherhithe. What I am
anxious to know is the lineage of Witting
Colton and of his second wife, Mary Jones
of Bath.
Who first used the arms that Witting Colton used ? Azure, a fesse sable between three horses courant argent, each with a spear's head in his mouth. Crest : A hand holding a jawbone. Motto : " Non equo sed Deo."
His first wife was Anna Bullard, a niece of Bishop Hoadley of Winchester. More than this I am unable to trace.
