With reference to the inquirer respecting Elizabeth Fenning, I would remark, that I well remember that it was inserted in a provincial paper, many years ago, that Turner, in whose family the poisoning took place, had confessed before his death that he himself was the guilty person. My impression is, that it was inserted in an Ipswich newspaper. There was great excitement in London at the time of Eliza Fenning's execution, and the house of Turner had to be protected from the fury of the populace. Mr. Hone had several pamphlets at his shop window on the circumstance. I have heard Mr. Richard Taylor say she was the last person condemned by Sir John Sylvester. X. Y. Z. _Ghost Stories_ (Vol. iv., p. 5.; Vol. v., pp. 89. 136.).--I hope it will not be thought that I mean to vouch for the truth of the stories after which I am inquiring, if it should turn out that there really are any; and also that I shall not be thought captious if I am not satisfied with the substitutes which are proposed. When your correspondent says that Reichenbach's "system may be advantageously applied to the explanation of corpse-candles, illuminated churchyards, and other articles of Welsh and English superstition," I can only say that, as far as I understand the superstitions referred to, nobody ever thought of connecting _them_ with _ghosts_. There may be stories of "illuminated churchyards," with ghosts in them, of which I have not heard but no ghosts are mentioned by your correspondent. I am not laying undue stress on a word. If the word _ghost_ means anything, it means a _spirit_; and I apprehend that the enlightened Baron will not thank any friend who would sink, or explain away, that meaning. So, I presume, his translator Dr. Ashburner understood him, when he triumphantly exclaimed, "The _glorious_ Reichenbach has, in this treatise, done good service against the _vile demon of superstition_," p. 180. These words would have been too grand for the celebration of such a petty triumph as snuffing out Welsh candles, and explaining one or two small superstitions of the vulgar. I must therefore again, if you will allow me, ask whether anybody knows of such stories as would really meet what appears to be the meaning of the author and translator. S. R. MAITLAND. Gloucester. _Autographs of Weever and Fuller_ (Vol. iv., pp. 474. 507.).--Upon reading the Query of A. E. C., I remembered to have seen some of Weever's handwriting a year or two since, in the copy of his _Funerall Monuments_ in the library of Queen's College, Cambridge, of which I was then librarian. I have since written to a resident member of the college, who has kindly sent me a careful tracing of the MS. note; it is as follows: "To the learned and judicious View of the Maister and Fellowes of Queenes Colledge in Cambridge John Weever Presents these his imperfect labours."
