J. S. THOMAS PAGARD (PACKARD, PACKER) entered Winchester College, aged 11, from London, in 1538, whence he proceeded to New College, Oxford, where he was Fellow from 1547 to 1553. He received the first tonsure in London in December, 1553, in which year he also took the degree of B.C.L. and became vicar of Laughton, Sussex. obtained the rectory of Ripe, Sussex, in 1555/6, and the prebend of Bargham in the Cathedral of Chichester in 1558, becoming about the same time rural dean of South | Malling, Pagham, and Terring. He was deprived of all his preferments in 1560. He Any further particulars about him would be welcome. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT. JOHN ELLIS, D.D.-Could any reader satisfy my curiosity as to who was the Rev. John Ellis, D.D., at one time vicar of St. Catherine, Dublin, author of a book called The Knowledge of Divine Things from Revelation not from Reason or Nature,' third edition, 1811, when the author is referred to as "the late John Ellis, D.D." The above-named book is probably the ablest "brief ever published in behalf of the hopeless philosophical position known as Hutchinsonianism, which THEOLOGICAL MS.: IDENTIFICATION WANTED.I have come across in an old book a sheet of MS., in a hand of the latter half of the sixteenth century, containing a kind of summary of the contents of some theological work of at least about 400 pp. It runs thus: "Why some were ordayned to salvation and some to damna ion."-P. 96. 66 That the elect cannot finally perish."-P. 373.

HENRY BELL.-Some time ago in India I came across a small book by Henry Bell entitled: A true relation of the abominable injustice, oppression, and tyranny which Captain Henry Bell suffered nine years together at the Councill Board before this Parliament began, 1646." Other works by him are in the British Museum, and Captain Bell was apparently a friend of Martin Luther. He is not noticed in 'D.N.B.' Is anything known about him, and as to his parentage? His first work, 'Lutheri Posthuma,' is dated 1650, not including that mentioned above. H. W. B.

VALUATION OF ECCLESIASTICAL BENEFICES, 1292-3.-At the dispersal of the Savile MSS. (query, when ?) a Taxation Roll of the Benefices in England taken in 1292-3 was sold, and appears to have passed into private hands. I have not been able to trace it, but it was stated at the time of the sale that the value of the benefices was about one-third more than that given in Pope Nicholas's Valor of 1291. Can any reader give PLACE, EGHAM, SURREY. (12 S. v. 284.) THE statement in the 'D.N.B.,' xxxviii. 336, that Dr. Robert Moore was born at Hol 66 yard, Hants,' would seem to have been 66 Holyard" might, I suppose, mean Holybourne (near Alton), with its church of the Holyrood. But there can be little doubt that it really means the parish of Holyrood at Southampton. Holyrood is and was "the town church" of Southampton, and accordingly it was there that Philip of Spain heard mass (July 20, 1554), on the day of his arrival at the port (' Victoria Hist. of Hants,' v. 527). MR. TURNER having established the fact that Moore was born abroad at Antwerp, it may be conjectured that his parents, when they brought him as a child to England, landed at Southampton, and that consequently Holyrood came to be regarded as his native parish, in much the same fashion as Stepney has been reckoned popularly, though not legally, as the birthplace of children born at sea and brought by 345, 379; 4 S. vi. 547; 8 S. xi. 328, 433; 10 S. ii. 448, 512; 12 S. v. 261). At any rate Robert Moore, upon becoming a Winchester Scholar, was set down in our Register as of Southampton :— "Robertus Moore, de Southampton., 10 annorum Micha. preterit., admissus 14o Februarii [1579/80]. [Diocesis] Winton. [Marginal note :-] recessit Oxoniæ." 66 Moore's gift in 1602 of Theodori Bezae Vezelii volumen Tractationum Theologicarum' (Anchora Eustathii Vignon, MDLXXVI.), a book which remains in the Library, and which has, pasted on to the title page, an old note of its being Moore's gift. The beauty of the book was not improved when it was re-bound (long ago) and the margins were cut down. · According to Foster's Alumni Oxon.,' Dr. Moore's son Robert matriculated at Oxford, as of Exeter College, on Nov. 21, 1634, aged 16, but I cannot trace him in Boase's Registrum Collegii Exoniensis (Oxford Hist. Soc., 1894), and he does not seem to have graduated. Curiously enough, Foster omits to mention Robert Moore, the Wykehamist, who migrated from Winchester to New College in 1635 and is described in our Register as : "Robertus Moore, consanguineus Domini Fundatoris, de parochia Stoke-Rivers in comit. Devon., 12 annorum Fest. Michael. preterit., et admissus Julii 28, 1629. [Dioc.] Exon.' This Robert Moore appears in the 'Liber Successionis' under date Oct. 15, 1635, next after William Twisse (Dr. Robert Moore's grandson), but the book ascribes to him a birth-place quite different from that just stated: It was in his boyhood at Winchester that his acquaintance, which MR. TURNER mentions, with Bilson, the future Bishop, began; for Bilson was Headmaster of the College (1571-79), and afterwards Warden (1580-96). The Dr. John Harris," who preached the sermon at Moore's funeral at West Meon in February, 1640/1, was not only Rector of the neighbouring parish of Meonstoke: he was Warden of the College (1630-58). MR. TURNER'S statements concerning Moore's Church preferments need a slight revision: for in 1603 Moore, who was then rector both at West Meon and at Chilcomb, parted with Chilcomb and took the vicarage of Hambledon (Hants), under an exchange with Arthur Lake, afterwards Bishop of Bath and Wells. In 1612 he gave up Hambledon, in order to hold, in conjunction with West-Meon, the vicarage of East-Meon. (See the Composition Books at the Public Record Office.) At Winchester he was installed prebendary (4th stall) on June 4, 1613, but resigned before Jan. 9, 1631, the date when Dr. Edward Meetkirke, his son-in-law, succeeded him (Hardy's Le Neve'). He was also The foregoing entries do not relate to prebendary of Exceit, one of the Wyke- Dr. Moore's son Robert, but to a contemhamical prebends in Chichester Cathedral porary of the same names. being installed there on Feb. 11, 1611/12, porary seems to have been son of William but vacated in or before 1625, the year in Moore of Stoke-Rivers, Devon (Winchester which Dr. Edward Stanley (Headmaster at Scholar, 1601), who resigned his Fellowship Winchester, 1627-42) obtained Exceit (Hen- at New College in 1613, upon accepting the nessey '). college living of Witchingham, Norfolk. William Moore held Witchingham for two 'postea" (runs our note) years only: Rector de Stoke, com. Devon., et Bishops Lydiard, com. Somerset." He had certainly been rector of Bishop's Lydiard for fifty years when he died in 1665 (see Collinson's Moore apparently bequeathed his library or a part of it to Winchester College, for Our Accounts of 1640-1 entries: contain these per "Sol. in regardiis in Domo Domini More socium evolventem Libros Doctoris More nuper defuncti, 0 2 - 0."

