_Court of Wards._--I cannot tell "J.B." (No. 11. p. 173.) anything about
Mr. D'Israeli's researches in the Court of Wards; but "J.B." may be glad
to know that there is among the MSS. in the British Museum a treatise on
the Court of Wards. I remember seeing it, but have not read it. I dare
say it might be usefully published, for we know little in detail about
the Court of Wards.
