_Judge Smith_ (Vol. vii., p. 13.).--Judge Smith lived towards the close of

Queen Elizabeth's reign, and was noted for severity against witches. His

monument is in Chesterfield Church. He belonged to the ancient family

seated at Dunston Hall, near that town, which I believe has lately ended in

co-heiresses. The late Sir J. E. Smith was of the same family: his father,

a considerable merchant of Norwich, married a Kindersley descended from

Geoffrey,--who was queried in Vol. vi., p. 603., and is ancestor of the

present Vice-Chancellor.
