SCOTCH FISHERIES BOARD.—The Chancellor of the
Exchequer has resolved ou a further investigation into
the public advantage of continuing the Scotch Fisheries
Board, and has selected Mr. Bonamy Price and Mr. St.
John, the latter an officer of the Customs, to conduct
the inquiries; and report on the whole question.
DISCOVERY OT ANCIENT WALL PAINTINGS.—Recent
reparations in Hadleigh church, Essex, have been the
means of bringing to light some interesting mural deco-
rations, which, under the care and superintendence of
the Rev. W. E. Heygate and Mr. H. W. King, will
furnish the ecclesiastical antiquary with curious examples
of the modes of adorning our churches in the middle
ages and with examples of the artistic skill of the
designers and decorations. The paintings in Hadleigh
Church are of at least four distinct periods—the oldest
and the beat in style being of the 13th century. The
latest of the 15th century, upon the north wall, is a
demi figure of the "Virgin Crowned and a Woman in
the attitude of Supplication." Near this is the entire
figure of " St. James the Less," to whom the church is
dedicated. Among the paintings of a later date is a
very large representation of the legend of " St.. George
and the Dragon," with all the accessories necessary to
the full comprehension of the story, such as the " King
and the Queen, and their beautiful daughter, who was
given up to be devoured by the monster, which is repre-
sented as pierced through the head by the spear of the
Champion of Christendom." On the staircase leading
to the rood loft is a figure of Beckett in pontificals, and,
in Lombardia characters, " Beatus Tomas." It is to be
feared that it will be impossible to preserve all these
curious paintings ; but Mr. King is making careful
drawings, and Mr. Heygate is spoiling no pains,in order
that they may
be fully uucoyered
