Pimlico

I see, by a passage in Lord Orrery's Letters, that there was a place called Pemlicoe in Dublin:— "Brown is fluctuant; he once lay at a woman's house in Pemlicoe, Dublin." (*Earl of Orrery to Duke of Ormond*, Feb. 5. 1663, in *Orrery's State Letters*.) This may be of use to "R.H.," who inquires about the origin of *Pimlico*. *Ranelaugh*, in the same parts, is doubtless also of Irish origin. [Pimlico in Dublin still exists, as will be seen by reference to Thom's *Irish Almanac*, where we find "Pimlico, from Coombe to Tripoli."]
