_Cromwell Relics_.--In Noble's _Memorials of the Protectorate House of

Cromwell_ it is stated, in the Proofs and Illustrations, Letter N, that

in 1784, there were dispersed in St. Ives a great number of swords,

bearing the initials of the Protector upon them; and, further, that a

large barn, which Oliver built there, was still standing, and went by

the name of Cromwell's Barn; and that the farmer then renting the farm

occupied by the Protector circa 1630-36, marked his sheep with the

identical marking-irons which Oliver used, and which had O.C. upon them.

Can any of your correspondents inform me if any of these relics are

still in existence, and, if so, where?