The legacy is not recorded in our parchment book of Donations to the Library,' which, though it records several gifts of an earlier date (one of them, William Moryn's, being as early as 1543), was not actually started until 1651-2 (as appears from the Accounts of that year under Custus "Rob.

I should be glad to learn whom he married and how his son Robert came to be Founder's kin. This family of Moore does not occur in our College book of C.F. pedigrees. MR. TURNER states that the Moores of Milton Place, Egham, were armigerous. If he would kindly tell us what their arms were, that might possibly help to throw light upon Dr. Moore's ancestry. The epitaph at WestMeon described him as Ortus stirpe bona (see Wood, loc. cit.). H. C. MRS. ANNE DUTTON: AUTHORSHIP OF B.M. CATALOGUE, 4255 aaaa 41. by Dutton, the principal of three impostors to hysterical audiences. He was abetted by Guy Nutt and a man named Glover; the two acting as corner-men at his abominable private séances, and breaking into song (12 S. ii. 147, 197, 215, 275, 338, 471; when he reached the rare difficulty of con iii. 78, 136; v. 247.) THE list of the works of Mrs. Dutton given in 12 S. ii. 471 include : (a) A Discourse on Justification,' October, 1740. Both the above-named discourses were tinuing perfectly obscure. He produced the usual result of psychic aberration in a Lady A-, and, apparently accompanied by her, left for London. The account given of Dutton's catalepsed posturings and agitated struttings, of his face very terrible to behold (framed in plaid and whiskers), but pleasing as a bridegroom's at other times, would be rather amusing if it were not still more disgusting. Whether this Thomas Dutton was a (b) A Discourse concerning the New Birth,' to which are added two poems, 1740. A note upon the last work indicates that examination should show that the two poems were, in reality, three. republished in the eighteenth and early father-in-law of Mrs. Dutton I do not nineteenth centuries, under the name of Thomas Dutton. The former is 4255 aaaa 41, B.M. Catalogue. It was printed at Glasgow, by Wm. Smith, in 1778, pp. x, 185, and contains a ten-column list of subscribers' names. The title-page describes: "A Treatise on Justification....by the Reverend Mr. Thomas Dutton, late Minister in London, and Author of the Discourse on the New Birth and Religious Letters. The Third Edition." The end pages conclude with an announcement of proposals for printing, by subscription, "A Treatise concerning the New Birth, to which will be subjoined 36 Letters on Spiritual Subjects, by the Rev. Thomas Dutton....With a Recommendatory Preface by the Rev. Jacob Rogers, B.A." The preface of 4255 aaaa 41 refers to the Rev. Mr. Dutton, and states: "We have :seen his discourse concerning the New Birth and his letters on Spiritual Subjects." The advertisement adds that the worthy author of the book was well known, but that copies were scarce and dear. The projected treatise concerning the 'New Birth' was printed at Dalry in 1803, and contains, as was anticipated in 12 S. ii. 471, three, and not two, hymns. Of it I know no copy save my own. Both books are productions that, many years previously, had been claimed by and ascribed to Mrs. Anne Dutton. There certainly had been a Mr. Thomas Dutton, a minister, of London sometime, though not, I hope, a minister within it. He had held a mission in Edinburgh, of which the results were published under the title of : "The Warnings of the Eternal Spirit....to Edinburgh, 1710." The pro know. There is an occasional resemblance in their styles. But it is not credible that she was a literary impostor, indebted for the whole of her work to this Thomas Dutton. Much of her writing was in response to the requirements of her own time; notably the best of her material, that produced against Sandeman. On the other hand, it is equally difficult to believe that pious and earnest men reprinted the treatises with false ascription purposelessly. The successor of Mrs. Dutton at Great Gransden was a man named Keymer, and he probably became possessed of some of her manuscripts. He was of character that, even if his own exculpation be accepted implicitly as true, was even more despicable than that of his wife; but this could hardly have been known to Mrs. Dutton. He would have been quite capable of selling her manuscripts, with a fresh ascription that would have overcome the objection of Presbyterians to feminine divinity. J. C.
