Several Vessels, as Salt-sellars and Ink-horns of different Forms and Sizes; one supported with four Plaisters, that seem to be black Marble polished, but are indeed only the Lancashire Canal-Coal. Don. Tho. Johnson. A Cohawn, on which is rudely represented a Man on Horse-back, with Dogs Hunting; it is a Piece of pure Irish Houshold-Stuff (for Bonny-Clabor or Balcan) not used by the English there; as neither is the Mader: This runs upon Wheels, but has no need of Girths as the former, all the four Sides being one entire Piece of hollowed Wood; 'tis painted with red and black. A wooden Dram-cup from Ireland, all three sent me by Mrs. Mary Marshall of Dublin. A Pewter Chalice of antique Work; tis gilt, and was probably used for the Eucharist before Silver generally obtained. The Mouth of a very ancient Eure digged up at Berwick and sent me by the Rev. Mr. Plaxton. A Bason and Eure that were used since the Union of the Two Kingdoms by K. James I. as appears by the Royal Arms enamel'd. A Copper Candle- stick of an antique Form, which probably belonged to an Abbey, there being a Spire for the Wax Taper, and three Saints inlaid; the whole gilt and enamel'd.
