_Lichfield Bower or Wappenschau_ (Vol. ix., p. 242.).--In answer to MR. LAMONT'S question, I have to inform him that in this city a similar _wappenschau_, or exhibition of arms, has been annually maintained, with a short intermission, from time immemorial. The Court of Array held on Whit Monday was anciently commenced, according to Pitt, by the high constables of this city, attended by ten men with firelocks, and adorned with ribbons, preceded by eight morris-dancers, and a clown fantastically dressed, escorting the sheriff, town clerk, and bailiffs from the Guildhall to the Bower at Greenhill, temporarily erected for their reception, where the names of all the householders and others of the twenty-one wards of the city were called to do suit and service to "the court of review of men and arms." The dozener, or petty constable of each ward, was summoned to attend, who with a flag joined the procession through his ward, when a volley was fired over every house in it, and the procession was regaled by the inhabitants with refreshments. Those inhabitants who, on such summons, proceeded to the Bower, were regaled with a cold collation. Those who did not attend (for the names of each ward were called over) were fined one penny each. The twenty-one wards require a long day for this purpose, and it is concluded by a procession to the market-place, where the town clerk informs them that the firm allegiance of their ancestors had obtained grants to their city of valuable charters and immunities, and advises them to continue in the same course. The dozeners then deposit their flags under the belfry in the adjacent church of St. Mary's. This ceremony still continues, with the exception of the armed men and the firing. T. J. BUCKTON. Lichfield. _Anecdote of George IV._ (Vol. ix., p. 244.).--In the letter supposed to be written by the late Prince of Wales when a child, I observe these words: "which have stolen from the old woman (the queen)." I think it more probable that the writer refers to Mrs. Schwellenberg, an old German lady, who came over with the late queen as a confidential domestic, and who would have such articles under her keeping. (See _Diary of Madame D'Arblay_.) The transaction is a notable instance of the prince's forethought and liberality at an early age. W. H. _Pedigree to the Time of Alfred_ (Vol. viii., p. 586.; Vol. ix., p. 283.).--I beg to inform your correspondent S. D. that she will find a very interesting notice of the Wapshot family in _Chertsey and its Neighbourhood_, by Mrs. S. C. Hall, 1853. GEO. BISH WEBB.
