ANN BORROW.
[Illustration: THE BORROW HOUSE, NORWICH The house is situated in Borrow's Court, formerly King's Court, Willow Lane, St.Giles's, Norwich, and here Borrow lived at intervals from 1816 to his marriage in 1839.

His mother lived here for thirty-three years until 1849; his father died here, and is buried in the neighbouring churchyard of St.Giles's.] FOOTNOTES: [9] 24th May 1856.

Dining at Mr.Rathbone's one evening last week (21st May), it was mentioned that Borrow, author of _The Bible in Spain_, is supposed to be of gypsy descent by the mother's side.

Hereupon Mr.
Martineau mentioned that he had been a schoolfellow of Borrow, and though he had never heard of his gypsy blood, he thought it probable, from Borrow's traits of character.

He said that Borrow had once run away from school, and carried with him a party of other boys, meaning to lead a wandering life (_The English Notebooks of Nathaniel Hawthorne_, vol.
