_Lord Clarendon and the Tubwoman_ (Vol. vii., p. 211.).--I regret having omitted "when found, to make a note of," the number of Chambers' _Edinburgh Journal_ in which I met with the anecdote referred to about Sir Thomas Aylesbury, which is given at considerable length; and having lent my set of "Chambers" to a friend at a distance, I cannot at present furnish the reference required; but L. will find it in one of the volumes between 1838 and 1842 inclusive. I do not recollect that the periodical writer gave his authority for the tale, but while it may very possibly be true as regards the wife of Sir Thomas Aylesbury, it is evident that his daughter, a wealthy heiress, could never have been in such a position; and it is not recorded that Lord Clarendon had any other wife. J. S. WARDEN. _Oaths_ (Vol. viii., p. 605.).--Archbishop Whitgift, in a sermon before Queen Elizabeth, thus addresses her: "As all your predecessors were at this coronation, so you also were sworn before all the nobility and bishops then present, and in the presence of God, and in His stead to him that anointed you, 'to maintain the church lands and the rights belonging to it;' and this _testified openly at the Holy Altar, by laying your hands on the Bible then lying upon it_. (See Walton's _Lives_, Zouch's ed., p. 243.)" I quote from the editor's introduction to Spelman's _History of Sacrilege_, p. 75., no doubt correctly cited. H. P. _Double Christian Names_ (Vol. vii. _passim_).--The earliest instances of these among British subjects that I have met with, are in the families of James, seventh Earl, and Charles, eighth Earl, of Derby, both of whom married foreigners; the second son of the former by Charlotte de la Tremouille, born 24th February, 1635, and named Henry Frederick after his grand-uncle, the stadt-holder, is perhaps the earliest instance to be found. J. S. WARDEN. _Chip in Porridge_ (Vol. i., p. 382. Vol. viii., p. 208.).--The subjoined extract from a newspaper report (Nov. 1806) of a speech of Mr. Byng's, at the Middlesex election, clearly indicates the meaning of the phrase: "It has been said, that I have played the game of Mr. Mellish. I have, however, done nothing towards his success. I have rendered him neither service nor disservice" ["No, nor to anybody else," said a person on the hustings; "you are a mere _chip in porridge_."] W. R. D. S. _Clarence Dukedom_ (Vol. viii., p. 565.).--W. T. M. will find a very interesting paper on this subject, by Dr. Donaldson, in the _Journal of the Bury Archæological Society_. G.
