{317} Charles, as Lumisden writes (December 3, 1760), 'positively insists on having the young filly returned to him.'
{321} The article on the Tales of the Century in the Quarterly Review (vol. lx.x.xi. p. 57) was not 'by Lockhart,' as Mr. Ewald says, and is not, in fact, accurate.
{323} Nothing in the Stuart Papers confirms the story that Charles was at the Coronation of George III., in 1761. In the present century Cardinal York told a member of the Stair family that the Prince visited England in 1763. It may have been then that he saw Murray of Broughton, and was seen by Murray's child, afterwards the actor known to Sir Walter Scott.
