"A place near Chelsea is still called Pimlico, and was
resorted to within these few years, on the same account as the
former at Hogsdon."

Pimlico is still, I believe, celebrated for its fine ale.

EDWARD F. RIMBAULT.

_Pimlico_ (No. 24. p. 383.).--I see, by a passage in Lord Orrery's
Letters, that there was a place called Pemlicoe in Dublin:--

"Brown is fluctuant; he once lay at a woman's house in
Pemlicoe, Dublin." (_Earl of Orrery to Duke of Ormond_, Feb.
5. 1663, in _Orrery's State Letters_.)


This may be of use to "R.H.," who inquires about the origin of
_Pimlico_. _Ranelaugh_, in the same parts, is doubtless also of Irish
origin.

C.H.

[Pimlico in Dublin still exists, as will be seen by reference
to Thom's _Irish Almanac_, where we find "Pimlico, from Coombe
to Tripoli."]
