bundles of arrows, for the then intended war
against France. In the sth year of Edward IV.
an Act passed, that every Englishman, and Irish-
man dwelling with Englishmen, shall have an
English bow of his own height, which is directed
to be made of yew, wych, hazel, ash, or aw-
burne, or any other reasonable tree, according to
their power. The next chapter also directs that
butts shall be made in every township, which
the inhabitants are obliged to shoot up and
down every feast-day, under the penalty of a half-
penny when they shall omit this exercise. Ri-
chard 111., by his attention to archery, was able
to send 1,000 bowmen to the Duke of Bretagne,
and he availed himself of the same troops at the
battle of Bosworth. Though archery continued
to be encouraged by the king and legislature for
more than two centuries after the first knowledge
of the effects of gunpowder, yet by the latter end
of the reign of Henry VIII. it seems to have
been partly considered as a pastime. Upon one
occasion, Henry and the Queen were met by 200
archers on Shooter's-hill, which probably took
its name from their assembling near it to shoot
:at marks. 'this King likewise gave the first
charter to the Artillery Company* in the
39th year of his reign, by which they are
permitted to wear dresses of any colour except
purple and scarlet, to shoot not only at marks
but birds, if not pheasants or herons, and within
two miles of the royal palaces. Chaucer in his
prologue to the Canterbury Tales thus describes
an archer of his day
And he was Glade in cote and hode of green,
A shefe of peacock arwes bright and keen
Under his belt he bare full thriftily ;
Wel cou4e he dresse his takel yew manly,
His arwes drouped not with fetheres lowe,
And in his hand he bore a mighty bowe."
The Bth Eliz. c. 10, regulates the price of
bows ; it enacts that bow-staves shall be brought
into the realm from the Hanse-towns ; so that
archery still continued to be an object of atten-
tion to the legislature. King Charles I. twice
granted Special Commissions under the Great
Seal for enforcing the use of the long-bow. In
fact, archery seems never to have been without

Royal patronage. The most noted society now
existing, is the Royal Company of Archers in
Scotland. It is said they owe their origin to
the Commissioners of James 1., for enforcing
and overlooking the exercise of Archery in
different counties. In the year 1703, they ob-
tained from Queen Anne a royal charter,
confirming all their former rights and privi-
leges, and conferring others upon them. From
their partiality to the house of Stuart, they
here, for a season, under a cloud. But in 1788
their prosperity revived, and George 111., as a
mark of his Royal patronage, gave them a prize,
as his predecessors had done, which was shot
for on the 28th of July in that year. There
are many companies of Archers in England ;
the chief of which are, the Woodmen of Arden,
and the Toxophilite ; between these and the
Royal Company of Scotland, some years since,
reciprocal diplomas passed for the admission of
each other's members ; so that the three chief
societies of archers in Britain may now be said
to be incorporated into one. Having given our
readers this brief historical notice on archery, we
may, perhaps, in some future number, add some
account of the ancient weapons, dresses, and
other interesting particulars connected with the
subject.

The Artillery Company of London, though they have long
disused the weapon, arc the remains of the ancient fraternity of
Bowmen or Archers.

Mr. Serjeant SELLON—That is no reason why
you should give your clothes away in exchange for
those in which you are now attired. -Mr. Lloyd----I
did so from pure motives of charity.
Mr. Serjeant SELLON—But you ought to consider
the danger of putting on the apparel of this man
(pointing to Sullivan). It is not impossible that be
is labouring under some infectious disease.—Nlr.
Lloyd—l have no fear of the consequences. Even
if he was afflicted with the cholera, I believe I should
be protected.

Mr. Sedeant SELLON—Have you any friends
here ?—I have not.

Mr. Serjeant SELLON—I confess I should like to
see some of your friends. You are likely to be in-
terrupted in the streets if you are allowed to leave
this office ; and then, if you are the means of creat-
ing a disturbance, you are as liable to the conse-
quences as any other person. I must repeat, that
I believe that any man who would act as you
have done cannot be otherwise than deranged.—
Mr. Lloyd—l can refer you to the firm of Hanbury,
Taylor, and Lloyd, the bankers, who will satisfy
you as to my sanity. They are fully acquainted with
my belief. The Clergyman who breakfasted with
me this morning is partly of my own opinion.
Mr. Serjeant SELLON.— Will you consent to
dress yourself in your own clothes ?—Mr. Lloyd—
Certainly not, I gave them to that poor young man
(pointing to Sullivan), and I insist upon his keep-
ing them. The clothes he has given me in exchange
I am determined to wear.

Mr. Serjeant SELLON—(tO Sullivan)—What bu-
siness had you to take this gentleman's clothes ?
Mr. Lloyd—l exonerate him from all blame. It is
my own act, and I will abide by the consequences.
I demand my discharge. You have no right to de-
tain me, and I will not be insulted.

Mr. Serjeant SELLON—You shall not be insulted.
I wish to protect you.—Mr. Lloyd—l thank you, Sir.
Mr. Serjeant SELLON—If I send for a coach, will
you go 'home ?—Mr. Lloyd—lt is not my intention
to go home at present.
Mr. Serjeant SELLON—Then I must see your
friends before you are liberated.—Mr. Lloyd—This
is very strange conduct. Am I not at liberty to
dress as a poor man ? After a short time I may
think proper to dress in my usual way, but, for the
present, I prefer that which I now wear.
A gentleman, who stated that he was Secretary
to the Rector of St. Giles's, here stepped forward,
and offered to procure Mr. Lloyd suitable apparel
to make his appearance in public.
Mr. Lloyd said he was much obliged for the gra-
