_Miniature Ring of Charles I._ (Vol. vi., p. 578.).--One of the four rings
inquired for is in the possession of Mrs. Andrew Henderson, of 102.
Gloucester Place, Portman Square, formerly Miss Adolphus. It came to her in
the female line, through her mother's family. The unfortunate Charles I.
presented it to Sir Lionel Walden, on the morning on which he lost his
life. It bears (as the other one alluded to in Hulbert's _History of
Salop_) a miniature likeness of the king, set in small brilliants. Inside
the ring are the words, "Sic transit gloria regum." Mrs. Henderson
understood the four rings to have been presented as follows:--Bishop Juxon,
Sir Lionel Walden, Colonel Ashburnham, and Herbert his secretary. Which of
the four is now in the possession of the Misses Pigott is not mentioned.
