Questions and answers -- Periodicals
_Family of Kyme_ (Vol. iv., p. 23.).--The match of Kyme with Cicely,
second daughter of Edward the Fourth, and widow of John, Lord Welles,
is mentioned by Anderson, Yorke, Brooke, and Vincent; but these writers
agree that she had no issue by this marriage.
BOLD is probably aware that there are a few descents of the family of
Kyme of Stickford, coming down to the latter end of the sixteenth
century, to be found in a "Visitation of Lincolnshire," Harl. MS. No.
1550., fo. 60. b.
The following notice of some supposed descendants of the ancient family
of Kyme, is given in Thompson's _History of Boston_, 4to. Lond. 1820,
pp. 173. to 176.:
"Richmond Rochford, or Kyme Tower.
"At what time this estate passed from the Kyme family has not been
ascertained: it fell into the hands of the crown by sequestration,
in consequence of some political transgression of its owner, and
is now the property of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. The
descendants of the ancient owners, however, continued to occupy
the estate as tenants, until 1816.[6]
[Footnote 6: Adlard Kyme was tenant 1709.]
"The tower is situated about two miles east of Boston.... An old
house adjoining the Tower was taken down a few years since: in
this house were several old portraits, said to be of the Kyme
family: there were also three coats of arms, with different
bearings, but with this same motto: 'In cruce nostra salus.'"
If BOLD will communicate his address to the editor of "NOTES AND
QUERIES," I will with much pleasure forward to him some further
information respecting the descendants of the Kymes of Kyme Tower.
LLEWELLYN.
_The Leman Baronetcy_ (Vol. iv., p. 58.).--In answer to your
correspondent H. M., I beg to state that Sir Edward Leman, Baronet,
resides at Nottingham. He tried his right as to the baronetcy at the
Canongate Court in Edinburgh, in the year 1842, and was gazetted as the
legal baronet and rightful descendant of Sir Tanfeild Leman, who
succeeded Sir William Lenten of Northaw. I have the original gazette and
a certified court copy of the proceedings on the occasion, which I shall
be happy to show your correspondent, with all other information and
papers relative to the Leman family, if he will favour me with his
address.

39. Windmill Street, Haymarket.
_Cure for Ague_ (Vol. iv., p. 53.).--The benefit derived by your
correspondent E. S. TAYLOR from the snuff of a candle, was owing to the
minute quantity of creosote contained in each dose. Dr. Elliotson tried
the same nauseous remedy with partial success at St. Thomas's Hospital,
some years since.
