_Old Rowley_ (Vol. ix., p. 457., &c.).--The late Sir Charles Bunbury, who was long the father of the Jury, and considered as an oracle in all matters relating to it, told me, many years ago, that Charles II. was nicknamed "Old Rowley" after a favourite stallion in the royal stud so called; and he added, that the same horse's appellation had been ever since preserved in the "Rowley Mile," a portion of the race-course still much used, and well-known to all frequenters of Newmarket. BRAYBROOKE. "_Bachelors of every Station_" (Vol. ix., p. 301.) is the beginning of the _Berkshire Lady_, an old ballad nearly extinct, and republished by me some years ago in the form of a small pamphlet, which sold rapidly. If I can procure one, it shall be forwarded to Mr. Bell. The story is a true one, and related to a daughter of Sir William Kendrick's, who succeeded him, and was possessor of Calcot Place in the parish of Tylehurst, and to Benjamin Child, Esq., whom she met at a marriage feast in the neighbourhood. A wood near Calcot is where the party met to fight the duel in case Mr. Child rejected the proposals of marriage made to him by Miss Kendrick. I had the account from an old man between eighty and ninety years of age, clerk of the parish; and my friend Miss Mitford agreed with me in the accuracy of the story: she had it from the late Countess Dowager of Macclesfield, an old lady celebrated for her extensive and accurate knowledge of legendary lore. In opening a vault in St. Mary's, Reading, last year, her coffin was found entire, with this inscription: "Frances Child, wife of Benjamin Child. Esq., of Calcot, and first daughter of Sir Benjamin Kendrick, Bart. Died Feb. 27, 1722, aged 35. The Lady of Berks." Another coffin,-- "Benjamin Child, Esq., died 2nd May, 1767, aged 84 years." JULIA R. BOCKETT. Southcote Lodge. _Mousehunt_ (Vol. viii., pp. 516. 606.; Vol. ix., pp. 65. 136. 385.).--In Vol. ix., p. 65., the _Natural History of Quadrupeds_, by James H. Fennell, is quoted; where, speaking of the Beech Marten (_alias_ Mousehunt), he says: "In Selkirkshire it has been observed to descend to _the shore_ at night time to feed upon mollusks, particularly upon the large Basket Mussel (_Mytilus modiolus_)." In p. 136, I ventured to state that Mr. Fennell must have been a better naturalist than geographer, as Selkirkshire was well known to be an inland county nowhere approaching the sea by many miles. I added, that I hoped, for Mr. Fennell's sake, that _Selkirkshire_ was either a misprint or a misquotation.
