​MARLEY. (Lieut., 1809. f-p., 21; h-p., 34.)
Robert Roper Marley entered the Navy in 1792, as an Officer’s Servant, on board the Powerful 74, in which ship, commanded by Capts. Thos, Hicks, Wm. Albany Otway, Fisher, and Wm. O’Brien Drury, he served, on the St. Helena, West India, Channel, North Sea, and Mediterranean stations, until 1800 – the last five years in the capacity of Midshipman. On 11 Oct. 1797 he was present in the action off Camperdown. After a servitude of 20 months in the Proselyte, Capt. Geo. Fowke, Mr. Marley, towards the close of 1802, at which period he was in the West Indies, became attached to the Leviathan 74, bearing the flag of Sir John Thos. Duckworth, with whom and with the late Vice-Admiral Jas. Rich. Dacres he continued employed in the same ship and in the Hercule 74 until 1806; during which period he took part in the operations against the French at St. Domingo, and was for a time detached in the Gracieuse tender of 12 guns, commanded by Mr. T. B. Smith, Midshipman. In that vessel, after having assisted at the capture of a large Spanish schooner, and exchanged fire with a French sloop within gun-shot of the forts of the city of St. Domingo, he shared in a very gallant conflict which terminated in the destruction, 11 April, 1805, of a schooner carrying 1 long brass 12-pounder, mounted on a circle amidships, 2 long brass 4-pounder carriage-guns, and 4 brass 3-pounder swivels, with a crew of 96 men. A wound he received on the occasion procured him a grant from the Patriotic Society. In April 1806 and Jan. 1807 he was successively nominated Acting Sub-Lieutenant of the Pelican sloop, Capt. Wm. Ward, and Pike schooner, Lieut.-Commander John Ottley, also in the West Indies, where, after he had again served for nine months as Midshipman in the Veteran 64 flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Dacres, he became Acting-Lieutenant of the Drake sloop, Capt. John Fleming. He removed in a similar capacity, in the following July, to the Jasper 10, Capt. Wm. Westcott Daniel, stationed on the coasts of Spain, France, and Portugal; and on 31 Dec. 1809 he was confirmed a Lieutenant in the Alfred 74, Capts Joshua Rowley Watson and Joshua Sydney Horton. Being subsequently, on his return from a second visit to the West Indies, ordered off Cadiz he was there, in Feb. 1812, placed in command of ​gun-boat No. 7, and employed in the defence of that place. He went back to the Alfred in the ensuing April, but left her in Sept. of the same year; and was lastly, from 6 Aug. 1813 to 7 July, 1814, stationed off the coast of Ireland in the Avon sloop, Capt. Geo. Rose Sartorius.
He is in the receipt, for his wounds, of a pension of 91l. 5s.

There is no entry of his admission on the books, which may have occurred before the date of the earliest Register; but he is said by Foxe, the martyrologist, to have been bred to the study of the law and to have been residing in the Middle Temple, when he was arrested by the Serjeant-at-arms and brought before the Lord Chancellor at Chertsey. He was the son of "Master Bainham, a knight of Gloucestershire." After his arrest he was sent to the Tower and put on the rack, "because he would not accuse the gentlemen of the Temple of his acquaintance nor show where his books lay." He was then brought before the Bishop of London, and finally condemned and burned at the stake at Smithfield, 30 April, 1532. He married the widow of Simon Fish, author of the Supplication of Beggars.

Admitted 3 February, 1823.
Second son of Jonathan Austin, of Mile End, and brother of John Austin, the celebrated Jurist. He had a brilliant career at Cambridge, and at the Middle Temple he read in the chambers of Sir William Follett. He was called to the Bar 25 May, 1827, and twenty years later was appointed Reader at the Inn. In 1841 he was made Queen's Counsel and obtained unprecedented success at the Parliamentary Bar. He was, however, equally celebrated as a scholar and brilliant conversationalist, and having acquired a large fortune, he retired from professional work in 1848, and till his death in 1874 lived the quiet life of an English country gentleman in Suffolk. During his life he contributed much to the Parliamentary Retrospective and Westminster Reviews, but left no published works behind him. He was one of a brilliant group of intellectual giants, which included Macaulay, Mill, Praed (q.v.), Romilly, Cockburn (q.v.) and Moultrie (q.v.). The last named wrote of him:
"No keener in it. No intellect more subtle, none more bold Was found in all our host."
and J. S. Mill speaks of him as "the really influential mind amongst these gladiators."

