_Bells at Berwick-upon-Tweed_ (Vol. viii., p. 292.): _Chandler, Bishop of Durham_ (Vol. viii, p. 331.).--I may perhaps "kill two birds with one stone," by reminding MESSRS. GATTY and NEWBURN that the Bishops of Durham were formerly _Princes of the Palatinate_. It was probably in that capacity that Bishop Chandler delivered a charge to the Grand Jury, and Bishop Barington licensed a meeting-house bell. This latter prelate was, I believe, the last who exercised the functions of that high office. WM. HAZEL. _Return of Gentry, temp. Henry VI._ (Vol. viii., p. 469.).--The return of 12th Henry VI. is printed in Fuller's _Worthies_, under each county. G. STEINMAN STEINMAN. I read in Fuller's _Worthies_, edit. Nuttall, vol. i. p. 60.: "A later list might be presented of the English gentry towards the end of the reign of King Henry VIII." Does this list exist in any of our record offices? And has it ever been printed? TEWARS. _Peter Allan_ (Vol. viii., p. 539.).--Your correspondent E. C. will find much interesting information respecting this person in an account of him reprinted from the _Sunderland and Durham County Herald_, and published (1848) by Vint and Carr, Sunderland, under the title of _Marsden Rock, or the Story of Peter Allan, and Marsden Marine Grotto_. He, his wife, eight children, and aged father and mother, are there described as being in a very flourishing condition: and (if I remember rightly) I saw them all, when I last visited the rock in 1850. CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A. _Burial in an Erect Posture_ (Vol. viii., p. 5.).--The following passage, which I quote from Hearne's _Collection of Antiquarian Discourses_, vol. i. p. 212., may perhaps prove acceptable to CHEVERELLS, as showing (on traditional authority) that this mode of burial was anciently adopted in the case of captains in the army: "For them above the grounde buryed, I have by tradition heard, that when anye notable captayne dyed in battel or campe, the souldyers used to take his bodye, and to sette him on his feet _uprighte_, and put his {631} launce or pike into his hand; and then his fellowe souldyers did by travell everye man bringe so muche earthe, and laye aboute him as should cover him, and mount up to cover the top of his pike." I have a very curious print in my possession, illustrating the manners and customs of the Laplanders; and, amongst the rest, their modes of burial. In one case several bodies are represented standing in an upright posture, perfectly nude, with railings all round except in the front; and another, one body is represented in a similar condition, inclosed in a kind of sentry-box. R. W. ELLIOTT. Clifton. _The Word "Mob"_ (Vol. viii., pp. 386. 524. 573.).--Roger North, speaking of the King's Head, or Green Ribbon Club, which was "a more visible administration, mediate, as it were, between his lordship (Shaftsbury) and the greater and lesser vulgar, who were to be the immediate tools," says:
