THE RUSSIAN BARONY OF SUTHERLAND.-Ruvigny states in 'Nobilities of Europe' that Richard Sutherland, banker to the Tsar, was by an Imperial Ukase of July 7, 1788, created a Baron of the Russian Empire.

DE PERCY.-I should greatly appreciate any assistance in placing (De Banco Roll, 5 John, 1204) "Agnes, widow of William de Percy v. William de Malteby on plea of dower in Baderesby, Co. York." Which William de Percy was this? and who was his widow, Agnes? ? MR. Η. ASKEW kindly sent that William Malbis held Acaster, 1166, and married a de Percy, sister of Agnes de Percy; contemporary with the foundation of the nunnery of Appleton. Was she the daughter of the Lady Agnes de Percy and Josceline de Louvain and the mother of Richard Malbis? The Lady Agnes calls Richard Malbis her grandson in her charter confirming his donation of two oxgangs in Litton, etc., which she had before given him, to the Church of Solly, and Richard de Percy granted him the patronage of Handale Nunnery. As Josceline de Louvain was not born till 1120, the above daughter could not have been Emma de Percy, who married Hugh Malebysse als Malbiche, of 1138, 1147. According to a chart sent me (Ref. Coram Rege Roll) this Emma was a daughter of Henry de Percy. Which Henry de Percy was this? The Boulevard, North Vancouver. I have before me a magazine article which states that every spring in the Rhone Valley a cowfighting tournament is held by the cattle herders to select the cow which shall reign as Queen of the Herens for that year. The Heren is a species of cattle in which the cownot the bull is leader of the herd. Just why the female of the Heren species holds supremacy no one seems to know.. This year, nearly 100 Queens" with about 1,000 ardent and belligerent supporters, assembled The preliminary fights for the combats this year were run off in groups of eight, that number of cows being loosed in the enclosure at a time in order to speed up matters. Are there any records of cow-fights, ancient or modern, anywhere else? R. HEDGER WALLACE. BOOK CANVASSING IN 1815. دو James book-hawkers, and their Cleland, in 'Statistical Tables relative to the City of Glasgow,' (1823, p. 196) refers to a Report drawn up for the House of Commons giving statistics in 1815 of technically termed canvassers,' average sales in seven years. This report, which may have been used in framing the Act of 1815 on Hawking and Pedlars, is not in the British Museum, nor in the House of Commons Library. Where can it be seen? JAMES MACLEHOSE. SIR ANTHONY KECK (1630-1695). -Can anyone give me any information with regard to the family of this distinguished lawyer? I know that he was the fifth son of Nicholas Keck of Old Cowcliffe (Oxfordshire) and Long Marston (Glos.), by Margaret, daughter of John Morris; but who were the Kecks? Were they of yeoman or armigerous stock? Is anything known of the Morris family, their status, etc.? Also, is anything known of Sir Anthony's nephew and ultimate heir Anthony Keck: his date of birth andparticularly-his profession? I understand that the present family of Powys-Keck trace their descent from him. D. MALTBY VERRILL. THE DEVIZES. - During the seventeenth century Devizes seems to have been known |
