_Lady High Sheriff_ (Vol. vii., p. 236.).--Your correspondent W. M. is
informed that in Duncumb's _Herefordshire_ there is no mention made of the
fact, that a lady executed the office of high sheriff of the county. The
high sheriffs for the years 1768--1771 inclusive were Richard Gorges,
William Nourse, Price Clutton, and Charles Hoskyns, Bart. The lady alluded
to would be the widow of one of these.
