"Within this house of Death a dead man lies, Your poysoned mindes did me with poyson kill : The rest of the page is filled with a poem of seventy-two lines, subscribed with the author's name. 66 'Imprinted at London for John White." It is no where enumerated among the productions of Rowlands. P. 475.-In the Library of the Society of Antiquaries is preserved an anonymous poem on the death of James Franklin, on the 9th December, 1615. It begins— "I am arraigned at the black dreadfull barre, Making men tremble as trees struck with thunder." P. 483.-Among the MSS. at Bridgewater House is also a letter from Sir Robert Naunton, dated 19th August, 1616, on the subject of the "many petitions from Sir Richard Champernown." It appears from it that the Lord Chancellor had furnished the King with his " " opinion concerning the cause." It had been of long standing, and the King urged Lord Ellesmere either to decide it himself or to call to his assistance the C. J. of the Common Pleas, Justice Doddridge, Justice Crooke, or other learned persons acquainted with the facts and circumstances, as it would be impossible to satisfy either party "by way of composition." The King, through Sir Robert Naunton, urged the Lord Chancellor to put an end to the proceeding before the next term, which of course would not arrive until November. P. 485.-A. Chalmers, in his History of the University of Oxford, p. 405, says― "As he (Wadham) died before this design could be carried into execution, he bequeathed the management of it to his wife Dorothy, the daughter of Sir William Petre."
