^{page 146 note b} Mr. R Kelsey, of the Sewers' Office, informs me, that a few years since some Roman remains were met with at Holborn Hill, at the depth of eighteen feet. They consisted of an earthen urn, filled with burnt bones, and a large quantity of broken pottery, of a pale red kind, inclosed in an oaken case, measuring two feet nine inches square. A most extensive excavation has been lately made in this district, in the line of the Fleet Ditch, which might have been turned to advantage for further evidence with regard to the disputed antiquity of the entrance to London by the present line of road from Holborn to Newgate Street, but I failed in gaining from the Court of Common Council, access to the works.

^{page 156 note l} It is so seldom that I have witnessed, during my researches in London, either in public bodies or in private individuals, any disposition to encourage or tolerate antiquarian investigation, that an instance of an intelligent and conservative spirit deserves especial notice. I therefore make honourable mention of Mr. John Shelton, who very promptly gave notice of the discovery of this pavement, and was thus instrumental in saving it.

^{page 157 note l} Gale, Com. Ant. Iter. p. 89, and Maitland, Hist. Lond. p. 12. It is probable that both the wall in Bush Lane, and the remains adjoining in Scot's Yard, were noticed on this occasion. The wall mentioned by Gale, “miræ crassitudinis et firmitatis,” seems identical with the former; the tessellated pavements, and other vestigia of houses, are evidently connected with the latter.

^{page 158 note m} Other readings will doubtless suggest themselves; the PR may perhaps with equal propriety stand for Præes or Procurator.