He died at Chelsea, 7 April, 1749, leaving a great reputation for learning and especially for knowledge of polite literature. His own literary work, however, was small, and is contained in a volume published after his death, entitled. Critical, Historical, and Explanatory Notes upon Hudibras … with a Dissertation upon Burlesque Poetry (1752).

Admitted 25 November, 1608.
Second son of Edward Bagshawe, of the City of London. He was born of a respectable Derbyshire family in London about 1584. He was called to the Bar 27 Jan. 1615. Being "a knowing man in his profession" (as he is styled by Wood), he became a Bencher, and in 1639 was elected Lent Reader of the Inn. In his readings he attacked Episcopacy, and was consequently stopped by Lord Keeper Finch. This, however, only tended to make him popular with the Republican party, and in the following year he was returned for Southwark in their interest. Nevertheless he subsequently joined the King's party, and suffered imprisonment for his loyalty. He was released in 1646, and at the time of the King's return in 1660 was Treasurer of the Inn. He died two years afterwards. His published works, which all relate to the political and religious controversies of the time, are as follows: The Life and Death of Mr. Robert Bolton [his tutor at Oxford] (1633); Several Speeches in Parliament (1640—1642); Two Arguments in Parliament [respecting the Canons and Præmunire] (1641); Treatise defending the Revenues of the Church in Tithes and Glebe (1646); Short Censure of Will. Prynne's Book, entitled The University of Oxford's Plea refuted [2 sheets] (1648); ​Just Vindication of the Questioned Part of his Reading had in the Middle Temple Hall, 24 Feb. 1639 (1660); True Narrative of the Cause of Silencing him by the Archbishop of Canterbury [in Rushworth's Collections, vol. 3, p. 990]; The Rights of the Crown of England as it is established by Law (1660). He has left also in MS. A Short Defence of the Reformation of the Church of England [dated London, 1654].

Admitted 5 April, 1705.
Third son of John Auchmuty, of Newtown, co. Longford, Ireland. He was educated in Dublin, but after his call to the Bar on 23 Nov. 1711, settled in Boston (U.S.A.). There he became, in 1733, a Judge in the Admiralty Court of the district, and held the post until 1747. In 1741 he was deputed to proceed to England to settle the dispute respecting the boundary line of Massachussetts and Rhode Island, and while there he conceived the plan for adding Cape Breton and Louisburg to the Colonies. He died April, 1750.
Judge Auchmuty was the grandfather of Sir Samuel Auchmuty, the distinguished Indian General. He was the author of a pamphlet entitled. The Importance of Cape Breton to the British Nation (1745).

Third son of Frederick Ayrton, of Bombay, and a Barrister of Gray's Inn. Before his entry to the Temple he had been a solicitor at Bombay. After his call to the Bar, 30 April, 1853, he devoted himself to politics and entered Parliament as a Liberal for the Tower Hamlets (1857). He interested himself greatly in London Municipal Reform, and in 1868 was made Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury. In 1869 he was made a Privy Councillor and First Commissioner of Works. In the latter position he showed great zeal for economy and made many enemies, which led to his transfer to the post of Judge-Advocate-General in 1873. With the fall of Mr. Gladstone's ministry in 1874 his political career came to an end. He died at Bournemouth, 30 Nov. 1886.

Admitted 10 May, 1742.
Second son of Robert Baillie, of Celbridge, co. Kildare. He was born at Kilbride, 5 June, 1723, and educated at Dublin under Dr. Sheridan (grandfather of Richard Brinsley Sheridan). He soon abandoned his purpose of studying the law, and entered the army, where, as lieutenant of foot, he fought at Culloden and Minden. He subsequently joined the cavalry, but in 1773 obtained a civil appointment as Commissioner of Stamps. During all his employments, however, his leisure was devoted to Art, and especially to engraving and etching, in which he became proficient. He died in Paddington 22 Dec. 1810.
His best-known works were reproductions from the Flemish school, and include Rembrandt's Christ Healing the Sick, and Jesus Disputing with the Doctors, which may be considered his master-pieces.
# A Truthful Song

