Unidentified Portrait on Wood Panel (12 S. x. 150).—The "Elisabet D. C. Dyciss Biaba" painting is probably a portrait of an Italian lady of the later part of the sixteenth century, and the wife or relative of the Count Biaba of the period. The noble family of Biaba appears to have flourished in Parma until the middle of the nineteenth century. There was a Count Biaba among the members of the suite of Marie Louise, second wife of Napoleon, when after the fall of the first French Empire she obtained, by treaty with the Allied Powers, the Duchies of Parma and Placentia in Italy.

A GUNPOWDER PLOT IN 1615 (12 S. x.
208). Reference is made to a statement
that under James I. certain " traitors
were broken on the wheel, limb by limb."
May I inquire whether this awful punish-
ment (well known abroad) was ever really
inflicted in England ? I do not seem to
remember any record of it. SURREY.

KNAVES ACRE, LAMBETH (12 S. x. 190).
Is not this a misdescription, or inaccurate
identification, of Pedlar's Acre. There
is such a considerable literature on this
subject, and almost every work on London
refers to it or the memorial window in
the Parish Church, that a fuller account of
it is superfluous. It was a bequest to
this and other parishes. Probably mis-
management or neglect of the consequent
trust estate gave occasion to the " Knaves-
Acre Association." The mis-titling may
have been an intentional reflection.

(12 S. x. 169). Alan Fea's book, 'The
Flight of the King,' second edition, contains
a long series of Penderel pedigrees. Also
see ' The Boscobel Tracts,' by John Hughes,
and Archceologia Cambrensis (3 S. v. 114,
299).
I understand that the correct spelling of
the name is " Penderel." It is so spelled in
Blount's ' Boscobel,' of which the first
edition appeared in 1660, the year of the
Restoration. ALFRED SYDNEY LEWIS.

The report of the case Robinson v. Giffard
in the Law Reports (first vol. of Chancery
Reports of 1903, p. 865) contains some
particulars of the Pendrell family. The
case related to certain annuities granted
by Charles II. to the Pendrells, who helped
him to escape after the battle of Worcester.
