_Compositions during the Protectorate_ (Vol. iv., pp. 406. 490.).--W. H.
L. suspects that there is an error in the list of these compositions for
Lincolnshire, as given in Oldfield's _History of Wainfleet_, and asks,
"Where is there any account or list of these?" H. F. refers W. H. L. to
a small volume entitled _A Catalogue of the Lords, Knights, and
Gentlemen that have compounded for their Estates_. London, 1655. I have
compared Oldfield's list with the reprint of the _Catalogue_ (Chester,
1733), and find that, with some slight exceptions, they agree. Oldfield,
however, omits the following compositions for Lincolnshire:
