s and make satisfaction. Bishop Kennet refers to
a MS. containing the orders of the commissioners, but does not state where
the MS. was deposited; nor has Sir Frederic Madden, who communicated that
article to the _Collectanea_, met with it anywhere.

Can any of your correspondents give any information upon the subject, or
say where may be found any accounts of the sales of the lands under the
parliamentary orders, or of the proceedings of the commissioners appointed
to make restitution upon the king's restoration?

_The Barons of Hugh Lupus_.--It appears by the charter foundation to the
abbey of St. Werburge at Chester, that several very eminent persons held
the rank of Baron, under Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. The charter is signed
by the earl himself and by the following barons: Richard, son of Hugh
Lupus; Hervey, Bishop of Bangor; Ranulph de Meschines, nephew of the earl;
Roger Bigod, Alan de Perci, William Constabular, Ranulph Dapifer, William
Malbanc, Robert Fitz-Hugh, Hugh Fitz-Norman, Hamo de Masci, and Bigod de
Loges. {88}

Can any of your readers inform us what befel the families and descendants
of William Malbanc, and Bigod de Loges? The descendants of the rest are too
well authenticated to need inquiry.

_Can the Queen make a Gentleman?_--The following is from the Patent Rolls
(13 Ric. II. pars. 1. m. 37. Prynne's _Fourth Institutes_, p. 68.):--
