NOTES AND QUERIES. 



487.

 not ; I, Thou, He, durst not. Anon. 



Hugh of Lincoln. — The date of the tragedy of 

 which this boy Tvas the hero, is given by Matthew 

 Paris as 1255, "about the time of the festival of 

 the Apostles Peter and Paul " (translated by Dr. 

 Giles in Bohn's Antiq. Lib., iii. p. 138.). In the 

 following extract from the Hundred Rolls, the 

 date of the occurrence is thrown back one year at 

 least : — 



" Com' Line'. 



« Villata Lincolnie de Minorib; hominib; anno Dni' E. 

 Reg' tercio. . 



" It' dut q'd q'da tera q' fuit Walt'i de Killi'gholme 

 Militia in Brancegate e escaet' R' p morte Vives Te Gros 

 de Norwyco q'am Abraha de Lond' tenet a tr'p Hugon' 

 prdi crucifixi ab anno r' R. H. xxx» viij" et valet xx sol' 

 p ann'." — Rot. Hund., vol. i. p. 322. 



Possibly, however, the a which I have Italicised 

 is redundant, and then the passage may read : 

 "which Abraham of London (during the time 

 when the boy Hugh was crucified) held since the 

 38th year of the reign of King Henry," &c. 

 [1253-4]. But this rendering seems inconsistent 

 with the specific mention of Hugh's murder, which 

 can hardly have been deemed worth notice in this 

 connexion otherwise than as an epoch in local 

 chronology. As such the Lincoln jurors would 

 surely be more exact in preserving the precise 

 date than Matthew Paris ; to whose authority, 

 therefore, theirs must be preferred. H. G. H. 



Gray's Inn. 



" Cock my fudr — What is the true meaning of 

 the phrases "Cock my fud" and "A gone Corby?"

Beckford : Letters from Spain. — Mr. Beck- 

 ford, in the advertisements to his Letters from 

 Spain and Portugal, states that several eminent 

 writers having condescended to glean a few stray 

 thoughts from these letters, he has at length been 

 induced to lay them before the public. Will any 

 of your readers kindly specify a few of the " stray 

 thoughts," with the names of the writers who have 

 appropriated them ? C. S. 



Old Painting. — I shall feel obliged by any ex- 

 planation of the subject of an ancient painting, 

 apparently by a Spanish master, which I have re- 

 cently become possessed of. At the top the 

 Blessed Virgin is represented seated on a cloud, 

 with the child Jesus standing before her, his arms 

 extended almost at right angles, whilst from each 

 hand he drops a rosary of gold beads, the crosses 

 depending from which are reverentially received 

 by two kneeling figures ; one on the right, in a 

 monastic habit, kissing the cross, and the other on 

 the left, a female figure in the habit of a lady 

 abbess, regarding it with admiration. Cherubims 

 are represented round the head of the Virgin, and 



a few lilies are thrown in on the foreground. 

 Any account of the legend thus depicted would 

 oblige Y. B. N. J. 



Passage in Hegel. — I have heard that Dr. 

 Whewell's celebrated conjecture that the other 

 planets and the stars might be " sparks struck off 

 from the great anvils of the creation," is borrowed 

 from Hegel. Can any of your correspondents 

 refer me to the passages ? J. 



" Christian Magazine." — Can any correspon- 

 dent point out the author of a small 12mo. volume 

 of Divine Poems, the title as following : " The 

 Christian Magazine, being a Collection of Divine 

 Poems. Partly done from Original Manuscripts?" 

 pp. 292., London, printed by T. Dormer, 1739. 

 The preface is signed "J. A." D. S. 



Killingworth and Chamherlayne Families. — In 

 A.D. 1635 the Rev. John Killingworth and Mary 

 his wife, daughter of William Newton, Esq., of 

 Lindfield, co. Sussex, sold the manor and estate 

 of Gravetye, in the neighbouring parish of West 

 Hothlye, to Henry Faulconer, Esq., in whose 

 family that property till very recently remained. 

 In 1665 the Rev. John and Mary Killingworth, 

 with William Killingworth (probably their son) 

 and Elizabeth his wife, and their cousins Thomas 

 Newton, Esq., and Elizabeth his wife, and Thomas 

 Chamberlayne, Esq., and Mary his wife, were 

 parties to a fine passed on a portion of the lay 

 rectory of Lindfield. Any further information 

 concerning the pedigree and descendants of these 

 Killingworths will be very acceptable ; as would 

 also any such information with reference to the 

 above-named Thomas Chamberlayne. Memor. 



Temple Family. — Wanted, any information re- 

 specting an old and respectable family of the name 

 of Temple, located for several generations at 

 Haukeswell and Barden, near Richmond, York- 

 shire? A. S. S. 



Canne's Bible. — I have seen it stated, that in 

 one of Canne's editions of the Bible, the word not 

 is omitted in the following verse : — 



" At that day ye shall ask in my name, and I say [wof] 

 unto yoxi," &c. — John xvi. 26. 



Will any of your correspondents say in which 

 edition this omission is to be found ? 



I take this opportunity of saying, I am greatly 

 obliged by the kind reply (in the number for 

 April 18) of your able correspondent Mr. George 

 OrroR to my Query respecting my copy of Tyn- 

 daWs New Testament. My reason for thinking it 

 Joye's edition, is, it corresponds with the colla- 

 tion of Lowndes, i.e. Mark begins on G iiii. (not 

 G iv.) ; Romans on C iiii. A full page contains 

 35 lines, &c. I regret to see, from Mr. Offor's 

 Note, we are not to have a work he contemplated
