_Ancient Timber Town-halls_ (Vol. v., pp. 257. 295. 470.).--During a visit

to Sudbury in Suffolk in 1828, I was much struck with the old

quaint-looking timber building used for corporate purposes, called the Moot

Hall; I made a rude pen-and-ink sketch of the principal front. On a

subsequent visit I found this building was standing, but that it had ceased

to be used, a new town-hall having been erected. Since then I hear that the

Moot Hall has been pulled down and its site thrown into the market-place.

If I recollect rightly, the principal window of twelve lights was unglazed.
