and truth is by these damnable Sects greatly sought to be defaced,
but also will avoid her Majesty's indignation, which in such cases as
these are, they ought not to escape, if they shall be found negligent
and careless in the execution of their authorities.

LONDON PARISH REGISTERS.

The interleaving, of a little work in my possession, published by
Kearsley in 1787, intitled _Account of the several Wards, Precincts,
and Parishes in the City of London_, contains MS. notes of the
commencement of the registers of fifty of the London parishes, and of
four of Southwark, the annexed list[1] of which may be of use to some
of the readers of "Notes and Queries." The book formerly belonged to
Sir George Nayler, whose signature it bears on a fly-leaf.

[Footnote 1: We have collated the list with the Population Returns
(Parish Register abstract) 1831, and noted any difference. In addition
to the list given from Sir Geo. Nayler's MS. the following early
registers were extant in 1831:--

1538. Allhallows, Bread Street; Allhallows, Honey
Lane; Christ Church; St. Mary-le-bow;
St. Matthew, Friday Street; St. Michael
Bassishaw; St. Pancras, Soper Lane.
1539. St. Martin, Ironmonger Lane; St. Martin
Ludgate; St. Michael, Crooked Lane.
1547. St. George, Botolph Lane, at the commencement
of which are 22 entries from tombs, 1390-1410.
1558. Allhallows the Less; St. Andrew, Wardrope;
St. Bartholomew, Exchange; St. Christopher-le-Stock;
St. Mary-at-Hill, St. Michael le Quern;
