_The "Black Book of Paisley."_--I should be glad if any of your correspondents could favour me with any information relative to the "Black Book of Paisley," so often quoted by Scottish historical writers as the Chronicon Clugniense, being a chronicle of the public affairs and remarkable events kept by the monks of that monastery, and if the same or any part thereof has been reprinted by any of our societies or clubs. It was said to have been recovered at Rome by Sir Robert Spottiswoode, along with other records and MSS. of the Roman Catholic Church, which had been carried abroad from the Scottish monasteries at the Reformation. ABERDONIENSIS. "_The Trial of the Princess of Wales, afterwards Queen Caroline._"--This book, Mr. Whitbread stated in his place in the House of Commons in 1812, was published, and afterwards suppressed, and bought up at an immense expense, some holders receiving 500_l._, and some as high as 2000_l._ for their copies. Is this correct? ELGINENSIS. _Frith the Martyr, and Dean Comber._--Frith the Martyr, and Dean Comber, were born in Westerham. Can any antiquary of the district point out the exact spot? I have often asked, but ever unsuccessfully; and I now regret that I did not inquire of Mr. Streatfeild, who resided in the parish, and whom I knew. H. G. D. _Béocherie, alias Parva Hibernia--Béocera Gent._--These words occur in Kemble's _Ang.-Sax. Charters_, Nos. 567. and 652. The first was an islet in Somersetshire; the latter were in Hants. Were the _Béocera Gent_ Irish, and if so, whence the name? B. WILLIAMS. Minor Queries Answered. _Augmentation Office._--I should esteem it a favour if any of your correspondents could inform me whether the original grants made in Hen. VIII. and Edw. VI. reigns, of the property of dissolved religious establishments, are to be met with in the Augmentation Office, and if not, where? as it would greatly assist in tracing titles to property formerly belonging to those establishments, and which passed from the hands of the crown to different individuals at those periods. J. N. CHADWICK. [All grants from the crown pass under letters patent, which are enrolled on the patent rolls. Those for the time of Hen. VIII. and Edw. VI. are in the Rolls Chapel, Chancery Lane, and can be readily searched if the name of grantee and date is known. In the Augmentation Office, a branch of the Carlton Ride Record Office, are the "particulars" for those grants, which give considerable information. See 8th Report of the Deputy-keeper of the Public Records.] "_Smectymnus._"--Who were the five divines who united their powers in writing against episcopacy under the above title, which is said to be composed of the initial letters of their names?
