es' Attendants in Spain_ (Vol. ix., p. 272.).--In a small 4to. MS. in my possession, entitled "A Narrative of Count Gondomar's Proceedings in England," is the following list of "The Prince's Servants" who accompanied him in his Journey into Spain: "_Master of the Horse_, Lord Andover. _Master of the Ward_, Lord Compton. _Chamberlain_, Lord Carey. _Comptroller_, Lord Vaughan. _Secretary_, Sir Francis Cottington. _Gentleman of the Bed-chamber_, Sir Robert Carr. {Sir William Howard, {Sir Edmund Verney, {Sir William Crofts, _Gentlemen of the Privy_ {Sir Richard Wynne, _Chamber_ {Mr. Ralph Clare, {Mr. John Sandilaus, {Mr. Charles Glemham. {Mr. Francis Carew. _Gentleman Usher of the Privy Chamber_, Sir John North. {Mr. Newton, _Gentlemen Ushers of the Presence_ {Mr. Young, {Mr. Tyrwhitt. _Grooms of the Bed-chamber_, five. _Pages_, three. _Chaplains_, two."
