_The Surname Devil_ (Vol. v., p. 370.).--In answer to your
correspondent, who inquires whether there are any persons named _Devil_,
I beg to say that there is (or was, two years since) a person of that
name, a labouring man, residing in the hamlet of Aston, in the parish of
Hope, Derbyshire. Whether there are more of the name living there, I am
unable to state; but I remember distinctly hearing of one, and the name
being so peculiar, fixed itself in my memory.
