_Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester._--I should be glad if any of your

correspondents would refer me to any authentic account of the death of

Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Queen Elizabeth's favourite. He is

said by some to have been _accidentally_ poisoned by his wife; by others

_purposely_, by some of his adherents. This affair, though clouded in

mystery, appears not to have been particularly inquired into. Likewise

let me ask, on what authority is Stanfield Hall, Norfolk (the scene of a

recent tragedy), described as the birthplace of Amy Robsart, the

unfortunate first wife of this same nobleman?
