NOTES AND QUERIES. 



347 



attached are those of the MSS. papers in which 

 I met with the names : — 



" Lawrence Hewar Oxburgh, of Emneth, Cambridge- 

 shire, 1655. 



" Charles George Cock, Judge of the Admiralt}', 1655. 



" Thomas Roome Coyle, Captain of H. M. S. Phcenix, 

 1078. 



" Henn* Fredericic Tliynne, brother to Lord Wey- 

 mouth, 1682. 



" Ed^vard Horseley Widdington, Justice of Peace, 

 Nortliumberland, 1088." 



But a stiil eai'lier instance is furnished in an 

 entry in a recent Catalogue of Mr. Kerslake's, 

 where, in a description of a curious and interest- 

 ing collection of autograph letters from Cecil, 

 Earl of Salisbury, and his son, we read of one in 

 1601, which contains an account of "John Toraas 

 Jones," a runaway thief. W. D. Macray. 



Watling Street (2"'» S.iv. 58. 114.)— This name 

 is a compound of zraf^Ze=hurdle, and ing=a, com- 

 mon meadow. Carlyle detects in the etymology 

 of the German town of AVolfenbiittel, Welfs or 

 Guelphs, and wattles or hurdles, the latter as used 

 in encampment. According, however, to the au- 

 thorities penes me, battel does not mean wattles 

 or hurdles, but a beadle, jailor or jack-ketch, 

 as blUtelei means a jail. The word ing, as a 

 meadow, occurs in Uartfn^ton, Devonshire ; in 

 Deepzwg", Lincolnshire ; in Godalming-, Surrey ; in 

 Hitching, Herts ; in LeamiVf^ton, Warwickshire ; 

 in Ruddzw^'ton, Notts ; in /?zg-atestone, Essex, &c. 

 The last refers to the meadovj at the Roman mile- 

 s/one, T. J. BUCKTON. 

 Lichfield. 



Cockshut (2"'» S. vi..345. 400. 423. 512.) — 

 " This word is of frequent recurrence in many counties, 

 a clear indication that it is not used without having been 

 acquired from an early source. One would expect to find 

 it easy of explanation in consequence of its general ac- 

 ceptance. This, however, is not the case. The Celt. 

 Cok, elevatus, caput, is the nearest approach we can make 

 to the prefix: and in the same language, Sgod, Ysgod, 

 silva, is the last word which explains the termination. 

 In some cases this will correspond with the present ap- 

 pearance of the places where the word is applied, amongst 

 others the following, though it does not hold good in 

 every instance here adduced. Cockhank, near Adderley, 

 CO. Stafford. Cockshut, a bank near Bitterley. Cockshut, 

 between Ellesmere and Middle. Cockshut Bank, near 

 Downton. Cockshut Lane, Broseley, co. Salop. Cockshoots, 

 near Middleton Scriven. Cocksall, near Aston Botterell. 

 Codsal, CO. Stafford. Cockslade Rough. Cockbury Farm, 

 north of Cheltenham, on Nottingham Hill. Cockshut, 

 south of Montgomery. Cockshute Wood, one mile north 



of Usk. Id., one mile north of Chepstow. Id., one mile 

 west of West Wj'combe. Cockshute Fair Firs, north of 

 Wootton Underedge, co. Gloucester. Cockshut Hill Farm. 

 south of Droitwich. Cockshoot Hill, near Shefford, co. 

 Bedford. Cockley Hill, near Thenford, co. Northampton. 

 Cocksheath, east of Skenfrith, co. Monmouth. Cockshed 

 and Cocksbrook Wood, north-east of Kentchurch, co. 

 Hereford. Coxwall Knoll, near Brampton Brian, co. Rad- 

 nor." — Hartshorne's Salopia Antiqua, 4to., Lond. 1841, 

 pp. 251, 252.
