During my perusal of Mr. Jesse's pleasant volumes, I marked two or three
slips of the pen, which it may not be amiss to make a note of.
In vol. i. pp. 403, 404, 405., there is a curious treble error regarding
Thomas Sutton, the munificent founder of the Charter House. He is
successively styled _Sir_ Thomas, _Sir Richard_, and _Sir Robert_. Sutton's
Christian name was Thomas. He was never knighted. Of the quaint leaden case
which incloses his remains, and of its simple inscription, an accurate
drawing, with accompanying particulars, by your able correspondent Mr. E.
B. PRICE, was inserted in the _Gent. Mag._ for January, 1843, p. 43. The
inscription runs thus: "1611. THOMAS SUTTON, ESQUIAR."
Vol. ii. pp. 34, 35, 36. Mr. Jesse's ingenious suggestions relative to the
tradition of the burial of Oliver Cromwell in Red Lion Square, merit the
careful attention of all London antiquaries.
Ib. p. 316.:
"There is no evidence of Clement's Inn having been a Court of Law
previous to 1486."
