NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd g. YIII. Sept. 10. '50. 



tell us the composition of their famous "punch" — 

 as much celebrated for giving headaches, when 

 taken in excess, as "the Vauxhall sandwich" was 

 remarkable for its nothingness. Perhaps (as it is 

 no longer a secret) they could inform us how 

 many of these " stop-gaps" were made out of one 

 ham ? Any other particulars as to the sale would, 

 I should imagine, be acceptable. Centurion. 



Translators' Interpolations, — 



" The critics who take offence at Achilles because he 

 does not resemble King Arthur or Louis XIV. may be 

 excused on the ground of incapacity so long as they con- 

 fine their impertinence to the notes; not so with the 

 translators, who, both English and French, have inserted 

 their moral babblings in the text." — P. 23. (^On the 

 Study of the Greek CZassjcs, London, 1756, 12mo., pp. 164.) 



Examples of such "babblings" are not given. 

 Are they known to any reader of " N. & Q." ? 



S. H. J. 

 Counsellor Tilly. — 



" 1734. IMr. Tilb', son of Counsellor Tilly, to Mr. Best- 

 man's daughter, of liridewell, with a fortune of 5000/." — 

 Historical Register. 



I shall be much obliged to any reader of " N. 

 & Q." who will favour me with any information 

 respecting " Counsellor Tilly" — particularly as to 

 his marriage. James Knowi-es. 



Sir Henry Killigrew. — We shall be glad of any 

 information respecting this eminent diplomatist, 

 Avho was a man of great accomplishments, and one 

 of the early benefactors of Emmanuel College. 

 We particularly desire to be informed on the fol- 

 lowing points : — 



1. Who were his parents ? 



2. When was he born ? 



3. When was he knighted ? 



4. What were the christian names of his daugh- 

 ters ? Elizabeth is said to have been the wife of 

 Sir Nicholas Lower. Another (who is also called 

 Elizabeth) was wife successively of Sir Jonathan 

 Trelawney and Sir Thomas Reynell. Ann was 

 wife successively of Sir Henry Neville and George 

 Carleton, Bishop of Chichester, and Dorothy was 

 wife of Sir Edward Seymour. 



5. When did he die? He appears to have been 

 living in 1602, when Carew published his Survey 

 of Cornwall. 



6. Where was he buried ? 



7. Is there any monument to his memory ? 



8. Is any portrait of him known to exist ? 



9. Is anything known respecting his paintings ? 

 Lloyd refers to him as a good artist, but we have 

 not found any mention of him in Walpole's work. 



Some curious particulars respecting him appear 

 in " A Remembrance of Henry Kylligrew's Jour- 

 nyes in her Majesty's Service, and by Commande- 

 ment from my Lorde Treasorer, from the last 

 Yeare of Queene Marye" (Leonard Howard's 

 Letters, 184.). We know not whether this is iden- 



tical with " A Note of such Voyages as Mr. Henry 

 Killegrew made for the Service of the Queen and 

 her Highness's Realm" (MS. Lansd., 106., art. 

 31.). C. H. & Thompson Cooper. 



Cambridge. 



Sir Richard Steele's former Wife. — Can any 

 one tell me (what neither Nichols nor any of 

 Steele's biographers could find out) who the lady 

 was at whose funeral Steele met Miss Scurlock, 

 afterwards Lady Steele? Sir Richard's former 

 wife (I do not say " first wife," for he may have 

 had more than two wives) possessed an estate in 

 Barbadoes ; and, as " N. & Q." is read all over 

 the world, perhaps some of your readers in that 

 island can enlighten me ? W. H. W. 



Planet Showers. — This is a term in constant 

 use by the vulgar. What does it mean ? Has it 

 reference to the wandering character of the rain- 

 bursts, or is it supposed that the precipitation is 

 caused by any peculiar configuration of the pla- 

 nets ? John Pavin Phillips. 



Haverfordwest. 



Beaumont's "Life of Dean Granville" or Gren- 

 ville. — 



" Mr. Beaumont, a clergyman resident in the count}' of 

 Durham, seems to have composed a narrative of the Life 

 of Dean Granville. Of this he had read sundry portions 

 to Sir George Wheler, and received from him the follow- 

 ing letter upon the subject." — Zouch's Worhs, vol. ii. 167. 



Was this work ever printed, or does it exist in 

 MS.? E. H. A. 



Sir John Jacoh, Bart. — I should feel obliged for 

 particulars (beyond those given in Burke's Baro- 

 netage) with reference to the life of the first baro- 

 net of this name. He died in 1666, but I wish to 

 know at what age and place ? C. J. Robinson. 



John Roive, M.P. — Who was John Rowe, Mem- 

 ber for Canterbury 39 Eliz. ? C. J. Robinson. 



Crossley of S. Leonard's, 5AorerfiYc/%.— Informa- 

 tion is requested respecting this family, which 

 bore for arms, gules, a fess, or, between 3 cross 

 molines, or ; crest, a tiger's head. Samuel Cross- 

 ley married Elizabeth, sister of Sir Matthew 

 Blakiston, Bart., and died in 1784, aged forty- 

 sevenr* C. J. Robinson. 



Mrs. Glasse's Cookery. — On dipping into a 

 Biographical Dictionary the other day, I stumbled 

 on the following paragraph : — 



"On his outset in London, he [Astley, the paiuter] 

 lived in St. James's Street, where Dr. Hill followed him, 

 and wrote that book which, except the Bible, has had 

 the greatest sale in the language, the Cookery of Mrs. 

 Glasse." 



I would inquire whether there is any farther

 the family vault. — Ed.]
