NOTES AND QUEKIES.

was almost lost." I would wish to know whether 

 there is extant any account of this trial ; I do not 

 mean of the result, but whether I can anywhere 

 meet with any account of the trial itself; of the 

 judge before whom it was tried ; the evidence, 

 especially as to the ship which was almost lost ; 

 and whether (what was observed upon in the 

 answer of your correspondent H. B. C. to some 

 Queries about " Old Booty's Ghost") the time of 

 the crime being committed in Huntingdonshire, 

 agrees with the position of the ship at the moment.

Antony Hungerford. — In 4 Henry V. (1417) 

 Sir Hugh Burnell, a descendant of Robert Burnell, 

 Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Lord Chancellor in 

 the reign of Edvv-ard L, entered into articles of 

 agreement with Sir Walter Hungerford (through 

 the King's mediation . by letters) for the marriage 

 of Margery, one of Sir Hugh's grandchildren, to 

 Edmund Hungerford, son of Sir Walter. There 

 was issue of this marriage, as I find by a fine levied 

 by Antony Hungerford in the 32nd of Henry VIII. ; 

 but &ny further information respecting this family 

 I am not able to meet with. If any of your cor- 

 respondents can assist me in my inquiries I shall 

 feel much obliged. W. H. Hart.

Rev. William Dawson. — Can any of the readers 

 of " N. & Q." favour me with some particulars re- 

 garding the ancestry of the Rev. William Dawson, 

 minister of the Gospel at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 

 who was appointed Professor of Hebrew and other 

 Oriental languages in the University of Edinburgh 

 in 1732 ? He is supposed to have been descended 

 from the Irish family of Cremorue. E. N. 



" Up, Guards, and at them /" — Is there authority 

 for the " Up, Guards, and at them ! " traditionally 

 put in the mouth of " the Duke" at Waterloo ? I 

 have heard not. A. A. D. 



P. S. Is not the battle itself a myth ? 



^S"^. Botolph. — I much wish some of the readers 

 of " N. & Q." would refer me to any authorities 

 they may know of respecting St. Botolph ? 



Private hints directed " A. B., Mr. Morton's, 

 Publisher, Boston," will be most thankfully re- 

 ceived. A. B. 



Rental of Arable Land in 1333. — In the year 

 1333, it appears from The Custom Booh, fol. 60., 

 that the then Sheriff of Norfolk sent a copy of the 

 king's proclamation to the Bailiffs of Norwich, 

 commanding them to cause proclamation to be 

 made in the city that " no man presume to take 

 more than 24*. for the best living ox fatted with 

 grain, and if not fatted with grain only 16s.; the 

 best fat cow 12s. ; the best fat swine of two years 

 old, only 4s. ; the best fat mutton undipped, 206?. ; 

 and if clipped, then 14c^. ; a fat goose, 2d, ; two j 



pullets, Irf. ; four pigeons, \d.; a good fat capon, 

 2d. ; a fat hen, \d. ; and twenty-four eggs, \d." 

 Can any of the readers of " N. & Q." inform me 

 what was the then yearly (average) rental of an 

 acre of arable land, and the value per annum of an 

 acre (average) of pasture ? Also the relative value 

 of one shilling sterling, as compared with one 

 shilling at the present time ?

Dress shows the Man. — Can any of your cor- 

 respondents inform me in what Greek author 

 i/xdriov av^p, " the dress shows the man," is to be 

 found ? W. S. 



Richmond, Surrey. 



Burnet {Gilbert). — Can any of your readers 

 help me to identify the Gilbert Burnet, whose cor- 

 respondence with Professor Francis Hutcheson on 

 the Foundation of Virtue was published, first in 

 The London Journal, and afterwards in a separate 

 pamphlet, in 1735 ? Was he Gilbert son of 

 Bishop Burnet, or was he the vicar of Coggeshall, 

 who abridged the Boyle Lectures ; or was he a 

 third Gilbert Burnet, in addition to the other 

 two ? Tteo.

Where was Cromwell buried? — It has been the 

 belief of many that the burial at Westminster 

 Abbey was a mock ceremony, that in case a 

 change in the ruling powers should take place, 

 his remains were deposited in a place of greater 

 security, and that the spot selected for his grave 

 was the field of Naseby. The author of The 

 Compleat History of England speaks of a " Mr. 

 Barkstead, the regicide's son," as being ready to 

 depose — 



" That the said Barkstead his father, being Lieu- 

 tenant of the Tower, and a great confident of Crom- 

 well's, did, among other such confidents, in the time of 

 his illness, desire to know where he would be buried ; 

 to which the Protector answered, ' where he had ob- 

 tained the greatest victory and glory, and as nigh the 

 spot as could be guessed where the heat of the action 

 was, viz, in the field at Naseby in com. Northampton.' 

 That at midnight, soon after his death, the body (being 

 first embalmed and wrapt in a leaden coffin) was in a 

 hearse conveyed to the said field, Mr. Barkstead him- 

 self attending, by order of his father, close to the hearse. 

 That being come to the field, they found about the 

 midst of it a grave dug about nine feet deep, with the 

 green-sod carefully laid on one side and the mould on 

 the other, in which the coffin being put, the grave was 

 instantly filled up, and the green-sod laid exactly flat 

 upon it, care being taken that the surplus mould should 

 be clean removed. That soon after the like care was 

 taken that the ground should be ploughed up, and that 

 it was sowed successively with corn." 



The author further states that the deponent was 

 about fifteen years old at the time of Cromwell's 

 death.
