NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd s. NO 52., Dec. 27. 'o6. 



1775, vol. i. p. 205.) may perhaps assist Mr. 

 CoRSER in his inquiry for information respecting 

 Lady Dacre of the South : — 



"John Wooton, of North Tudenham, was son of John 

 Wooton of Tudenham, and Elizabeth his wife, sister of 

 Sir Thomas, and daughter of Sir Robert L'Estrange. In 

 1536 his wife died ; after which he married a daughter of 

 Nevill, Lord Abergavenny, widow of Lord D'Acre." 



Should Mr. Corser obtain any further inform- 

 ation on this subject, or ascertain any particulars 

 respecting Henry Wotion, who, I presume, must 

 have been a brother of the above named John 

 Wooton, he will much oblige by communicating 

 it through your columns. W. (Bombay). 



Henry Justice (2"'^ S. ii. 413.) — From some 

 notes which I have taken from deeds, &c., I have 

 the pleasure to be able to inform Mr. Riley that 

 Henry Justice, about whom he inquires, was a 

 son of William Justice, of York, gent, who was 

 living in 1703. The wife of Henry was Elizabeth 



and she died March 15, 1752. She was 



the authoress of Amelia, or the Distressed Wife. 

 His sister Anne was wife of Jonas Thompson, of 

 York, who served the office of Lord Mayor of 

 that city. The eldest son of Henry Justice was 

 William Justice, of Wymondham, co. Norfolk, 

 Esq. ; and he dying unmarried, at Hingham, was 

 there buried, Oct. 15, 1779, He left a sister, the 

 wife of Dr. Hayes, of Ipswich, who died about 

 1799, and his widow then went to reside at Bath, 

 where she died about 1815. I have no notice of 

 the time and place of the death of Henry Justice. 

 The books of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the 

 Middle Temple, where his admissions would be 

 recorded, will probably, if necessary, confirm the 

 above statement as to his paternity. The family 

 at York furnished a Lord Mayor in the person of 

 Emmanuel Justice, wAo was buried Feb. 6, 1716. 

 The parish register at Doncaster contains numer- 

 rous entries of that name. C. J. 



The Cambridge Chronicle of Oct. 22, 1763, con- 

 tains the following paragraph : 



" Lately died at the Hague, one Mr. Justice, who was 

 some years ago transported for stealing of books belong- 

 ing to the Public Library of this University." 



My attention had not been directed to this pa- 

 ragraph when I published my account of Justice's 

 case in Annals of Cambridge, iv. 223.

Munich Tune (2"^ S. ii. 410.) — G. W. is in- 

 formed that Luther is the composer of this melody, 

 being the choral to his Christmas Hjmn " Vom 

 Himmel hoch da Komm ich her." It appeared 

 in 1535, and will be found in King's Gesangbuch, 

 1543, and in almost every Lutheran collection 

 after that period. Sebastian Bach selected the 



melody for a display of some extraordinary vari- 

 ations as an organ exercise. The choral used 

 by Meyerbeer in the Hugonots is also the com- 

 position of Luther, to his version of the forty- 

 sixth Psalm," Eine feste Burg ist unser Gott." The 

 two melodies are quite distinct, "with the exception 

 of the last line. H. J. Gauntlett.

Order of St. Michael (2"'^ S.'ii. 229.) —Among 

 the Additional MSS. in the British Museum, 

 No. 17,436, is a collection of arms of the knights 

 of this order, drawn by the late Rev. D. T. 

 Powell of Tottenham, and purchased at his sale in 

 1848, Lot 434. /*. 



Visiting Cards {V^ S. iv. 133.) — It may be con- 

 sidered very doubtful whether Sir Isaac Newton 

 used old playing cards, by writing his name on 

 the back of them, for the purpose of using them 

 as visiting cards. I have noticed in my Habits and 

 Men (p. 121. of the 3rd edit.), that — 



" It was in Paris, about the year 1770, that was intro- 

 duced the custom of visiting era Mane, a3 it was called, 

 that is, by leaving a card. The old ladies and gentle- 

 men, who loved to show their costume, called this fashion 

 fantastic," &c. 



I have an impression that Mercier, in his 

 Tableau de Paris, alludes to this custom ; but my 

 especial authority was the Baroness Oberkirch, 

 who treats of this subject in her Memoirs.

Scipios Shield (2°'^ S. ii. 352.) — The shield of 

 Scipio, alluded to by Mr. Rilet, appears to be 

 the circular silver plate, apparently of Cartha- 

 ginian work, with a lion and palm-tree in the 

 centre, which was found in 1714 in the village of 

 Passage, a little to the south of La Tour du Pin, 

 near the road from Lyons to Chambery. This spot 

 lies on the probable route by which Hannibal and 

 other Carthaginian generals crossed the Alps. The 

 plate is described in Wickham and Cramer's Dis- 

 sertation on the Passage of Hannibal over the Alps, 

 (p. 57., edit. 2nd) ; and an engraving of it is given 

 at p. 63. In 1819 it was seen by the authors of 

 this excellent treatise in the King's Library at 

 Paris, where it is probably now preserved. L. 



Derivation of ''Pamphlet" (2"^ S. ii. 460.) — 

 Your correspondent C. says, " If it (pamphlet) 

 were French, would not the French have more 

 probably retained it ? " and he proceeds to show 

 that the French have retained it, by quoting the 

 definition of it from the Diet, de VAcad. Fr. 



Will C. be so kind as to inform me why the 

 French have not retained these five words, kick- 

 shaws, lampoon, malapert, paramount, and para- 

 mour ? And why they have substituted for 

 them, ragouts, chanson satirique, impudent, souve- 

 roin, and mignon ?
