" THE BALL AND MOUTH " (12 S. x. 168).
MB. FBASEB BADDELEY'S query is based
upon the assumption that in my new
volumes of ' Byron Correspondence ' the
words " ball and mouth " occur on p. 73.
But the actual words in the book are " bull
and mouth," and where he got the word
" ball " from I cannot understand. It is
always wise to verify one's references.

J. W. F.
ABMSTBONG (12 S. x. 48). Was either
John Armstrong, B.A., vicar of Tidenham,
Gloucestershire, from 1845 to after 1853,
or John Armstrong, Perpetual Curate of
Wallsend, Northumberland, from 1830 to

Armstrong of St. John's College, Cambridge,
named in the above reference, or were they
any connexions ? J. W. FAWCETT.
FBEEDOM OF A CITY (12 S. ix. 489;
x. 55, 97, 118). Lt.-Col. Fishwick, in his
' History of the Parish of Preston,' states :
From an order made by the Corporation in
1724 it appears that from " time out of mind
whereof the memory of man is not to the contrary, "
the Mayor for the time being had always the right
to bestow the freedom of the borough upon three
persons and no more, unless in the case of
" nobility and other persons of honour and
distinction " ; but it was complained that some
attempt had been lately made to infringe the
" said immemorial custom," by the Mayor's
assuming the liberty of giving the freedom to
more than three persons ; and it was therefore
ordered that " all such persons as shall be
made free by the Mayor above that number
(except noble persons, &c.) shall be immediately
struck out of the Rolls, reserving to the Common
Council the ancient right of conferring which free-
dom they think fit. (Council Minute Book.)
FBEDEBIC CBOOKS.
ABAB (OB EASTEBN) HOBSES (12 S. x. 91,
138, 154, 198). The note I wrote appearing
at ante, p. 154, was forwarded before SIB
WILLOUGFIBY HAYCOCK'S initial reply ap-
peared. It was written hastily and I evi-
dently perpetuated the mistake of earlier
Turf chroniclers. The letter I quoted
perhaps gives some little evidence that Sir
John Fenwick was concerned with Eastern
horses. Black, in ' The Jockey Club and
its Founders,' dates Sir J. F. as being pro-
minent and active temp. James I. and
Charles I. If the date of the death of the
Sir J. F. in question is correct as given in the
