I notice the.e are several families of Vesseys in York, and a goof many years I80 Peter Vessey lived at Bonshaw. I am told they were called -~Vigle. some of the Vesseys settled at Cherry Valley, Lot 49. I understood they came from the Old country. I have been trying to find out more about the name, but did not get very far. Now, on seeing your article on the name, I am greatly encouraged, and hope for your reply." I unquote, with thanks to Mrs. vessey for her kind references to Newsy Notes. Ivo dc Vescy, the first of whom I have any record, was in the army of William I (the Conqueror) when he invaded England. William, in return for his help, gave him an estate which had Alnwick, North- umbcrland, as its central village. Ths was a pleasant locality but wa frequently pillage.-1 by raiding Scots. Ivo had now become Baron of Alnwick and in 1036 began to build a castle there, to protect his domain. (This fortress is still be seen, incorporated into later buildings.) Ivo‘s castle was com- pleted by Eustace F‘itz-John, anoth- er Norman warrior who married Ivo‘; daughter and assumed the surname oi Vescy. This was in 1140. In 1309 the De Vescy estate was in the possession of Antony Eek. Bishop of Durham, who sold it to Henry dc Percy, whose de- scendants figure in sha.kespesr’s historical works. We hear no more oi the Vescys: they came to be commoners, as was often the case with the old nobility. some would take to a life of adventure on sea or land; more than likely some would make for London which even then was a centre of Gom- merce offering rich prizes; but most would prefer the old scenes, and become. farmers and laboters under their new masters. The old folk would lament for their iorrner glories, but the,next generation "would not bother with such old stories." often the name was mis-spelt or mls-pronounced during these momentou changes. Victor Hugo observed this among the psaantry of the channel Islands: see his romance “The Toilers of the sea." Book VI, Chap, If As to the name "Vigle.’! we must remember that exactness in spelling was not a strong point of the old census-tab ers and recorders. They ut down the names as they heard em and if the result was not quite up to standard, it was sufficient for the day thereof. Hence the name "Ives" Md 3 Dnfixed and mstace appears as I-leustia in old records. Perhaps some of the Veueys in the Province have further pu-tic.

In the National Library there, are four million books. and there is sure to be Guppys “Homes of the Family Names.” containing just what is wanted. The Librar- ian and his assistants are most helpful and courteous. Some time ago I undertook to get some information for Sc0‘ti5h reader and wrote to a Library in that country. I got the informat- ion all right on a photostatic copy of a. page from a history: but the canny Scot sent me a bill for the job—sornething over a dollar, if my memory serves. I paid, but I could hardly charge it to my read- er, so I posted it to the wrong side of the Profit and Loss A/Cl An Old Coin I have enjoyed the letters con- cerning old coins and token money. which have appeared in The Guardian. of a collection which I formed in the Old Country I -brought but one coin to P. E, Island. It is a Roman coin, sixteen hund- 1-ed years old, of bronze about 3-4 of an inch across, and very roughly finished on the milling or edge. on the obverse is the head of the Emperor, a well executed profile. on the reverse. a winged figure in flowing robes, carrying what seems to be a torch in her right hand. The Romans abbrev- iated all their words on coins and ' tablets, in a manner confusing to‘ all but veteran archaeologists, so I am unable to make out anything but the name ‘Constans!’ Gonstans, I find, was t a young- est son of Constantine i e Great. and on his father's death received part oi Greece, Italy and Africa as his share of the Empire. He was weak and profligate, say the hi:tor- ians and was slain by a soldier in the year 360. A. D. My coin and a few hundred others were found in a well near the Roman Wall. The Romans. under- some stress or other, had lowered the army pay-check into the well, and covered the opening with a big stone. Time covered it with a thick layer of soil till about 1850 when the well was excavaiedi and the treasure found. In the year i801 I visited the Wall and made pencil drawings of various structures—which I still have. I made friends with an excavator who gave me the coin.. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. un- der date A. D 418, says “This year the Romans collected all the hoards of gold that were in Britain; ' and some they hid in the earth, so that no men afterwards might find them, and some they carried away with them to Gaul." This refers to the withdrawal of the Romans from Britain, and for "gold" read “coin" (gold, silver and bronze). Notes on Chairs. Not long ago, in in mainland paper, appeared a complaint against the local cinamh: the seats had vertical backs, and the writer wanted them to slant backwards.
