GENERAL NICHOLSON'S BIRTHPLACE.
Can anyone furnish such data as will irre-
fragably determine the question of the
birthplace of Brigadier -General John Nichol-
son, who fell at Delhi in '57, since the
accounts of the same conflict as regards
both locality and year. On the morning
of the 19th inat., whan an arresting statue
of that immortal Anglo-Indian was un-
veiled at Lisburn, Co. Antrim, The
Belfast News-Letter stated that he was born
in that cathedral town on Dec. 11, 1822
a statement which Field -Marshal Sir Henry '
Wilson repeated in his address at the un- !
veiling ceremony. On the other hand, a j
contributor to vol. xli. of the ' D.N.B.' |
asserts that Nicholson was born in Dublin ;
on Dec. 11, 1821, and that after his father's |
death in 1830 the family moved to Lisburn,
the biographer adding with engaging naivete
that Lisburn . is in Co. Wicklow !
Another high authority whose reputation j
for accuracy is seldom impugned, * The j
Century Dictionary and Cyclopaedia of i
Names,' likewise gives Dublin as the '
general's birthplace ; and a similar pro-
nouncement is made by ' Nelson's Ency-
clopaedia.' R. HART MAZE.

DE HARYNGY. In three fourteenth- cen-
tury records of almost identical date the
following names occur :
1316. Bernard Domini Haringi de Pullicis
(Close Roll, p. 328).
1316. Bernard de Haryngy (Pat. Roll, p. 609).
1317. Bernard Haryngi (Pat. Roll, p. 631).
The references are obviously to the same
person, who is described as of Florence in
the first and second of these records, but his
connexion with England is clear from the
fact that the second roll refers to a Suffolk
deed, and the third mentions that he was a
citizen of London. How may the surname
and its variations be accounted for ? Can
the name as a place-name be identified ?

Thackeray's ' Pendennis,' chap, ii., Arma-
geddon Chapel is spoken of as being in
Clifton. Can any reader say if this is still
in existence, and, if so, by what name is it
now known ?
I am a visitor to Clifton and should feel
interested in any information.
