_Puzzle for the Heralds._--Some years ago Sir John Newport, Bart., and who
was married, and Sir Simon Newport, who had received the honour of
knighthood, and was also married, lived in or {514} near the city of
Waterford; and I have heard that owing to the frequent mistakes arising
from the two ladies being called each "Lady Newport," a case was sent to
Dublin for the opinion of the Ulster King of arms. It is said he himself
was puzzled; Sir Simon's lady was not "Lady Newport," for Sir John's lady
had a prior and higher claim; she was not "Lady Simon," for her husband was
not Lord Simon; but he ultimately decided that the lady was to be called
"Lady Sir Simon," and she was never afterwards known by any other title.
