TI-I E EAGLE.
THE INVENTOR OF THE STOCKING-FRAME.
m�T a Public Meeting, held under the presidency � of the Mayor of Nottingham in the Council - :... Chamber of that Borough, on November 7, 1888,
it was unanimously resolved that an effort should be made to raise a memorial to the Inventor of the Stocking-frame, from which was also developed the Lace-making machine. Moreover, it was agreed that this memorial should take the form, in the first place, of an Institute, providing Reading Room, Library, &c., for the village of Calverton, of which parish tlie inventor, the Rev William Lee, of St John's College, Cambridge, was Vicar in the year 1589, the year of the invention.
William Lee was born at Woodborough in N ottinghamshire, and is said to have been heir to a good estate. He matriculated as a sizar of Christ's College in May 1579. He subsequently migrated to St John's, and as appears from the University records graduated as a member of the COllege in 1582 as an ordinary B.A., not getting honours. He is believed to have taken his M.A. degree in 1586, but on this point there is some ambiguity in the University record.
In 1589, at which time he was curate of Calverton, about five miles from Nottingham, he invented the Stocking-frame. One tradition is that he was deeply

NOTES FROM THE COLLEGE RECORDS.
(Continued from Vol XVI, p. 526).
BHE present
. instalment consists of the fi�st portion
�, of a senes of letters from Valentme Cary, , Bishop of Exeter, to Dr Gwynn, Master of
the College, chiefly about the building of the Library. A summary of the correspondence will be found
in Mayor-Baker (208-z 10). The series of letters shews the various alternative schemes proposed for the Library.
Bishop WiIliams, the Lord Keeper, it will ,be noticed at first artfully concealed the fact that he was the donor of the money. The total cost of the Library was £2991, of which Williams gave £ZOII (Ca1'lZb. A 1Ztz'q. Soc. Comm. II, § 5). In addition to that he gave the College the four livings of Souldern, Freshwater, St Florence, and Aberdaron, and land at Raveley in Hunts and at Coton near Cambridge, the annual value of which was supposed to be about £62. In return for this he expected the College to maintain two Fellowships and four Scholarships. But it was soon found that the endowment was insufficient, and the Fellowships were suppressed in 165 I. It is hinted

NOTES FROM THE COLLEGE RECORDS.
(COlltinuedfrom Vol XVII, p. 589).
HE Grammar School at Sedbergh, first founded by Roger Lupton, Provost of Eton, about 1528, and refounded by Edward VI after the Reformation, has always been closely con-
nected with the College. Lupton himself founded two Fellowships and six Scholarships in St John's College for Sedbergh boys, and in J 588 Henry Hebblethwaite, described as a Citizen of London, but probably of Sedbergh ongm, founded a Fellowship and two Scholarships with like preference.
For nearly four hundred years the College and the School have thus been in close connexion. The recently published Register of Admissions to the College shews that between January 16�& and July 1715, no less than 348 Sedbergh boys were admitted to the CQllege. Many of these became Fellows, worked for the College and got College Livings, or went out into the world and became famous in their day.
The College on the other hand appointed the Head :Masters, and so kept up the stream of capable boys. The one weak point in the old system was that, if the College made a bad or unfortunate appointment, it had no power of removing the I-lead Master.

NOTES FROM THE COLLEGE RECORDS. (Continued from Vol XVIII, p. 547·)
HE Lady Margaret by her will left to her executors certain estates in the counties of Devon, Somerset, Northampton, and. elsewhere, for the purpose of clearing off the
debts of the old Hospital of St John and of founding, endowing, and furnishing St John's College_ The executors estimated the yearly value of these estates to be £400. But pressure from the Lady Margaret's own servants and officers, from King Henry VIII., from Wolsey, and other potent courtiers compelled them to surrender their claim to the estates. But, tenacious in their purpose of founding the new College, they cast about for new sources of endowment.
The document which follows shows that King Henry VIII. in taking the lands promised compensa· tion to the extent of £ 2800, of which it would appear that only £ I 200 had been received, leaving a balance of £ 1600. Finding, no doubt, that the King was reluctant to part with money, they suggest to him that he should assist in getting the estates of the Priories of Bromehall in Berkshire and Higham in Kent for the College. The Lord Devonshire, whose assistance the College sought in this matter, was probably William Courtenay, eleventh Earl of Devonshire and Baron Courtenay

NOTES FROM THE COLLEGE RECORDS.
(Continued fi·om Vol. XIX, p. 549.)
HE first group of letters here printed refer to the death of Dr Clayton and the appointment of Dr Gwyn his successor as Master of the College. Dr Clayton was Master from
22 December 1594 until his death on 2 May 1612. He was also Dean of Peterborough and Archdeacon and Prebendary of Lincoln. He resided it would appear at Lincoln. He died intestate and in the words of Thomas Baker "his next relations not agreeing about the division, his wealth became a rich booty to the men of the law. It has been said he intended to make the College his heir, I cannot contradict that report, but I have often observed that they that profited most by the College have done the least for it when they Come to die, being willing, it seems, to make a gift of what they leave, rather than bestow it where it may be thought a debt." There seems to have been ground for believing that King James I intended to issue a mandate to the Fellows to elect Valentine Carey (afterwards Bishop of Exeter) as their new Master. Richard Neile, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, interesting himself' with the King to procure libel'ty of election.
