_Grocers' Hall._--In 1411 the custos or warden and brethren of the Grocers' Company purchased of Robert Lord Fitzwalter his mansion-house and lands, extending from near the Old Jewry to Walbrook in the centre of the city of London, for 320 marks, and soon afterwards laid the foundation of their new Common-hall. In 1429 they had license to acquire lands of the value of 500 marks. There was "a fair open garden behind, for air and diversion, and before the house, within the gate, a large court-yard." The company, after the fire of London, rebuilt and enlarged the old Hall, says Ravenhill in his _Account of the Grocers' Company_ (Lond. 1689), "with offices and accommodations far beyond any other place, for the most commodious seat of the chief magistrate." (See Mr. Cunningham's quotation from Strype, as to its civic uses.) King Charles II. accepted the office of Master of the Company, and they set up his statue in the Royal Exchange. See Ravenhill's _Short Account of the Company of Grocers_, and Howel's _Londinopolis_, fol. Lond. 1657. W. S. G. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Sept. 1851. RICHARD ROLLE OF HAMPOLE, NO. II. Owing to my absence from England, I was unable to answer the Queries which were put to me (No 94., p. 116.) by your respected correspondent J. E. The word _guistroun_ (as also _Salhanas_) was merely an error of the press; and with respect to the others, I concur, for the most part, in the learned observations of MR. SINGER (No 96., p. 159.). _Quistroun_, it may be added, is found in a MS. chronicle quoted in the preface to the French version of _Havelok_, and with the explanation "de sa quisyne." The singular form of _chaunsemlees_ is written _chauncemele_ in the _Promptuar. Parvul._, and rendered _subtelaris_, which, according to Ducange, would correspond exactly to _slipper_. I now beg to present your readers with a fresh series of extracts from the same volume. The first, though rather long, will not easily bear abbreviation. It is somewhat in the style of Piers Ploughman, but earlier by several years. The subject is the unfaithfulness of the clergy in the former half of the fourteenth century:--
