_St. Paul and Seneca_ (Vol. viii., p. 88.).--There is an account of the work referred to in the July number of the _Journal of Sacred Literature_, edited by Dr. Kitto. It will be found among the "Foreign Intelligence." B. H. C. _Haulf-naked_ (Vol. vii., pp. 432. 558.).--As my Query in reference to this place has drawn forth a {206} Note or two from some correspondents of yours, allow me to thank them, and at the same time to inform them that "A general Collection of all the Offices of England, with the Fees, in the Queene's guifte," a manuscript temp. Elizabeth, contains the following reference. Under the head "Castles," &c. occurs,-- "_Com. Sussex._ { Keeper of the Manor of _£_ _s._ _d._ Walberton and { Half-naked and Goodwood 20 0 0 Haulf-naked. { Keeper of the Wood and { Chace of Walberton 3 0 10." CHARLES REED. _Books chained to Desks in Churches_ (Vol. viii. p. 94.).--An engraving of a very fine perpendicular lettern, having a book fastened to it by a chain, is given in the _Proceedings of the Arch. Inst._ for 1846, as existing at that time in the church of St. Crux, York. In 1851 I noticed the upper part of one in Chesterton Church near Cambridge, placed on the sill of the east window of the south aisle with a book lying upon it, very much torn and wanting the title-page. I ascertained the subject of it at the time; but omitted to make a note of it, and I am sorry to say it has now slipped my memory. Rutter, in his _Somersetshire_, speaks of some old reading desks, which were still remaining in 1829 in Wrington Church, fastened to the walls of the chancel, on which were several books, "especially Fox's _Martyrs_, and the _Clavis Bibliorum_ of F. Roberts, who was rector of the parish in 1675." There was one also about the same time at Chew Magna Church, Somersetshire; with a copy of Bishop Jewel's _Defence of the Church_ chained to it. In Redcliff Church, Bristol, there is a small mahogany one supported by a bracket, with a brass chain attached, near the vestry on the north side of the choir. Until within a very few years, a desk, with Fox's _Martyrs_ lying upon it, was in the Holy Trinity Church, Hull, affixed to one of the pillars in the nave. A fine old Bible and chain is shown amongst the relics at Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon. It would appear that theological works were not the only ones secured in this manner; for I find (Rutter's _Somersetshire_, p. 258.) that one Captain S. Sturmy of Easton in Gordano published a folio, entitled _The Mariner's or Artisan's Magazine_, a copy of which he gave to the parish to be chained and locked in the desk, until any ingenious person should borrow it, leaving 3_l._ as a security in the hands of the trustees against damage, &c.
