GRIFFIN.


John Bell of the Chancery Bar.

When did John Bell cease to practise in the Court of Chancery, and when
did he give up practice altogether, and when was the conversation with
Lord Eldon on that subject supposed to have take place?

GRIFFIN


Billingsgate.

Mr. Editor--Stow, in his _Survey of London_, with reference to
Billingsgate, states, from Geoffrey of Monmouth, "that it was built by
Belin, a king of the Britons, whose ashes were enclosed in a vessel of
brass, and set upon a high pinnacle of {94} stone over the same _Gate_."
... "That it was the largest water _Gate_ on the River of Thames." ...
"That it is at this day a large water _Gate_," &c. Can you, Mr. Editor,
or any of your respected correspondents, refer me to any drawing or
description of the said _Gate_?
