	Gentleman's Magazine 1848 part 2 p.141 that day, and is false from beginning to end, for thay do not mention the Cliffords once as lords of the manor! We could ask Mr. George Shaw how he makes John de Burgham sheriff of Westmoreland in 25 Edward III. when we know Thomas de Bellocampo was sheriff - that in Brown Willis's Notitia the member for Cumberland in Rich. II. is John de Bronham not Burgham - that John de Brugham (Brigham) by the same author sat for Carlisle in 1394 - that instead of Thomas de Burgham sitting for Cumberland in 15 Hen. VI. it is on Willis's list John Broughton - that Thomas Brougham of Scales, who died 1648, was not sheriff of Cumberland at all - his name does not appear in the list in Eliz. James, or Charles the First, if that list be correct. We could ask far more questions than these, but we fear we have already trespassed too much on your valuable space, and we only give one solitary word of admonition to Mr. George Shaw at parting, who we think cannot accuse us this time of any thing but pleasantry towards him - that the next occasion in which he goes from St. Chad's to write history in Westmoreland, he will andeavour to make huimself more master of facts, and "compile less from memory." Yours, &c. OLD SUBSCRIBERS.
