SEVENTEENTH - CENTURY QUOTATIONS ill S. xii. 478). It should have been added that the words quoted by Ben Jonson are from Claudian, ' De Laudibus Stilichonis,' lib. ii. 317, 318. EDWARD BENSLY.

WYVILL OF CONSTABLE BURTON (12 S. i. 50). In Burke's ' Extinct Baronetcies ' no mention is made of a clerk in holy orders with the Christian name of Marmaduke, but two are with the Christian name of Christo- pher. A Dr. Christopher Wyvill was Dean of Ripon, and died in 1710. He had two sons, one William, and the other was Christopher. Sir Marmaduke Wyvill married a lady named Yerburgh. One son was Marmaduke, who died in 1753. He had a brother named Chris- topher. His first wife was a Miss Martin Leake; their only child was Elizabeth, who married the Rev. Christopher Wyvill. Was lie the son or grandson of the Dean of Ripon ? Christopher married secondly a lady named Asty ; they had a son christened Asty, sixth baronet. He died unmarried, and was succeeded by the Rev. Christopher Wyvill. The Rev. Christopher Wyvill, who married Elizabeth Wyvill, had no children. Burke does not give the name of his second wife ; they seem to have had six or seven children. The Dean of Ripon was the seventh son of Sir Christopher Wyvill.

M.A.OxoN.

Sir Marmaduke Asty Wyvill, seventh baronet, was succeeded at Constable Burton by his brother-in-law and cousin, the Rev. Christopher (not Marmaduke) Wyvill, Rector of Black Notley, Essex.

The Rev. Chris. Wyvill was the only son of Edward Wyvill, general supervisor of Excise at Edinburgh, who in turn was the son of D'Arcy Wyvill, second son of Sir William Wyvill, fourth baronet.

Chris. Wyvill had no issue by his first wife, Elizabeth, sister of Sir Marmaduke Asty Wyvill (whom he married Oct. 1, 1773 ; she died July 2 3, 1 7 83 ). He married secondly, Aug. 9, 1787, at Fingall, Yorks, Sarah Codling, daughter of J. Codling. Vide

I should be very glad of any information respecting the Codling family, however slight.

Sarah Wyvill' s sister, Isabella Codling, married John Miller, whose family, I believe, at one time held considerable property in Swaledale.

The Rev. Christopher Wyvill, who suc- ceeded to the estates of his cousin, Sir Marmaduke Asty Wyvill, seventh baronet, in 1774, was son cf Edward Wyvill (died 1791), who was second son of D'Arcy Wyvill (died 1734), the next brother of the fifth baronet. The Rev. Christopher was, after his father, the next heir male of the family in England, and, but for the existence of an American branch descended from William, the eldest son of D'Arcy Wyvill, would have been entitled to the baronetcy. Some particulars of this American branch are given in G. E. C[okayne's]' Complete Baronetage,' i. 104-5. * W. D. PINK.

According to G. E. C., Sir Marmaduke Asty Wyvill, seventh baronet of Constable Burton, co. York, died at Bath, Feb. 23, 1774, and the estates passed at his death to his only surviving sister (of the half blood), Elizabeth, the first wife of the Rev. Christopher Wyvill, Rector of Black Notley, Essex. She died without surviving issue, and her husband appears to have succeeded to the estates. This Christopher Wyvill was the great-grandson of D'Arcy Wyvill, second son of Sir William Wyvill, fourth baronet ; and though the baronetcy is no longer assumed, it is clear that it is not extinct.

THE REV. PHILIP ROSENHAGEN (US. xii. 442, 488). He was appointed Chaplain of H.M.S. Jupiter, by warrant, in 1796 (Admiralty Commission and Warrant Book, P.R.O. ; Rev. A. G. Kealy, ' Chaplains of the Royal Navy, 1626-1903,' p. 75).

It is probable that he was transferred to the Suffolk, then the flagship of the Cape and East Indies Station, upon his arrival at that station in the Jupiter.

ANN COOK (12 S. i. 30). If it is any satisfaction to PTE. BRADSTOW, I am able to inform him that, after searching The Methodist Magazine to which he refers for the year 1821, I find no mention therein of Ann Cook. I have also searched The Primitive Magazine without success.
