    clate of Sept. 17, 1560, nine days only after the occurrence, in which he says,—“ here in these partes seemeth unto me to he a grevous and dangerous suspition and muttering of the death of her that was the wife of my lord Kobert Dudlie. My desire and trust is, that by your discreet device and diligence, through the queen’s authority, earnest searching and trying out of the truth, with due punishment, if any be found guilty in this matter may be openiy knowne.”1 And in tlie Hardwicke State Papers :2—on 28th Oct., 1560, sir Nicholas Throckmorton, her majesty’s ambassador to the queen of Scots, to dissuade her from a inarriage with lord Darnley, wrote from Paris,—“ The bruits be so brim and so maliciously reported here touching the marriage of the lord Robert and the death qf his wife, as I know not where to turn me, nor what countenance to bear. Sir ! I thank God, I had rather perish and quail with honesty, than live anci beguile a little time with shameT The reports prejudicial to the character of Duclley in connexion with the clecease of his wife must have been very generally inculeatecl, ancl as generally believed. A reference to it was made in a dramatic publication of spurious author- ship, which at one time excited much curiosity, being put forth as “The Yorkshire Tragedy. Not so new as lament- able and true. Written by W. Shakspeare. Printed for T. P., 1619T The subject of this melancholy tale was a Yorkshire gentleman namecl Calverley, who, in a paroxysm of passion, apparently excitecl by jealousy, murdered two of his chilclren, attempted the life of a third, and also that of the motlier ancl nurse. The passage having reference to the cleath of laciy Ducliey runs thus “ Down stairs, Tumble, tumble, headlong. So— The surest way to charm a woman’s tongue Is, break her neck. A politician did it.” In the absence of precise ancl positive information, ancl the knowledge of essentiai partieulars, which it is now im- possible to obtain, I am aware that it will be a matter of no inconsiderable clifficulty to disabuse the public mind of a sense of Dudiey’s iiability to be implicated in this event; 1 Ilaynes, in Burleigh State Papers at Hatfield, p. 362, edited by Murdin. 2 Vol. i, p. 122.
