tices, June, 1650 ; and one of the Com-
missioners named in the Act of Indemnity,
September, 1650. He was added to the Com-
mittee of the Army 1 January, 1652. He was
a member of the Council of State in the first
and second years, February, 1649, to 1651 ;
and one of four Commissioners sent to assist
the Lord Deputy in managing the civil affairs
of Ireland, July, 1650, in which post he con-
tinued until 1654 an office he is said to have
executed with great tyranny, persecuting all
who were opposed to his own views. To the
Cromwellian Parliament of 1656-8 he was
returned by both the counties of Denbigh
and Merioneth, but preferred his native
county. Although a brother-in-law to Crom-
well, his republican views made him by no
means favourable to the Protectorate. He
was, however, nominated one of Cromwell's
"Other House" in 1657, and appointed
Governor of Anglesea. On 2 June, 1657, a
Bill was ordered to be brought in to give him
lands in Ireland in satisfaction of 3,002^.,
his arrears of pay. Upon the return of the
Rump, in May, 1659, he was nominated on
the Committee of Safety 7 to 15 May, and on
19 May one of the Council of State. On
7 June he was one of five Commissioners sent
to replace Henry Cromwell in the govern-
ment of Ireland, and was also commander of
the Irish forces. He supported Ludlow
against the Parliament, for which, on 13 De-
cember, he was arrested in Dublin Castle by
the officers of Monk's party ; and on 19 Janu-
ary, 1660, the powers formerly given to him
in Ireland were suspended by order of the
House, and he was summoned to Parliament
to answer impeachment of high treason. At
the Restoration he was one of the regicides
who were totally excepted from the Act
of Pardon arid Oblivion ; was arrested in
London 2 June, 1660 ; tried and sentenced
to death 12 October following ; and executed
at Charing Cross 17 October with all the
horrors associated with the sentence for high
treason. Col. Jones was twice married : first
to Margaret, daughter of John Edwards, of
Denbighshire (she died in Dublin in 1651) ;
secondly, to Cromwell's sister Jane, the widow
of Roger Whetstone. He is said to have been
ancestor of William Jones, Deputy-Governor
of Newhaven, who died there 17 October,
1766, aged eighty-two. I may add that Col.
Jones was not one of Cromwell's major-
generals. W. D. PINK.

A short life of the above is in Noble's
- Memoirs of the House of Cromwell,' vol. ii.
p. 213, which, according to a note, is " chiefly taken from the lives of the Protector Oliver,
Thurloe's 'State Papers,' the trials of the
regicides, and Mr. Pennant's 'Journey to
Snowdon.' JOHN RADCLIFFE.
SIR CLEMENT SCUDAMORE (9 th S. vii. 269). His residence, marriage, place of burial, and particulars of his family, from the parish registers of St. Mary, Aldermanbury, are given in the ' London and Middlesex Note- Book,' London, 1892, pp. 101, 201. I am aware this is no reply to the question, but it may be useful. EVERARD HOME COLEMAN.

On referring to my cop
'Lord Mayors and Sheriff
1625, ' I find that I have
pp. 27-28 (inter alia) that this sheriff was a
"Vintner," and "possibly son of William
Scudamore of London, Ironmonger, by his
wife Agnes, da. of Henry Mopted of London,
and born circa 1553." W. I. R. V.
"THE POWER OF THE DOG" (9 th S. vii. 106, 172). An allusion to St. John's Gospel occurs in Hoby's translation of Castiglione's * Book of the Courtier,' 1551, at p. 187 of the " Tudor Translations," edition 1900, " Capitain Molart requiringe Peralta to sweare whether he had about him any Saint Johnes Gosspell or charm and inchauntmente, to preserve him from hurt." In the original it is merely " brevi o incanti," bk. ii. cap. 80.

"LATTERMINT" (9 th S. vii. 207). In the new complete edition of Keats (Glasgow, Gowans & Gray), at present in course of publication, the word is printed with a hyphen, " latter - mint." Mr. H. Buxton Forman, the editor, states that Keats wrote "early/' and cancelled it, substituting "latter."
Ha wick.
The " latter-mint," or a later kind of mint, as the * Century Dictionary ' explains it, is probably the same as the mountain-mint, or calamint, a perennial plant which, accord- ing to Gerard's ' Herball' (Lond , fol., 1636), " flourishes almost all the yeare thorough : it bringeth forth floures and seed from June to Autumne" (v. I.e., p. 688). H. KREBS.

"MARY'S CHAPPEL" (9 th S. vii. 168, 275). The interesting old church of St. Mary of the Greeks, Hog Lane, Soho, to which MR. EDWARD HERON-ALLEN alludes, was built in 1676 by Georgeirenes, Archbishop of Samos, but was afterwards converted into a Hugue- not chapel. It was whilst it was thus occu-
