"Reliquiae Hearnianae" (ed. Bliss, 1869, vol. ii. p. 39) is the
following extract from Thomas Rawlinson's Note Book R.: "Of Daniel
Rawlinson, my grandfather, who kept the Mitre tavern in Fenchurch
Street, and of whose being sequestred in the Rump time I have heard
much, the Whiggs tell this, that upon the king's murder he hung his

Mitre was much eclipsed through the loss of so good a parent of the

therefore grandsons of Daniel.]
