T.

_Queen's Messengers._--In answer to the query of your correspondent

"J.U.G.G.," in No. 12., p. 186., I beg to call his attention to the

authority quoted in the passage respecting the "Knightes caligate of

Armes," to which he alludes, in Mr. C. Knight's _London_. He will find

that he is referred to Legh's _Accedens of Armory_, and Upton, _De

Studio Militari_. The latter wrote in the early part of the fifteenth

century. We are at present, I believe, without earlier information on

such subjects.

Whilst I am writing to you, may I ask you to correct a printer's error

in my query in the same number, where "trepon" appears instead of

"jupon"? It may save a query as to what I could mean by the former.
