Soc., iii. 59), not, as in Gage's 'Hengrave,' pp. 235-6, on the 27th of December, 1568. His heir John Gage of Firle, already mentioned, lost his first wife somewhere about the year 1560. He and his second wife resided at Antwerp, with her brother Sir Thomas Copley, from March, 1573, to the beginning of 1576, having received the Queen's permission so to do. In the latter year John Gage and his three next surviving brothers, Thomas, George, and Edward, were all magistrates of Sussex, suspected of Popery (Strype, Ann.,' II. ii. 22). He appeared before the Privy Council on the 11th of August, 1580, and on the 13th was sent to the Fleet, whence he was released on bail on the 20th of June, 1581. He was ordered to be reimprisoned on the 2nd of August, 1581, but was again released on bail two days later ('P.C.A.,' N.S., xii. 150, 152; xiii. 94, 148, 157). On the 13th of March, 1589, he was appointed to remain in the custody of Richard Arkenstall, Esq., at the Bishop's Palace at Ely; but he was afterwards liberated thence on bail, and restricted to his house at Leyton in Essex, whence in August, 1591, he had licence to go to Firle (ibid., xviii. 415; xxi. 402; Cal. Cecil MSS.,' iv. 264). He was afterwards committed to the charge of Mr. Thomas Culpepper, whence, owing to illhealth, he was liberated on the 13th of May, 1593. Between Michaelmas in that year NOTES ON SOME and the following 10th of March he paid EARLY MEMBERS. (See 10 S. vi. 468; vii. 102.) I FIND that the opinion expressed at the first reference (viz., that the Margaret Copley whom John Gage of Firle married as his second wife was daughter of Sir Thomas Copley) is erroneous, and that she was undoubtedly daughter of Sir Roger (Cal. S.P. Dom., Add. 1566–79,' at pp. 446, 498, and 576). This being so, there is no difficulty about the wife of John Gage of Haling; and I suppose Thomas Shelley's wife was Mary Copley. The Concertatio Ecclesiæ mentions a John Gage as having died in exile before 1594. This is probably the John Gage of Wormley mentioned at the last reference. According to the inscription on the tomb of Sir Edward Gage, K.B,, he and his wife died in 1569. She, however, was a recusant in 1587, and still alive in August, 1591 (Strype, Ann.,' III. ii. 597; 'P.C.A.,' N.S., xxi. 402). He died on the 26th of 1407. in fines for recusancy. He was ordered to appear before the Council on the 8th of February, 1595, but was too ill to travel; and he died on the 10th of October, 1595, without issue ('P.C.A.,' N.S., xxiv. 229; xxv. 208, 234, 294; Strype, Ann.,' iv. 276; Gage's Hengrave '). Sir Edward's third son, Thomas, was born on the 27th of January, 1542, and entered Winchester College second on the roll for 1553, probably as founder's kin, for he was a_great-great-grandson of Bartholomew Bolney, scholar of 1415, who was probably great-great-grandson of Alice, the founder's aunt (cf. Kirby's Annals of Winchester College,' p. 96). By his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Guldeford, he had a son John, a recusant ( Cal. S.P. Dom., 1603-10,' pp. 389, 576), who succeeded to Firle on the death of his uncle John, and was created a baronet on the 26th of March, 1622. Thomas Gage seems to have died in the summer of 1591 (P.C.A.,' N.S., xxi. 402); but, if this is so, who was the "Thomas Gage of West Firles, gent.." who was a recusant in 1592 (see Cal. is a mistake for John, as it certainly is in Sir Edward's fourth son, George, may 1638. the Sussex Sir Edward's fifth son, Edward, to whom Sir Edward's sixth son, Richard, is probably the person of this name mentioned in the Concertatio Ecclesiæ' in 1594 as living in exile at that date. To pass to the Haling branch of the family, John Gage of Haling, though on the 11th * Robert Gage of Haling was M.P. for Lewes in 1553, not 1533. 1589, he was committed to the charge of The George Gage who on the 9th of June, 1649, was appointed Vicar-General to the Bishop of Chalcedon (Hist. MSS. Commission, Fifth Rep., p. 467) was probably the third son of John Gage of Haling. JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT. INSCRIPTIONS AT NAPLES. (See ante, pp. 62, 161.)
