_A Kemble Pipe of Tobacco._--In the county of Herefordshire, the people
call the last or concluding pipe that any one means to smoke at a
sitting, a _Kemble pipe._ This is said to have originated in a man of
the name of Kemble, who in the cruel persecution under Queen Mary, being
condemned for heresy, in his walk of some miles from the prison to the
stake, amidst a crowd of weeping friends and neighbours, with the
tranquillity and fortitude of a primitive martyr, _smoked a pipe of
tobacco_! Is anything known of this Kemble? and where can I find any
corroboration of the story here told?
