_"More" Queries._--

"When _More_ some years had Chancellor been,

No _more_ suits did remain;

The same shall never _more_ be seen,

Till _More_ be there again."

I infer from the first lines of this epigram that Sir Thomas More, by his

unremitting attention to the business of the Court of Chancery, had brought

to a close, in his day, the litigation in that department. Is there any

authentic record of this circumstance?

Are there, at the present day, any male descendants of Sir Thomas More, so

as to render possible the fulfilment of the prophecy contained in the last

two lines?
