Memor. 



Sir John Hayward. — Information is required 

 respecting Sir John HaywarJ, historian about the 

 reign of Elizabeth. I wish to obtain, if possible, 

 particulars of his birth and parentage. Sydney. 



Hospital of St. Cross. — I send you the follow- 

 ing Note (accompanied with a Query) transcribed 

 from a paragraph in a scrap book belonging to a 

 friend : 



■ " The Hospital of S. Cross. — The following memoran- 

 dum was taken from a book in the possession of Mr. Ban- 

 dall, Steward of the Hospital in the year 1789, entitled 

 Memorandums of curious things concerning St. Cross 

 Hospital: ' Ecclesia S. Fides et S. Crux juncta Maius 

 decimus 1507. Fox ep"» et custos S. Crucis. Joannes 

 Claymond Antistes. Ista ccetus confirmabat pro mea 

 auctoritate qui adjungere pot [the latter part of this word 

 is worm-eaten] Joannes Poynet, primus Episcopus Re- 

 ligionis reformata; et Patronus, 1552, Joannes Tncentius, 

 magister.' The above was copied by me from a manu- 

 script signed John Young, Dean of Winton Cathedral, 

 who was son to Sir Peter Young, the Master of the Hos- 

 pital in 1618, and who managed its concerns for his 

 father, and who made one Mr. Wright both chaplain and 

 steward, and from whose documents in the chest of the 

 hospital he copied them. From a document dated 

 March 17, 1655, signed William Lewis, Master of St. 

 Cross Hospital, it appears that Wright's widow burnt all 

 •the hospital papers and register books, and amongst them 



the deed of union of the two parishes. Signed, John 

 Hunt, chaplain, 1676." 



Are any further particulars known in regard to 

 the circumstances here alluded to ? 



OXONIENSIS. 



"■Praise God! Praise God!" — The Rev. R. 

 J. Cooper would thank the editor to insert a few 

 lines of the following poem, with a view to ascer- 

 taining the author of it : 



" A little child, 

 A little meek-faced quiet village child, 

 Sat singing by her cottage door at eve 

 A low sweet Sabbath song — no human ear 

 Caught the faint melodj' — no human eye 

 Beheld the upturned aspect, or the smile 

 That wreath'd her innocent lips, the while 

 They breathed 



The oft- repeated burden of the hymn 

 ' Praise God ! Praise God ! ' 



" A Seraph bj' the throne 

 In the full glory shone. With eager hand 

 He smote the golden harp-strings, till a flood 

 Of harmony on the celestial air 

 Gush'd forth unceasing." 

 Scalby, W. Scarborough. 



Quotation ivanted: " Then down came the Tem- 

 plars" ^c. — Where do the lines occur : 



" Then down came the Templars like Kedron in flood. 

 And dyed their long lances in Saracen blood." ? 



They sound like Croly's, but I cannot lay my 

 hands on them. N. G. T. 



" Oxford Prize PoemsV — The published series 

 of these dates only from 1806 in a continuous line ; 

 but five earlier are prefixed, of which the first is 

 of 1768. Were there intermediate poems ? and 

 if so, where are they ? W. T. M.

" Maurice and Berghetta ; or the Priest of Ra- 

 hery." — Who was the author of this beautiful, 

 but now forgotten tale ? It has been attributed

Spiders' Webs. — Has any observant and pains- 

 taking naturalist favoured the world with de- 

 scriptions and delineations, from accurate observa- 

 tion of nature, of these curious structures ? And, 

 if so, in what published work are they to be 

 found ? Arachne. 



Heraldry of Jersey. — I am compiling a work 

 on the Heraldry of the Island of Jersey ; may I, 

 through your columns, beg your many heraldic 

 correspondents to favour me with any information 

 at their command with regard to the families 

 of Jersey, their extraction and bearings? Any 

 drawings or works on the subject would be a 

 great desideratum. J. Bertband Payne.
