lings due to him for sea-coal supplied at the king's 

 coronation. {Rot. Pari., 15 and 16 Edw. II., vol. i. 

 p. 405.) Many facts might be given to show that 

 coal was frequently used in London during the 

 reign of Edward II. ; and unless we are to infer 

 that the king used without hesitation that which 

 was denied to the citizens on pain of death, we 

 cannot suppose that any such stringent measure 

 was in force as to render the use of coal a capital 

 offence. The period, therefore, in which the case 

 referred to by Dr. Bachhoffner occurred, was most 

 probably during the last few months of the reign 

 of Edw. I. But I am not acquainted with any 

 record of the case, and, with Mb. Wilson, should 

 feel obliged if any of your correspondents can 

 refer me to it. But perhaps the Doctor himself 

 will kindly answer tlie Query.

(Vol. v., pp. 346. 419.) 



You mention that a Latin distich by Winterton 

 ma^ be found among the Additional MSS. in the 

 British Museum. And at p. 420. his publication 

 of Hypocrates is referred to, with a Query as to 

 the Latin verse translation. As this book (not I 

 believe very common) is now before me, I tran- 

 scribe the title : 



" 'IiTTro/cpoTOiis Tov lUiyoKov ol a^opicrfj.oi ' Vf^iKol re Koi

The volume is 12mo., and dedicated to William 

 [Laud ?], Bishop of London. Then follow " Re- 

 verendorum S. Theol. Professorum Censurje," in- 

 cluding those of Thomas Comber, Dean of Carlisle, 

 and Master of Trinity College, Cambridge ; Mat- 

 thew Wren, Dean of Windsor, and Master of Pe- 

 terhouse, &c. The aphorisms are given each in 

 the original Greek, with a metrical version in the 

 same language, followed by prose and metrical 

 versions in Latin. 



At the end of my copy is bound up, as probably 

 it was printed to accompany iha preceding, 



" Epigrammata Regiorum Medicinte Professorum 

 Cantabrigiensis atque Oxoniensis, &c. In Rad. Win- 

 tertoni Metaphrasin nuper editam, &c., quibus acce- 

 ■dunt Epigrammata Therapeutica ejusdem, ad raalevo- 

 lorum lectorum aegritudines." 



Cantabrigia;, same date and printers. One of the 

 Epigrammata throws some light on the Query in 



Vol. v., p. 420., as to the authorship of the Latm 

 version : Edward Hanburie, of Sidney College, 

 says, addressing Winterton, — 



" Gratum opus hoc Medicis. Tu primus carmine 

 Grcsco 

 Metiris." 



The volume closes with some Latin elegiac 

 verses by Winterton on the death of his brother 

 Francis, who, leaving the office of Gentleman of 

 the Privy Chamber to the Queen, 



" In Castra transiit. Is pro patria mortuus, Cus- 

 trinae, in finibus Silesiae, honorifice, et sicut militcm de- 

 cult, sepultus est." 



This supplementary volume is partly occupied 

 with complimentary verses by the fellows of King's, 

 who address Winterton as 



" Medicum a suis juxta statuta designatum." 

 Among these is one copy by Gulielmus Sclaier, 

 C. R. C, " Socius Inceptor in Artibus ;" and an- 

 other by Johannes Sclater, C. R. C, quondam So- 

 cius, S. T. B. 1613. I indicate these as having 

 lately called the attention of your readers to this 

 family. BAixioiiENSis. 



Family of Bullen (Vol. v., p. 127.). — There is 

 a physician of that name, who is, I believe, one of 

 the professors in the Queen's College, Cork, and 

 who may probably be able to afford your corre- 

 spondent E. A. G. the information he wishes for. 

 I have been informed that Dr. BuUen's father 

 asserted that his family was descended from the 

 Boleyn family. J. E. 



Wallington's Journal (Vol. v., p. 489.). — This 

 volume is in my possession. It contains much 

 curious and interesting matter. J. Godwin. 



28. Upper Gower Street. 



The Amber Witch (Vol. v., p. 510.). — In an- 

 swer to a Query of A. N., this book is a pure 

 fiction Some German biblical critics pretending 

 to decide that whole chapters, or whole books, of 

 the Bible are spurious, from internal evidence, 

 Meinhold wi-ote the Amber Witch to show how 

 little able they were to judge of internal evidence 

 in a much simpler case. Several of them fell into 

 his trap, and then the author avowed the work to 

 be his own. T. 



Twyford (Vol. v., p. 467.). — There is yet, I am 

 informed, a double ford at Alnmouth, a little 

 above the town. The ancient church, called 

 Woden's Church, stood at the mouth of the 

 Alne. Here was found the cross with the imper- 

 fect inscription in Anglo-Saxon runes, now pre- 

 served at Alnwick Castle. I am not aware that 

 any local tradition now connects the name of 

 Twyford with Alnmouth. Edwabd CnABiiTON.
