_Sir J. Covert, not Govett_ (Vol. vii., p. 85.).--QUÆRO may be perfectly
assured that there never was a baronet of the name of Govett, nor a member
of parliament so called. P. C. S. S. is confident that the individual to
whom QUÆRO refers, as having sat in the second parliament of Charles II.,
must have been Sir John Covert, Baronet, who was member for Horsham. The
misnomer would not be surprising in a list which contains such names as
Nosrooth for Noseworthy, Cowshop for Courthope, Meestry for Masters, and
Grubbaminton and Zerve for Heaven knows what!
