The Right Rev. Robert Boothe, already mentioned (fifth son of the first Baron Delamere), was another of the high dignitaries of the Church belonging to this family. He was made Archdeacon of Durham in 1691, and Dean of Bristol in 1708. He married, first, Anne, daughter of Chief Justice Sir Robert Boothe, of Salford; and, second, Mary, daughter of Thomas Hales, of Howlets, by whom he had four sons and three daughters, one of whom, Nathaniel Boothe, of Hampstead, succeeded to the Baronetcy, and the Barony of Delamere. The dean died in 1730.

Nathaniel Boothe, fourth Lord Delamere, married Margaret, daughter of Richard Jones, of Ramsbury Manor, Wilts., by whom he had issue two sons, who both died young, and a daughter who died unmarried. At his death, therefore, in 1770, the title of Baron Delamere, and the Baronetcy, became extinct.

In 1783, the titles of Earl of Warrington and Baron Delamere were conferred on George Harry Grey, fifth Earl of Stamford, the eldest son of the fourth earl by his wife Mary Boothe, as already recorded. He married the Lady Henrietta Cavendish-Bentinck, daughter of William, second Duke of Portland, and had issue, besides others, George Harry Grey (his successor in the earldoms), and the Hon. and Rev. Anchitel Grey, Prebendary of Durham. Thus the Booth titles, as well as their estates, are enjoyed by the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, Baron Delamere.

ASSIZE OF BREAD, IN CORPORATION RECORDS OF ANDOVER, Co. HANTS.

BY THE REV. C. COLLIER, F.S.A.

AMONGST the archives of the Corporation of Andover, Hants., was found a parchment roll, 21 inches long and 73 across, divided into parts by ruled lines, and containing marks in red and black ink. A carefully prepared fac simile of one portion of this interesting document is given on plate II. The roll has six divisions, and each division is headed in the way thereon shown. At the foot of the marks are these words :

"Thys ys the sysse of all maner of bred of what corne or grayne so ever it be that shalb [ 1 the ferthynge wastell for the symnell shall wey less then

the wastell &c."

Can any of the readers of the "RELIQUARY" give an explanation of the marks? Having permission from the Mayor and Corporation to do so, I shall hope, in the next number of the "RELIQUARY," to give some account of these archives.
