_Lady High Sheriff._--Can any of your Herefordshire readers inform me who
the lady was who served the office of high sheriff for that county,
somewhere about the years 1769 or 1770?
Her husband had been appointed, but dying shortly afterwards, his widow
took his place, and attended the judges with the javelin-men, dressed in
deep mourning. If any one could give me any {237} information about this
lady, I should be much obliged: I should be glad to know whether there is
another instance of a lady high sheriff on record?
