[ROOT] Changing placement of histogram title

Hi Rooters,

I am making a Canvas with two Pads - the one is an inset:
TCanvas c1;
c1->Range(0,0,1,1);
c1->SetLogy();
c1->cd();
TPad *c1_1 = new TPad("c1_1", "c1_1",0.00851789,0.0126904,0.996593,0.992386);
c1_1->Draw();
c1_1->cd();
c1_1->Range(-1.25,-4.28931,11.25,0.508575);
c1_1->SetLogy();
TPad *c1_2 = new TPad("c1_2", "c1_2",0.627586,0.483204,0.960345,0.813953);
c1_2->Draw();
c1_2->cd();
c1_2->Range(-1.25,-0.7875,11.25,7.0875);

c1_1->cd();
pfq->DrawCopy("hist");
c1_2->cd();
fq.DrawCopy("hist");

I draw a different histogram in each pad. This works perfectly. But the
inset title is too small to read. I want to make it bigger but I cannot
retrieve a pointer to the "title" for it. I try to get it with

TPaveText *ttt = (TPaveText*)c1_2->FindObject("title");

but this returns 0. I have tried using gPad but this doesn't work either.
The SetTitleSize methods only affect the axis titles so how can I change
the size of the histogram title in the smaller pad only?

Thanks,
