_Lord Clarendon and the Tubwoman_ (Vol. vii., p. 211.).--I regret having
omitted "when found, to make a note of," the number of Chambers' _Edinburgh
Journal_ in which I met with the anecdote referred to about Sir Thomas
Aylesbury, which is given at considerable length; and having lent my set of
"Chambers" to a friend at a distance, I cannot at present furnish the
reference required; but L. will find it in one of the volumes between 1838
and 1842 inclusive. I do not recollect that the periodical writer gave his
authority for the tale, but while it may very possibly be true as regards
the wife of Sir Thomas Aylesbury, it is evident that his daughter, a
wealthy heiress, could never have been in such a position; and it is not
recorded that Lord Clarendon had any other wife.
