mas Duke of Norfolk:--
"In 15 Henry VII, he made partition with Maurice, surviving
brother of William Marquiss of Berkeley (who died issueless), of
the lands that came to them by inheritance, by right of their
descent, from the coheirs of _Mowbray_, Duke of Norfolk;"
and quotes, as his authority, _Commun. de T. Pasch, 15 Henry VII., Rot._
1.
The roll of the whole year referred to has been examined, without
finding any notice of the subject.
Should any of your readers have met with the statement elsewhere, it may
happen that there is some error in Collins's reference to his authority;
and a clue to the right roll, or any other notice of the division of
this great inheritance, will be acceptable.

_Draytone and Yong._--The following note was found by me among the
Exchequer Records, on their sale and dispersion, a few years ago:--
"I praye you fellowe Draytone do so invehe for me as to Resave
all svche moneye as is dewe to me from the handes of Ser
Vincente Skyner Knyghte or else wheare from thos offysers of the
excheqer And this shalbe yovr discharge. Written the laste daye
of Janvarye 1607. Henry Yong."
Can your subscribers inform me who the writer was? Mr. Payne Collier
states that there was an interlude-maker of the name of Henry Yong in
the reign of Henry VIII. Is it likely that the note was addressed to
Michael Drayton?

_The Fraternity of Christian Doctrine._--I think I see some names among
your correspondents who might inform me where I shall find the fullest
account of the Fraternity of Christian Doctrine, established by St.
Charles Borromeo in the diocese of Milan. I am acquainted with the
regulations for their establishment in _Acta. Concil. Mediol._, and with
the incidental notices of them which {214} occur in Borromeo's writings,
as also in the later authors, Bishop Burnet, Alban Butler, and Bishop
Wilson (of Calcutta). The numbers of the Sunday schools under the
management of the Confraternity, the number of teachers, of scholars,
the books employed, the occasional rank in life of the teachers, their
method of teaching, and whether any manuals have ever been compiled for
their guidance--are points upon which I would gladly gather any
information.
