_Sawbridge and Knight's Numismatic Collections._--In Snelling's tract on

_Pattern Pieces for English Gold and Silver Coins_ (1769), p. 45., it is

stated, in the description of a gold Coin of Elizabeth, that it is "unique,

formerly in the collection of Thomas Sawbridge, Esq., but at present in the

collection of Thomas Knight, Esq., who purchased the whole cabinet."--Can

any of your readers inform me who this Mr. Knight was, and whether his

collection is still in existence; or if it was dispersed, when, and in what

manner? I am not aware of any sale catalogue under his name.
