I have ascertained from Calamy's _Life and Times_ (vol. i. p. 409.), that Thomas White, the {345} deprived Bishop of Peterborough, died in London, May 30, 1698; and that Robert Frampton, the deprived Bishop of Gloucester, died May 25, 1708 (vol. ii. p. 119.). JOHN I. DREDGE. "_Jenny's Bawbee_" (Vol. vii., p. 207.).--This is a very old song, a fragment of which (all we have) appeared in David Herd's _Collection of Ancient and Modern Scottish Songs_, 2 vols. 12mo., Edinb. 1776. As it is very short, I quote it: "An' a' that e'er my Jenny had, My Jenny had, my Jenny had, A' that e'er my Jenny had, Was ae bawbee. "There's your plack, and my plack, An' your plack, an' my plack, An' my plack, an' your plack, An' Jenny's bawbee. "We'll put it a' in the pint-stoup, The pint-stoup, the pint-stoup, We'll put it in the pint-stoup, And birle't a' three." There is a capital song founded upon this rude fragment, by the late Sir Alexander Boswell. It was published anonymously in 1803, and commences thus: "I met four chaps yon birks amang, Wi hinging lugs and faces lang; I spier'd at neebour Bauldy Strang, Wha's they I see? "Quo' he, Ilk cream-fac'd pawky chiel Thought he was cunning as the diel, And here they cam' awa to steal Jenny's bawbee." Copies of this latter song may be seen in Johnson's _Scottish Musical Museum_, edit. 1839, vol. v. p. 435.; and in Graham's _Songs of Scotland_, 1848, vol. ii. p. 48. EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. The old Scotch ballad with the above title, on which Sir Alexander Boswell, Bart., founded his humorous song, with the same name, may be found in _The Book of Scottish Songs_, recently published in _The Illustrated London Library_, p. 229. J. K. R. W. _Irish Convocation_ (Vol. vi., p. 317.).--I am unable to answer W. FRASER'S Queries as to when the Irish Convocation last met, and where their deliberations are recorded; but that gentleman will find some account of its nature and constitution in a recently published pamphlet, entitled _The Jerusalem Chamber_, by the Rev. H. Caswall, M.A., pp. 39, 40. J. C. B. _Spontaneous Combustion_ (Vol. vii., p. 286.).--Is there such a thing; meaning, I presume, of the _human body_? One of the latest and best authenticated cases is given in _The Abstainer's Journal_ (Glasgow), No. III., March, 1853, p. 54. In the narrative is included the official medical report from the _Journal of Medical Science_, Dec. 1852. W. C. TREVELYAN. _Do the Sun's Rays put out the Fire?_ (Vol. vii., p. 285.).-- "Why does the sun, shining, on a fire, make it dull, and often put it out? "1st. Because the air (being rarefied by the sunshine) flows more slowly to the fire; and "2ndly. The chemical action of the sun's rays is detrimental to combustion.
