_D'Israeli on the Court of Wards._--D'Israeli, in his article upon
"Usurers of the Seventeenth Century" (_Curios. of Lit._ iii. 89. old
ed.), which is chiefly upon Hugh Audley, a master of the Court of Wards
and Liveries, speaks of that court as "a remarkable institution, on
which I purpose to make some researches." Can any of your readers inform
me if D'Israeli acted upon this resolve, and, if so, where the results
of labours are to be found?
