_Pimlico_ (No. 24. p. 383.).--I see, by a passage in Lord Orrery's

Letters, that there was a place called Pemlicoe in Dublin:--

"Brown is fluctuant; he once lay at a woman's house in

Pemlicoe, Dublin." (_Earl of Orrery to Duke of Ormond_, Feb.

5. 1663, in _Orrery's State Letters_.)

This may be of use to "R.H.," who inquires about the origin of

_Pimlico_. _Ranelaugh_, in the same parts, is doubtless also of Irish

origin.
