as the reit of the gueifs have, and their successors'after them.”

And in the Ironmongers’ book it is itated under the date of 1531, that
“ Mr. John Guyva gave a herse-cloth richly embroydered.” The in-

Our engraving is copied from the top of the Pall, which is made of
rich crimson embossed velvet embroidered with gold. The head, foot,
and iides are now formed of black velvet, on which a portion of the old
cmbroideries have been sewn, the reit having most probably been deitroy-
ed on account of their worn and dilapidated condition.
For the above particulars we are indebted to the kindness of John
Nicholls, Esq. a member of the court of the Ironmongers’ Company.
