339.).--I am
much obliged to "SELEUCUS" for his answer to this inquiry, as far as
regards the seignory of Gower. It also throws a strong light on the
remaining names; by the aid of which, looking in Gloucestershire and
Monmouthshire, I have identified _Margore_ with the parish of Magor
(St. Mary's), hundred of Caldecott, co. Monmouth: and guess, that
for Chepstall we must read _Chepstow_, which is in the same hundred,
and the population of which we know was stout in the royal cause, as
tenants of the Marquis of Worcester would be.

Then I guess Woolaston may be _Woolston_ (hundred of Dewhurst), co.
Gloucester; and Chaulton, one of the _Charltons_ in the same county,
perhaps _Charlton Kings_, near Cheltenham; where again we read, that
many of the residents were slain in the civil war, _fighting on the
king's side_.

This leaves only Sydenham without something like a probable
conjecture, at least: unless here, too, we may guess it was miswritten
for Siddington, near Cirencester. The names, it is to be observed,
are only recorded by Noble; whose inaccuracy as a transcriber has been
shown abundantly by Carlyle. The record to which he refers as extant
in the House of Commons papers, is not to be found, I am told.

Now, if it could be ascertained, either that the name in question
had been Cromwell's, or even that they were a part of the Worcester
estates, before the civil war, we should have the whole list
cleared,--thanks to the aid so effectually given by "SELEUCUS'S"
apposite explanations of one of its items.

Will your correspondents complete the illustrations thus well begun?

MISCELLANIES.

_Franz von Sickingen_.--Your correspondent "S.W.S." (No. 21. p. 336.)
speaks of his having had some difficulty in finding a portrait of
Franz Von Sickingen; it may not therefore, by uninteresting to him to
know (if not already aware of it) that upon the north side of the nave
of the cathedral of Treves, is a monument of Richard Von Greifenklan,
who defended Treves against the said Franz; and upon the entablature
are portraits of the said archbishop on the one side, and his enemy
Franz on the other. Why placed there it is difficult to conceive,
unless to show that death had made the prelate and the robber equals.
