Minor Queries.
_Queries relating to the Porter Family._--Above the inscription on the
tablet erected by a devoted friend to the memory of this highly-gifted
family in Bristol Cathedral, is a medallion of a portcullis surrounded by
the word AGINCOURT, and surmounted by the date 1415.--What connexion is
there between Agincourt[2] and the Porter family?

Did Sir R. K. Porter write on account of Sir John Moore's campaign in the
Peninsula?--What is the title of the book, and where can it be procured?[3]
Who was Charles Lempriere Porter (who died Feb. 14, 1831, aged thirty-one),
mentioned on the Porter tombstone in St. Paul's churchyard at Bristol?--Who
was Phoebe, wife of Dr. Porter, who died Feb. 20, 1845, aged seventy-nine,
and whose name also occurs on this stone?
Did this family (which is now supposed to be extinct) claim descent from
