My reason for bringing it under the notice of the correspondents of
"NOTES AND QUERIES" is my strong desire to learn of what family was
Tourell Joceline, the husband of this most excellent lady. Of that of
the lady herself, I gather the following particulars from Mr. Goad's
Approbation of the volume.
Elizabeth Joceline was the wife of Tourell Joceline, granddaughter of
Doctor Chaderton, sometime Master of Queen's College, Cambridge, and
Professor of Divinity in that university; afterwards Bishop, first of
Chester, and then of Lincoln; by whom she was, from her tender years,
carefully nurtured. Her father was Sir Richard Brooke; her mother the
daughter of Dr. Chaderton. She was born in 1595, and died in childbed in
1622, six years after her marriage, as she seems to have anticipated;
and hence her previous writing of the _Legacy_. The child, a daughter,
survived the mother.
I ought to add, that I parted with the first edition of _The Mother's
Legacy_ to the Rev. C. H. Craufurd, Rector of Old Swinford,
Worcestershire, in exchange for a volume of his sermons, 1840; at the
end of which he had printed the entire of _The Mother's Legacy_, which
is well worthy to be printed separately.

Minor Queries.
261. _Early Muster Rolls._--Are the muster rolls of the army that landed
with King William at Torbay, or of the army that served in Ireland in
1690 and 1691, now to be met with, and if so, where? Any information on
this subject will oblige

Dublin.
262. _Convocation for the Province of York._--The religious newspapers
recently gave us an account of the meeting of Convocation for the
province of _Canterbury_, but I have seen no account of the meeting of
Convocation in the province of _York_. Does that body ever meet, and is
any record kept of its proceedings?

263. _The Scent of the Bloodhound._--In a MS. (Camb. Univ. _Dd._ i. p.
542.) I find the following allusion to this subject:--
"Þei far as doþ a blod hound
Þat al times of þe yer
Haþ fute and tast of eueri beste
Þat hi folewiþ fer or ner:
But _whan þe hawethorn bereth blomes,
Þt hound haþ lorn his smel,
If he fele swetnes of þe flouris_;
And þus þe hunteris tel."
Is there any truth in this statement?

264. _Cooper's Miniature of Cromwell._--Can any of your readers inform
me what has become of the original miniature of Oliver Cromwell painted
by Samuel Cooper? It was long in the possession of Sir Joshua Reynolds,
and given by his will to Richard Burke the younger, who survived him
only two years, dying unmarried in 1794.
Should the portrait be still extant, and the subject attract any notice,
I am prepared to supply some authentic particulars as to its early
history, respecting which Northcote was completely misinformed. See his
_Life of Reynolds_, vol. ii. p. 221. 2d edition.
