living in Macclesfield, the home of " Hetty
Roe" (Hester Ann Roe), whom he wedded
in second marriage on 19 August, some
three months after the date of the letter.
If the sermon referred to by Wesley be one
of Rogers's own, nothing published by
him so early as 1784 appears in Osborn's

"JENION'S INTACK" (10 th S. i. _407). Although it does not mention the intack, the following note, from the original docu- ment, may be of use :
8 March, 30 Charles II., 1678, lease by Richard Pye, of Whitbie, co. Chester, yeoman, son of John Pye, late of the same, yeoman, deceased, to John Jannian, of the same, yeoman, and Martha his wife, late wife of the said John Pye, of a close at Whitbie, called the Marsh, for 99 years, at a pepper- corn rent, in lieu of Martha's dower out of John Pye's estate.
Whitby is north of Chester, between that city and the Mersey, and between Capen- hurst and Ellesmere. W. C. B.
In Lincolnshire, and I believe in several other counties, intack signifies land taken in from a waste place, or from a common or tidal river. In the manorial records of Scotter for 1629 it is recorded that Richard Huggit surrendered to Thomas Stothard land in Scotter called "le long intaakes." There was in Winteringhain certain land called the
- ' intake" which had been reclaimed from
the Humber in 1881. It has now, I have understood, been almost entirely washed & way. EDWARD PEACOCK.

PASTE (10 th S. i. 447). If recipe references are of use to DR. MURRAY, he will find several in the old cookery books. The recipe for anchovy paste is given in Cooley's 'Cyclo- paedia of Practical Receipts,' 1872, p. 885.

"PURPLE PATCH" (10 th S. i. 447). The quotation is from Horace's 'Ars Poetica,' 11. 15, 16 :
Purpureus, late qui splendeat, unus et alter Assuitur pannus.
JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.
In the 'Art of Poetry,' as translated in that well-known " crib " Smart's ' Horace, the phrase occurs, "One or two verses o\ purple patchwork, that may make a great
- show." The original edition of 1756 may,
therefore, be worth consulting.

THE YONG SOULDIER' (10 th S. i. 428).
Saye, never very loyal, became a member of
the " Committee of Safety " 4 July, 1642, and
shortly afterwards was given the command
of one of the twenty infantry regiments
and of one of the seventy-five squadrons of
horse of which the rebel army was composed
(see Guizot's 'English Revolution," Bohn's
ed., pp. 160, 446, 447).
A Capt. Rainsford was one of the garrison of Worcester at its surrender, 20 July, 1646 ; and in the 'Calendar of State Papers, 1651-3,' one John Rainsford appears as having incurred the suspicion of the Government. If these are to be identified with our author, we may further conjecture him to be the brother of two other Rainsfords, Henry and Francis, whose names occur in the same volume of the ' Calendar."
Col. Henry Rainsford, of Clifford, Glouc., and Combe, Hants, fought for the king, and was imprisoned at Oxford. He compounded in 1646, was imprisoned in the Gatehouse for high treason, December, 1651, but was subsequently liberated, and died in the East Indies, administration being granted 5 Dec., 1659. He was grandson of Sir Henry Rains- ford, Knt., of Clifford, and son and heir of Sir Henry Rainsford, Knt., of Clifford and Combe, who was M.P. for Andover from 1640 to his death in 1641, and nephew of Capt. Sir Francis Rainsford, Knt.. Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, who died 11 June, 1635. Francis entered Winchester College from Clifford in 1636 at the age of twelve. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT.
In Peacock's 'Army Lists of the Round- heads and Cavaliers, 1642," a foot-note, p. 24, runs :
" John Rainsford, killed by Cavaliers from Pontefract Castle in an attempt to take him prisoner at Doncaster, 29 Oct., 1648. Buried at Wapping, Nov. 14. He was 'lieutenant in His Excellencies Regiment, draughted out of the Earl of Essex's Regt. into that of Sir Thomas Fairfax,' March, 1644."
At p. 29 he appears as senior lieutenant in Lord Saye's regiment. R. J. FYNMORE.

MARTELLO TOWERS (10 th S. i. 285, 356, 411). The following extract from a letter written by Lord Hood, and dated "Victory, St. Fiorenzo, February 22, 1794," may be of interest :
" On the 7th the Commodore anchored in a bay to the westward of Mortella Point, with the several ships and transports under his command. The troops were mostly landed that evening, and pos- session taken of a height which overlooks the tower of Mortella. The next day, the General and Com- modore being of opinion that it was advisable to
