On April 27, 33 Edward I. (1305), Inquisi-
tion post mortem was taken on the estate of
Reginald Le Moyle alias Moel of Bodmalgan
(parish of St. Winnow, Cornwall). William,
aged 18, his son, is his next heir. In the
year 1387 John Moyle, Esq., of Bodmalgan
and Ennora, his wife, are licensed by the
Bishop to have a chapel for the celebration
of Mass at this place. John Moyle of
Bodmalgan, junior, and Joanna, his wife,
occur in Pedes Finium 5 Richard II. (1382) ;
and in a deed dated at Bodmin, Friday next
after the feast of St. Bartholomew the
Apostle, 17 Henry VI. (1439), Alice, the
daughter of John Moyle of Bodmalgan,
occurs. It is not improbable that the
Bodmin Moyles (afterwards of Eastwell)
and the family at Bake were of this family,
resident in early times at Bodmalgan. There
is ample material for verifying the pedigree
from the marriage with the heiress of Bake
down to present times, but the earlier part
of it seems rather hopeless, and any sugges-
tions in elucidating this portion would be
indeed welcome. The arms assigned to
Bake, viz. : Arg., a chevron gules between
three pines gules, appear to belong to the
Pyne family. A. STEPHENS DYER.

(continued}. WILLIAM PENN.
London. On July 13, 1911, a bronze tablet which had been placed on the wall of the Church of All Hallows, Barking-by-the- Tower, was unveiled by Col. Robert Thomp- son, President of the Pennsylvania Society, in the presence of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress and a distinguished gathering. It bears the following inscription : In Memory of William Perm
Baptised in this Church October 23rd, A.D. 1644. Proprietary Founder and Governor of
Pennsylvania, Exemplar of Brotherhood and Peace,
Lawgiver. . . .Lover of Mankind. " I shall not usurp the right of any or oppress his person God has furnished me with a better resolution, and has given me his Grace to keep

Jordans, Bucks. William Penn, his' first
and second wives, and seven of his children
were buried in the oblong plot of ground in
front of the Friends' Meet ing-House. Stones
placed here in comparatively modern times
mark the supposed sites of their graves, and
those of a few others. The stone farthest
from the entrance gate in the front row,
commemorating Penn and his second wife, is
inscribed :
WILLIAM PENN 1718
AND
HANNAH PENN 1726
Next to it is the stone of his first wife :
GULIELMA
MARIA PENN 1689.
Philadelphia, U.S.A. A colossal statue of William Penn, 37 ft. high, crowns the magnificent City Hall. It is the work of a notable transatlantic sculptor, Mr. Alexander Milne Calder, a native of Aberdeen.
GEORGE PEABODY.
London and Westminster. His statue was erected in 1869 at the back of the Royal Exchange, opposite the north-east corner of the building. It is the work of Wm. Wetmore Story, an American sculptor, and represents George Peabody seated in an armchair. The attitude is natural, but by no means striking, and the tall buildings which crowd around the statue tend to lessen the dignity of the figure. On the pedestal is inscribed :
George Peabody
MDCCCLXIX.
After the great philanthropist's death on Nov. 4, 1869, his body reposed for a month in a temporary grave in the nave of West- minster Abbey. It was eventually conveyed to America in an English warship, and interred beside that of his mother in his native village of South Danvers (now Peabody), Mass. An inscribed slab in the pavement on the north side of the nave of the Abbey marks the site of the temporary resting- place. On it is the following sentence, selected by Dean Stanley from Peabody's ' Diary ' :
" I have prayed my Heavenly Father, day by day, that I might be enabled before I died to show my gratitude for the blessings which He has bestowed upon me, by doing|some great good to my fellow-men."
