DOUBTFUL POINTS IN HERALDRY.

AN erudite writer in the Times, on Saturday was a week, main- tained that "the Prince of Wales may be born Knight." It is not asserted that the Prince of Wales is born a Knight ; and it were pity to have such an important question unsettled. If the House of Commons, on meeting, find itself at a loss for business, a Com- mittee may be appointed to inquire. The spur is the badge of Knighthood; and probably, if the Prince is born a Knight, he is born, like a Bantam cock, with one on each heel.
