Old Broad Street.

_Little Silver._--There are several places in Devonshire so called,

villages or hamlets. It is said, they are alway situated in the immediate

neighbourhood of a Roman, or some other ancient camp. Hence, some people

suppose the name is given to these localities from the number of silver

coins frequently found there.

Will any of your correspondents throw light on this subject?

As every one knows, there is also a Silverton in Devonshire--Silver-town

_par excellence_. Is it in any way connected with the "Little Silvers?"
