_Alleged Bastardy of Elizabeth._--In the State Paper Office (_Dom. Pap._,
temp. Jac. I.), there is, under date of 1608, a letter from Mr.
Chamberlaine to Sir Dudley Carleton, of October 28, in which Chamberlaine
says:
"I heare of a Bill put into the Exchequer, concerninge much lande that
sh^d be alienated on account of the alleged bastardy of Queen
Elizabeth."
P. C. S. S. is desirous to know whether there be any record in the Court of
Exchequer which bears out this singular statement.
