(38.) Mr. T. R. Hampson, the author of _Medii AEvi Kalendarium_, which has, I believe, been commended in "NOTES AND QUERIES," informs us, in a precious production which he has lately issued on the _Religious Deceptions of the Church of Rome_, p. 30., that-- "Dr. Geddes, himself a learned Romanist, has selected many [remarkable errors] in his tract, _A Discovery of some Gross Mistakes in the Roman Martyrology_." Only fancy a Romanist, learned or unlearned, having the effrontery to bestow so outrageous an appellation upon such an exploit. Does not the second volume of _Miscellaneous Tracts_, in which the said treatise may be seen, explicitly admonish us to remember that Michael Geddes, LL.D., was erst a chancellor of the Church of Sarum? "Quid Romae faciam?" he upbraidingly asks in one of his title-pages, "mentiri nescio." R. G. * * * * * Minor Queries. _Bishops' Lands_.--In the month of September, 1642, the Parliament appointed a committee for the sale of Bishops' lands; and an account of some sold between 1647 and 1651, will be found in vol. i. of the _Collectanea Topographica_, 8vo., 1834. On the Restoration, a committee sat to inquire into these sales and make satisfaction. Bishop Kennet refers to a MS. containing the orders of the commissioners, but does not state where the MS. was deposited; nor has Sir Frederic Madden, who communicated that article to the _Collectanea_, met with it anywhere. Can any of your correspondents give any information upon the subject, or say where may be found any accounts of the sales of the lands under the parliamentary orders, or of the proceedings of the commissioners appointed to make restitution upon the king's restoration? G. _The Barons of Hugh Lupus_.--It appears by the charter foundation to the abbey of St. Werburge at Chester, that several very eminent persons held the rank of Baron, under Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. The charter is signed by the earl himself and by the following barons: Richard, son of Hugh Lupus; Hervey, Bishop of Bangor; Ranulph de Meschines, nephew of the earl; Roger Bigod, Alan de Perci, William Constabular, Ranulph Dapifer, William Malbanc, Robert Fitz-Hugh, Hugh Fitz-Norman, Hamo de Masci, and Bigod de Loges. {88} Can any of your readers inform us what befel the families and descendants of William Malbanc, and Bigod de Loges? The descendants of the rest are too well authenticated to need inquiry. P. _Can the Queen make a Gentleman?_--The following is from the Patent Rolls (13 Ric. II. pars. 1. m. 37. Prynne's _Fourth Institutes_, p. 68.):--
