ANCIENT SEA WALLS.
Punishment That Was Inflicted For
NegIecttng Their Repair.

W. II. Wheeler in his History Of the
Tens OF South Lincolnshire quotes
Harrison as saying, in his preface to
Holinshed's Chronicle" that "such
as, having walls or banks near unto
the sea, do suffer the same to decay,
after convenient admonition, whereby
the water entereth and drowneth up
the country, are by certain ancient
custom apprehended, condemned and
staked in the breach, where they re-
main forever a parcel of the new wall
that is to be made upon them, as /
have heard reported. 40.
Harrison, SO far as I am at present
able to make out, is the earliest au-
thority for this, and he only speaks of
it as a report.
In paper by the Rev. T. c. J. Spur
rell in 1.-The Archaeologia Cantiana" re
lating to hartford, I find the following,
which, though it is by no means proof
Of what Harrison had heard, tends tc
make the statement less improbable
than it otherwise would be:
an early times the Roman way
STOSS6u Tie 1udISu uulIouUlGu ny tuS
tide. Afterward, the tide having adj
vanced further inland, the road was
raised, becoming causeWay. In me-
diaeval times this bank was heighten-
ed against the tide, the road running
inside, as at present. During a section
made few years ago through this
road, near Stidolphs house, I saw a
human skeleton extended across the
bank about two feet below the pres
ent surface. This is, of course, 1
strange situation; but, looking to tho
fact that it was tide wall, it is pos
sible that the once owner Of the skele
ton had the duty of repairing the bank
and, having let the tide through by his
neglect, was placed in the breach, thus
helping to repair it while suffering
punishment. S. Smiles has mentioned
that such a mode of dealing was a me
diaeval custom. However, know moi
how far the ancient graveyard extend
ed hereabout, so that the body, which
showed no signs of burial might ye1
have been buried in sacred ground. ~

Cnthariue Parr.

Catharine Parr, the sixth wife Of the
much married Henry VIII, owed more
to her intellectual than to her personal
charms. She was not good looking,
but had a pleasant face and a world
of tact. So skillfully did she manage
her troublesome husband as actually
to turn him against some of the most
trusted of his own officials. Once an
order was made out for her arrest on
a charge of heresy, but she got news Of
the matter and so cleverly hattered
and soothed Henry as to effect COM
plete reconciliation, and when the Off
GERS came to serve the order he drove
them out with curses and threats.
