5. Annual Catalogues of Undergraduates.
The earliest is dated October, 1803, the last
October, 1818. The Catalogue in pamphlet
form began in 1819.
6. " Order of Performances (or Exercises) for Exhibition." Our earliest is for 23 Octo- ber, 1810, but the institution dates from a much earlier period. After 29 April, 1817, the broadside was succeeded by a folded sheet. WILLIAM C. LANE,

HABWICH AND GEORGE I. All the his- torians of Harwich state that both George I. and George II. several times embarked or disembarked there in their journeys to and from Hanover. In no case are any dates given, and the ' D.N.B.' throws no light on the subject. The arrival of George II. in 1735 is noted in The Ipswich Journal of that date, but I should be glad of any indication where I might find the dates of other royal visits at this period.

BLACKFRIARS : ANCIENT SCHEMES OF DRAINAGE (BIBLIOGRAPHY WANTED). Can any reader furnish particulars of existing bibliographical material relating to the old Black Friars ; also the names of any works dealing with old English or other ancient systems of drainage and sanitation ?

OIL PAINTING ON BRASS. I shall be very grateful for any information bearing upon a small oil painting on brass which has come into my possession. It is a portrait of a gentleman, and has this inscription : " loze Ancelmo de Almejda Scares Govern 01 " el app. am Gr al das Ilhas [?] de Timor e Solor."
CHRISTOPHER STONE. Field Place, Horsham.
REV. JOHN RIGBY, D.D. Can any reader tell me who he was ? A mezzotint portrait of him, by W. Say, was published in 1818 by Molteno. W. H. QUARRELL.
' THE FRAY o' HAUTWESSELL.' I wonder whether any correspondent could enlighten me regarding the origin of a ballad thus entitled. As far as I can gather, the first printed text is to be found in Richardson's ' Borderer's Table Book,' vol. i. (Legendary), published at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1842. There it is simply termed ' An Ancient Border Ballad,' and there is nothing to show its origin either as regards text or editor. Neither Sir Walter Scott nor Prof. Child
appears to have noticed it ; at any rate, it is
not mentioned in their Ballad Collections;
and although I have searched through the
' Memoirs of Robert Surtees of Mainsforth '
I cannot trace the authorship of ' The Fray '
to him. Accordingly, I shall be most
obliged for any information particularly
respecting an earlier text, or in any way
throwing light upon its origin.

ANGLESEY HOUSE, DRURY LANE. I am anxious to locate the site of " Anglesey House, Drury Lane," the town residence of the Earl of Anglesey, Lord Privy Seal temp. Charles II., 1673-82. Ogilvie's Map of London does not go far enough west. There seems no map at the British Musoum showing it ; neither is there any history of the parish (St. Martin's-in-the-Fields). I should be very grateful for any assistance. C. VIP AN, Major.

" LEG OF MUTTON " BADGE. I have a badge in the shape of a leg of mutton. It is very beautifully modelled, and is in. silver about 1 in. long by f in. broad. In parts it is 1| in. in depth. I think from the hall-mark that the badge was made in 1814, and I understand that it was worn by the President of a club which was called the " Leg of Mutton Club."
Can any reader of ' N. & Q.' tell me if there ever was a " Leg of Mutton Club," or whether the badge is known as belonging to some other institution ? I seem to have heard of the " Leg of Mutton Club," but do not know anything about it ; nor can I find it mentioned in any book which deals with London or with Clubs.
PASSES TO THE LONDON PARKS. I have also a large collection I believe it is the most perfect there is of bronze, brass, &c., passes to the Royal London parks. I have studied very carefully the past his- tory of these parks, but cannot find that there was any period when no one could enter except those who had passes. I believe that for a very short time St. James's Park was closed to the public ; but the passes I have belong to several different reierns.
I have also a leaden pass to Cromwell Gardens, and I know there is another in the collection of a friend of mine. This pass is, I believe, of the Cromwelliah period.
Can any reader enlighten me as to the exact purpose of these passes ?
