With your leave. I shall therefore propose the following Queries,
viz.:--
1. Who was the author of the anonymous life of the second Duke
of Ormonde, published in one volume octavo, some years after his
attainder?
2. Was the ballad, of which the above is a fragment, printed at the
time; and if so, does it exist?
3. What pamphlets, ballads, or fugitive pieces, were issued from the
press, or privately printed, on the occasion of the Duke's flight and
subsequent attainder?
4. Does any contemporary writer mention facts or incidents relative to
the matter in question, between the period of the accession of George
I., and the Duke's final departure from his residence at Richmond?
5. Does any traditionary or unpublished information on the subject
exist in or about London or Richmond.

MAYORS.--WHAT IS THEIR CORRECT PREFIX?
I wish to ask, of any of your numerous readers, what may be considered
the most proper official prefix for Mayors, whether Right Worshipful
or Worshipful? Opinions, I find, differ upon the subject. In the
_Secretary's Guide_, 5th ed. p. 95. it is said that Mayors are Right
Worshipful; the late Mr. Beltz, _Lancaster Herald_, was of opinion
that they were Worshipful only; and Mr. Dod, the author of a work on
Precedence, &c.
