Sir,--I beg to acknowledge the notice which two of your correspondents
have taken of my query on this subject. At the same time I must say that
the explanations which they offer appear to me to be quite
unsatisfactory. I shall be happy to give my reasons for this, if you
think it worth while; but, perhaps, if we wait a little, some other
solution may be suggested.

For the sake of the inhabitants, I hope that your work is read at
Colchester. Is there nobody there who could inform us at what time the
London coach started a century ago? It seems clear that it arrived in
the afternoon--but I will not at present trespass further on your
columns. I am, &c.,

G.G.

MINOR NOTES.

Ancient Inscribed Alms Dish.

L.S.B. informs us that in the church of St. Paul, Norwich, is a brass
dish, which has been gilt, and has this legend round it four times
over:--"HER: I: LIFRID: GRECHº: WART."[4]

This seems to be another example of the inscription which was
satisfactorily explained in No. 5. p. 73.
