Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset, Pembroke, and Montgomery, exercised the office of hereditary sheriff of Westmoreland, and, at the assizes at Appleby, sat with the judges on the bench (temp. Car. I.) Vide Blackstone's _Comment_., and Pocock's _Memorials of the Tufton Family_, p. 78. (1800.) I may add that ladies have also been included in the commission of the peace. The Lady Bartlet was made a justice of the peace by Queen Mary in Gloucestershire (Harl. MSS); Margaret, Countess of Richmond, mother of Henry VII., was made a justice of peace; and a lady in Sussex, of the name of Rowse, did usually sit on the bench at the assizes and sessions amongst other justices _cincta gladio_ (_op. cit._). W. S. Northiam. _Death of Nelson_ (Vol. vii., p. 52.).--The "beautiful picture which hangs in a bad light in the hall of Greenwich Hospital" was not painted by West, but by Arthur William Devis, a very talented artist, but somewhat careless in financial matters. He was a pupil of Zoffeny, was in India for some years, where he practised portrait-painting with considerable success. The well-known print of the "Marquis Cornwallis receiving the Sons of Tippoo Saib as Hostages," was from a picture painted by him. The "Death of Nelson" at Greenwich was a commission from the house of Boydell, Cheapside; and a large print was afterwards published by them from it. Devis met the vessel on its return to England, and on its way homeward painted, very carefully, the portraits of the persons represented in his picture, and also a very exact view of the cockpit in which the hero died. The picture has great merit, and deserves to be better placed. T. W. T. _Editions of the Prayer-Book prior to 1662_ (Vol. vi., pp. 435. 564.; Vol. vii., p. 18.).--As a small instalment towards completing this desirable object, I send you the following: 1551. Humphrey Powell. Folio. (Emmanuel Coll.) 1552. Jugge and Cawood. 4to. 1553. Grafton. 8vo. (White Knight's, 3283.) 1564. Jugge and Cawood. 4to. 1565. W. Seres. 8vo. (Christ Church, Oxford.) 1571.

RIMBAULT. _Passage in Juvenal_ (Vol. vii., p. 165.).--The Delphin edition of Juvenal, in a note on Sat. x. v. 365., says: "Sunt qui legunt, Nullum numen _abest_." It would be very easy, in carelessly copying a MS., to substitute either word for the other. When MR. J. S. WARDEN has ascertained which is the true reading, he may fairly call the other an "alteration." R. Y. TH--B.
