I have continued Mr. Perceval's list of English consecrations, given in his
able work, _An Apology for the Doctrine of Apostolical Succession_, 2nd
edition of 1841, but have been unable to complete it with the names of the
consecrators of the following prelates, the objects of my Query; viz. 1.
Bishop Gilbert, of Chichester, on 27th February, 1842; 2. Bishop Field, of
Newfoundland, 28th April, 1844; 3, 4, & 5. Bishops Turton of Ely, Medley of
Fredericton, and Chapman of {133} Colombo, on 4th May, 1845; 6. Bishop
Gobat, 5th July, 1846; 7 & 8. Bishops Smith of Victoria, and Anderson of
Rupert's Land, on 29th May, 1849; 9. Bishop Fulford of Montreal, 25th July,
1850; and 10. Bishop Harding of Bombay, on 12th August, 1851. The dates
are, I believe, correct, but if not, of course I should like the mistakes
to be pointed out. I also desiderate the date of Bishop Binney's (of Nova
Scotia) consecration, in March or April, 1851, with names of his
consecrators; and finally, the place of Bishop Lonsdale's (of Lichfield)
consecration, on 3rd December, 1843. If these data are supplied, the lacunæ
in my supplemental list of English consecrations, from the Reformation to
the present day, will be complete.

Punjaub.
_A nunting Table._--What is it? The word occurs in a quotation from Dr.
Newman in the _Irish Ecclesiastical Journal_ for December, 1852, describing
a modern English church. I suppose I shall be snubbed for not giving the
passage; but my copy of the journal has vanished.

_John Pictones._--Is anything known of John Pictones, or Pyctones, a person
mentioned in a MS. as having taught languages to Queen Elizabeth when she
was young?

_Gospel Place._--In a definition of the boundaries of Bordesley Abbey,
dated 1645, given in Nash's _Worcestershire_, there frequently occurs the
term "Gospel place," thus:
"And so to a Cross or Gospel Place near to Brown's cottage, and from
thence to a Gospel Place under a tree near to a mill ... thence to the
old Gospel Place oak that standeth on the common."
I have heard that at each one of these "Gospel places" there was kept up a
mound on which it was usual to rest a corpse on its way to the churchyard,
during which time some portion of the gospel was read. Can any of your
correspondents say if such a practice was observed in any other part of the
country, its origin, its intention, and the period of its discontinuance?
And if not, can give any other explanation of the term?
G. R.
_York Mint._--Can any of your correspondents inform me of the names of the
officers of the local mint at York, instituted about 1696?