From Rewards and Fairies (1910), where it accompanies the story The Wrong Thing.
THE BRICKLAYER:
I tell this tale, which is strictly true, Just by way of convincing you How very little, since things were made, Things have altered in the building trade.
A year ago, come the middle of March,
We was building flats near the Marble Arch,
When a thin young man with coal-black hair
Came up to watch us working there.
Now there wasn't a trick in brick or stone
Which this young man hadn't seen or known;
Nor there wasn't a tool from trowel to maul
But this young man could use 'em all!
Then up and spoke the plumbyers bold,
Which was laying the pipes for the hot and cold: "Since you with us have made so free,
Will you kindly say what your name might be?"
The young man kindly answered them;
"It might be Lot or Methusalem,
Or it might be Moses (a man I hate)
Whereas it is Pharaoh surnamed the Great.
"Your glazing is new and your plumbing's strange,
But otherwise I perceive no change; And in less than a month if you do as I bid
I'd learn you to build me a Pyramid!"
THE SAILOR:
I tell this tale, which is stricter true, Just by way of convincing you How very little, since things was made, Things have altered in the shipwrights trade.
In Blackwall Basin yesterday
A China barque re-fitting lay;
When a fat old man with snow-white hair
Came up to watch us working there.
Now there wasn't a knot which the riggers knew
But the old man made it - and better too;
Nor there wasn't a sheet, or a lift, or a brace,
But the old man knew its lead and place.
Then up and spoke the caulkyers bold,
Which was packing the pump in the afterhold:
"Since you with us have made so free,
Will you kindly tell what your name might be?"
The old man kindly answered them:
"It might be japheth, it might be Shem,
Or it might be Ham (though his skin was dark), Whereas it is Noah, commanding the Ark.
"Your wheel is new and your pumps are strange, But otherwise I perceive no change; And in less than a week, if she did not ground,
I'd sail this hooker the wide world round!"
BOTH:
We tell these tales, which are strictest true, Just by way of convincing you How very little, since things was made, Anything alters in any one's trade!

# A Tulip with a Runner

A TULIP WITH A RUNNER
By Frederick H. Blodgett
A number of young tulip bulbs were planted in November, in a shallow box for indoor cultivation. On January 23, 1901, one of these plants was removed from the soil for examination. The leaf was several inches long, but still tightly rolled, as the plants were kept in a dark room. From the bottom of the bulb a runner extended obliquely downward for two inches or more. The tip was broken in lifting the plant from the soil, so that it could not be examined. The appearance of the bulb is shown, natural size, at Fig. 1.
| Fig. 1. | Fig. 2. |
The bulb was cut open in the plane of the runner. In origin the runner was found to be quite similar to those of Erythronium. The base of the runner and that of the leaf stalk are continuous, and form a continuous core through the center of the bulb. By the side of this core there was another, much less developed. The leaf portion of this core was hardly differentiated from the ​common central mass, but the runner was easily recognized as a small bud projecting downward from the bottom of the core. In Fig. 2 the two cores are shown as they appeared in place within the bulb. The smaller core is hidden beneath the larger in the first figure (2, a).
The two cores were united to each other and to the bulb tissue by a common stem or stalk. The stalk of the smaller core was longer than the other, as is seen in the figure (2, b). This stalk, or point of union between bulb tissue and sprout or vegetative tissue is not at the point nearest to the root fibers as is the case in Eyrthronium, but is at a little distance from that point. The roots form a compact bundle of fibers at the bottom, rather than at one side of the base, of the bulb. But the runner issues in the two genera (Erythronium and Tulipa) from the bottom of the immature bulbs, when produced.

# A Tryst

I looked upon her marble face,
 Upon her lips I pressed a prayer.
For me, ah, not for you, the grace,  You were not there, You were not there.
I see the stars shine cold and red,
 I look into the unbounded air; Yet this was all their shining said:  You were not there, you were not there.
So, oftentimes when it has happed  That those who loved are torn apart; When the tense silver cord has snapped  That held us loving, heart to heart.
We cry: Oh dear one, where art thou?  In all God’s universe of space, Shall not the Love eternal show  To you and me some trysting place?
