_Whittington's Stone on Highgate Hill._--It is well that there is a "N. &

Q." to record the removal and disappearance of noted objects and relics of

antiquity, as one after another disappears before the destroying hand of

Time, and more ruthless and relentless spirit of enterprise. I have to ask

you on the present occasion to record the removal of Whittington's stone on

Highgate Hill. I discovered it as I strolled up the hill a few days since.

I was informed that it was removed about a fortnight since, and a

public-house is now being built where it stood.
