_Sir Stephen Fox._--Chambers' _Journal_, No. 515., Nov. 12, 1853, p. 320.,

says:

"Charles James Fox, who died in 1806, at the age of fifty-seven, had an

uncle who was paymaster of the forces in 1679, the year of the battle

of Bothwell Bridge, and his grandfather was on the scaffold with

Charles I."

After consulting several books on the subject, I find that this latter

statement is just possible; but I cannot learn under what circumstances Sir

Stephen Fox accompanied Charles I. to the scaffold. Can any of your readers

give me the desired information?
