NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd s. No 43., Oct. 25. '56. 



H. Moody, on Sir 0. Mosley's authority, appears 

 to have been true of Mary Queen of Scots. Speak- 

 ing of the Earl of Shewsbury's expenses at Tut- 

 bury, ann. 1569, Strype says : 



"In this castle this noble Earl had Mary Queen of 

 Scots in custody ; which, whatsoever public allowance he 

 had, was extraordinary expensive to him. And, among 

 other things provided, the wine only amounted to a con- 

 siderable charge ; for, when she bathed, she bathed in 

 wiyie,'' &c. — Annals of Reform., temp. Eliz. ch. 53. 



Probably Mr. Moody wrote " Lady Jane Grey " 

 by mistake. J. Sansom. 



"Par terms suppar" (2"'^ S. ii. 189.)— The 

 title of Lord Northwick was first conferred in 

 1797, when the union of Great Britain and Ire- 

 land was in contemplation. Hence a motto which 

 should imply, " Two are good, but three are 

 better," would be well-timed. There may be an 

 allusion to Eccles. iv. 12. : 



" If one prevail against him, two shall withstand him ; 

 and a threefold cord is not soon broken." 



The device adopted by Louis XIV, a sun, with 

 the motto " Hec pluribus impar," alone a match 

 for all the world in arms, will occur as analogous.

Derweniwater Family (2""* S. i. 153.) — As to 

 the heir of this family, I can say nothing ; but I 

 remember being pointed out in the North of 

 England, a short time since, a person who bears 

 the family name, and is generally reputed to be a 

 descendant, through an illegitimate son, of the un- 

 fortunate Earl of Derwentwater. I have little 

 doubt, that there are several other persons, simi- 

 larly connected with him, to be found in the 

 neighbpurhood of North or South Shields.

Illustrations of the Simplon (2°"^ S. ii. 211.) — 

 The work inquired for by H. J. is probably the 

 very beautiful series of coloured engravings illus- 

 trating the passage of Mount Simplon, published, 

 I think at Geneva, about the year 1815, for I 

 purchased it there in 1816. The author's name, 

 if I remember rightly, was Lory. The work I 

 am well acquainted with. It begins with the 

 Borromean Islands in the Lake Major, and gives 

 a series of views accurately drawn, and exquisitely 

 coloured, of the great road over the Simplon, 

 ending with the approach to Domo D'Ossola. It 

 is a large folio volume. F. C. H. 



" Great events from little causes spring" (2"^ S. 



ii. 43.) — The act to recharter thS first bank of 



the United States was defeated by the casting 



\ vote of Vice-president Clinton (ex-officio Presi- 



\ dent of the Senate), and the TariflT Act of 1846 



was ordered to be engrossed by the casting vote 



t-f Vice-president Dallas. Bar-Point. 



Philadelphia. 



English Pronunciation of Latin (2"'* S. i. 151.) — 

 Dr. Russell, of the Charterhouse, lised to have the 

 credit of introducing the new system of pronun- 

 ciation here spoken. I certainly think that the 

 eg-o, of this system, is greatly to be preferred to 

 the ee-go of former times. A scholar who accus- 

 toms himself to it will be less likely to forget his 

 quantities. Henry T. Riley. 



Gamage Family (2"'^ S. ii. 48.) — After the con- 

 quest of Glamorganshire by Fitzhamon and his 

 twelve knights, the lordship of Coity fell to the 

 share of Sir Paine Turbeville, and in process of 

 time it was inherited, in default of male heirs, by 

 Sir William Gamage, whose mother was fourth 

 daughter of Sir Richard Turbeville. Sir W. 

 Gamage's grandfather was Sir Robert Gamage, 

 son of Paine Gamage, lord of the manor of Ro- 

 giade, in the co. of Monmouth. 



In a note by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick to his 

 Heraldic Visitations of Lewis Dwnn, vol. i. p. 219., 

 he says : 



" Coity is a parish in Glamorganshire, near the town of 

 Bridgend. There still exist con.siderable remains of the 

 castle which belonged to Sir Thos. Gamage. His daughter 

 Catherine, by Margaret St. John, married Sir Thos. 

 Stradling of St. Donat's, high sheriff for Glamorganshire 

 in 1548, and his daughter Margaret became the second 

 wife of William, first Lord Howard of Effingham, who 

 died 1624." 



Probably in The Stradling Correspondence, pub- 

 lished by Rev. John M. Traherne, further par- 

 ticulars may be found. The name of Gamage is 

 still common in Glamorganshire, especially in the 

 neighbourhood of Coity. C. C. 



Custom at Dunchurch Church (2"'* S. ii. 266.) — 

 R. W. B. asks whether the custom he witnessed 

 at Dunchurch was practised elsewhere. I dis- 

 tinctly recollect being at Acton church, in Che- 

 shire, nearly twenty years ago, and seeing the 

 same practised there. One of the churchwardens, 

 or the apparitor, I forget which, went round the 

 church during service, with a long wand in his 

 hand, and if any of' the congregation were asleep, 

 they were instantly awoke by a tap on the head* 

 On mentioning it to a friend at the time, I was 

 told it was the usual custom. I cannot, however, 

 say whether it is still practised. G. W. N.

Enlightenment (2"'* S. ii. 211.) — A. C. M. asks, 

 " What objection can lexicographers have to this 

 word ? " I cannot conceive any. Formations in 

 -ment, -hood, -ness, Sj-c, are discretionary, and do 

 not require the authority of a dictionary. The 

 word enlightenment is new : one for which the dic- 

 tionaries referred to found no authority. It is 

 now in common use : sanctioned by writers well 

 acquainted with the mechanism of their own lan- 

 guage. I have two examples before me : one in
