At the foot of the monument were the words--
"Depouilles mortelles de Jacques 2. Roi d'Angleterre."
A third monumental inscription to the memory of James II., in Latin, is to
be seen in the chapel of the Scotch College in Paris. This memorial was
erected in 1703, by James, Duke of Perth. An urn, containing the brains of
the king, formerly stood on the top of it. A copy of this inscription is
preserved in the _Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica_, vol. vii.

JUDGE CRADOCK.
My transplantation from Gloucester to Devonshire, and the consequent
unapproachable state of my books, prevents my referring to authorities at
the moment in support of what I have said about the arms of Judge Cradock
_alias_ Newton: still I wish to notice the subject at once that I may not
appear to shrink from the Query of S.A.Y. (Vol. ii., p. 371.)
I happen to have at hand a copy of the Grant {428} of Arms to Sir John of
East Harptree, Somerset, in 1567 in which, on the authority of the heralds
of the day, arg. on a chevron az. 3 garbs or, are granted to him in the
first quarter as the arms of Robert Cradock _alias_ Newton. The Judge seems
to have been the first of the family who dropped the name of Cradock.
