_Mentmore, Bucks, Notes from Register of._--Having recently had occasion
to go through the entire registers of the parish of Mentmore, Bucks, I
send you three extracts, not noticed by Lipscombe, the two first
relating to an extinct branch of the house of Hamilton, the third
illustrating the "Manners and Customs of the English" at the end of the
seventeenth century.
"1732, William Hamilton, an infant son of Lord Viscount Limerick, Feb.
28."
"1741. The Honourable Charles Hamilton, son of Lord Viscount Limerick,
Jan. 4."
"Memorand. A beggar woman of Slapton, whipt at Mentmoir, July 5th,
1698."
