_Mrs. Catherine Barton_ (Vol. iii., pp. 328. 434.).--When I answered
the Query, I was not aware of what Baily states in the Supplement to
Flamstead, p. 750. Rigaud ascertained for Baily that Mrs. C. B. (the
title _Mistress_ being given at that period to marriageable young ladies)
was not the _wife_, but the _sister_ of Colonel Barton. Both were the
children of Hannah Smith, Newton's half-sister, and Robert Barton. Mrs.
C. B. was born about 1680.

Notices to Correspondents.
_We have postponed_ ICON'S _friendly letter on the_ Shakspeare
Correspondence _until next week, when we propose to accompany it by some
few observations of our own. We shall take that opportunity also of
noticing a communication with which we have been favoured by_ MR. SINGER.
Z. _will find some illustrations of his Queries on_ Passages from Milton
and Gray _discussed in our present Number. The other shall appear in an
early Number._
A. B. C. _It does not follow that, because we thought the one paper sent
us by this Correspondent worthy of insertion in our columns, every other
which he may favour us with is to be printed._
Greek Inscription on a Font.--_We have been reminded by several friendly
Correspondents that this Query, inserted_ ante, p. 198., _had been
discussed in our preceding Volume_, pp. 178, 366. 417.
Z. _Mr. Winston's book, published by Parker of Oxford, will give him the
best information on the subject of_ Stained or Coloured Glass.
R. W. E. (Clifton). _Would our Correspondent oblige us by forwarding a
copy of the 1st No. of the_ Curiosities of Bristol and its Neighbourhood?
C. _will find that his Query respecting_ Grinning like a Cheshire Cat
_has been anticipated_, "N. & Q.," Vol. ii., pp. 377. 412. Vol. v., p.
402.
J. E.'s _Query has been long since put and answered, as he will see by an
article in the present Number._
T. D. S. (Ruthin). _In all probability there is a deficiency of acetic
acid in your developing solution, or the acetic acid is impure and is
adulterated with sulphuric acid. A few drops of nitrate of baryta would
test the purity._
