THE TITLE OF ESQUIRE.
Real esquires are of seven sorts. 1. Esquires of the
King's body, whose number is limited to four. 2. The
eldest sons of Knights, and their eldest eons born during
their lifetime. It would seem that, in the days of ancient
warfare, the Knight often took his eldest son into the
wars for the purpose of giving him a practical military
education, employing him meanwhile as his esquire. 3.
The eldest sons of the youngest sons of Peers of the
realm. 4. Such as the King invests with the collar of
SS, including the king of arms, heralds, &c. The dignity
of esquire was conferred by Henry IV. and his succes-
sors, by the investiture of the collar and the gift of a
pair of silver spurs. Gower, the poet, was such an
esquire by creation. 5. &quires to the Knights of the
Bath, for life, and their *Melt sons. 6. Sheriffs of
counties, for life, coroners and justices of the peace, and
gptitlemcn of the royal household, while they continue in
their respective offices. 7. Barristers-at. law, doctors of
divinity-, law, and medicines, mayors of towns, and some
others, are said to be of icutarial dignity, but not actual
esquires. Supposing this enumeration to comprise all
who are entitled to esquireshiro, it will be evident that
thousands of parties styled esquires are not so in reality.
It is a prevailing error that persons possessed of 3,000/.
a year in land are esquires, but an estate of 50,0001.
would not confer the dignity. Nothing but one or other
of the conditions above mentioned is ffi SU CIOUL— Curio
sities of Heraldry.

Mr. Alderman Salomons, up , and Mr. B.
Oliveira have been in Paris for some days, with the object of
endeavouring to obtain some arrangement by which the
Bordeaux and Cette, and Lyons and Avignon caution-
money may be either returned or taken into consideration
in the concession of any of the great lines of railway still re-
maining to be constructed.
