_Female Parish Clerks_ (Vol. viii., p. 474.).--Within the last
half-century, a Mrs. Sheldon discharged the duties of this post at the
parish church of Wheatley, five miles from Oxford, and near Cuddesdon, the
residence of the Bishop of Oxford. This clerkship was previously filled by
her husband; but, upon his demise, she became his successor. It is not a
week since that I saw a relation who was an eye-witness of this fact.
