"Among the adherents and sufferers in the cause of Charles II. was Sir Robert Viner, alderman of London. After the Restoration the worthy alderman, willing to show his loyalty and prudence, raised in this place [_i. e._ the Stock's Market] the statue above mentioned. The figure had been carved originally for John Sobieski, king of Poland, but by some accident was left upon the workman's hands. Finding the work ready carved to his hands, Sir Robert thought that, with some alteration, what was intended for a king of Poland might suit the monarch of Great Britain; he therefore converted the Polander into an Englishman, and the Turk underneath his horse into Oliver Cromwell; the turban on the last figure being an undeniable proof of the truth attached to the story. The compliment was so ridiculous and absurd, that no one who beheld it could avoid reflecting on the taste of those who had set it up; but as its history developed the farce improved, and what was before esteemed contemptible, proved in the end entertaining. The poor mutilated figure stood neglected some years since among the rubbish in the purlieus of Guildhall; and in 1779, it was bestowed by the common council on Robert Viner, Esq., who removed it to grace his country seat." The earliest engraving of "the King at the Stock's Market" may be seen in Thomas Delaune's _Present State of London_, 12mo. 1681. EDWARD F. RIMBAULT. _Serius, where situated?_ (Vol. iii., p. 494.).--The Serius, now Serio, rises in the chain of mountains in the south of the Valteline, between the lakes Como and Ixo: it flows through a valley called the Val Seria, passes near Bergamo and Cremona, and falls into the Adda a little before that river joins the Po. J. M. (4) _Corpse passing makes a Right of Way_ (Vol. iii., pp. 477. 507. 519.).--Some time ago, I buried in our churchyard a person from an adjoining parish; but, instead of taking a pathway which led directly from the house of the deceased to the church, they kept to the high-road,--so going four miles instead of one. When I asked the reason, I was told that the pathway was not a _lich-road_, and therefore it was not lawful to bring a corpse along it. J. M. (4) _The Petworth Register_ (Vol. iii., p. 510.; Vol. iv., p. 27.).--Your correspondents LLEWELLYN and J. S. B. do not appear to be acquainted with Heylyn's quotations from the book thus designated. In one place (p. 63., folio; vol. i. p. 132., 8vo.) he refers to it for a statement-- "That many at this time [A.D. 1548] affirmed the most blessed Sacrament of the altar to be of little regard," &c. And in another place (p. 65., folio; vol. i. p. 136., 8vo.), he gives an extract relating to Day, Bishop of Chichester:-- "Sed Ricardus Cicestrensis, (ut ipse mihi dixit) non subscripsit."
