NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Sept. 29. 1855. 



onie grand, awtt Jhone Crumone's dochtir, was ordaine it 

 the neist Sabothe, in her awin seait, to crave God par- 

 donne, for ye foresaid sclander, and pave ane penaltie of 

 twa marks, or otherwayls to be put in yejoggis." 



" October 2. — The qlk daye, Jonatt Davie was convict 

 of Douratte Dog, as lykwayis of skandalous misbehaivir 

 hirself towards her husband, lost her twenty-four schil- 

 lingis of consignatione ; and was ordainit ye next Sabothe 

 opinlie in ye congregatioiine to giv ane confessione of 

 bothe foursaid faultis ; and also ye said Jonatt Davie in- 

 actit hirsel, if sche heirafter was fund, tryit, and guiltye 

 of skandalous misbehaiving hirsel in time comin towards 

 her husbande, or of abusing him, to staune ane whoU 

 Sabothe daye in ye jnggis." 



What is here meant by the joggis ? G. B. 



[JuGGS, JouGS, JoGGES (Lat. jugum ; Belg. juk, a 

 3^oke), a kind of pillory; the criminal being fastened 

 to a wall or post by an iron collar, which surrounded his 

 neck. (Jamieson.) "They punish delinquents, making 

 them stand in jogges, as they call their pillories, which in 

 country churches are fixed to the two sides of the maine 

 door of the parish church, cutting the halfe of their haire, 

 shaving their beards," &c. (Maxwell's Burden of Issa- 

 char, p. 3.) The more usual form of the jougs is simply 

 a flat iron collar with distended loops, through which a 

 padlock was passed to secure the culprit in his ignomi- 

 nious durance. In Wilson's Archceohgy of Scotland, 

 p. 691., is a woodcut of a fine old pair of jougs, the pro- 

 perty of Sir VVm. Jardine, Bart., which were found em- 

 bedded in a venerable ash-tree at Applegirth, Dumfries- 

 shire. Consult also Brand's Antiquities, vol. ii. p. 470., 

 Bohn's edition.] 



Richard, Earl of Cornwall, titular king of the 

 Romans (second son of Kinc John), had a young 

 son, Prince Henry, who was murdered by one of 

 the exiled De Montforts at Viterbo. Where can 

 I find the particulars about this affair, and 

 whether the Earl of Cornwall was a resident 

 there ? A. S. 



[The particulars are given by Speed, Historie of Great 

 Britaine, edit. 1632. p. 631. He says, "Pope Gregorie 

 excommunicated the bloudy-handed Guy Montfort (be- 

 cause his person could not easily be gotten, by reason of 

 his greatness and power), with all his receivers, and 

 (untill amends were made) put their whole dominions 

 under interdict, for that the said Guy (sonne to Simon, 

 late Earl of Leicester, slaine at the battle of Evesham), in 

 revenge of his father's death (for which he mortally 

 hated all King Henry's race), had most butcherly mur- 

 thered Henry of Almaine (the sonne of Richard, King of the 

 Romans), King Edward's neere kinsman, upon his return 

 towards England, in the reign of the late King Henry, as 

 he was devoutly serving God in the church at Viterbo in 

 Italy; which horrible act induced a judicious author 

 (Paul. yEmj'l. in Ludo, 6.) to suspect that Guy also had 

 a hand in that assassination on Edward, who had slaine 

 his father. This Guy, being afterward taken by the ad- 

 mirall of Arragon, to gratifie King Edward, was kept in 

 prison, and the death of Henry revenged with his."] 



Gothe's ^^ Hermann and Dorothea." — Can you 

 inform me of the date and scene of Gothe's poem, 

 Hermann and Dorothea ? B. W. J. 



[Many allusions in the Introduction to this poem are 

 suited only to the German public of 1796-7, for which it 

 was written. In Gothe's correspondence with Schiller in 

 1796-7, he consulted him, as he did Humboldt and Kor- 



No. 309.] 



ner, about the Hermann and Dorothea, which he was then 

 writing. He calls it his " Epic Poem," and observes in 

 one letter, " The peace (probably that of Campo Formio) 

 will stand me in good stead, as my poem will gain there- 

 by a more complete unity of effect." This evidently shows 

 that in the poem he meant to delineate his own times. 

 Compare the historical canto, " The Age," with Alison's 

 History of Europe, vol. ii. pp. 500, 501.^ edit. 1849. The 

 scene of the poem is laid in a German countrj'- town on 

 the right bank of the Rhine, and in its neighbourhood. 

 See M. Winter's valuable Introduction to his translation 

 of Hermann and Dorothea. ] 



" Stonehenge," Sfc. — Stonehenge, a Pastoral, by 

 John Speed, temp. James I., mentioned by Anthony 

 k Wood. The name of Speed, in the Brit. Mus. 

 Catalogue, affords no clue to such a work. Is it 

 preserved in any collection of plays ? J. W. 



[Wood (^AthencB, vol. ii. col. 660.) says, "The said Pas- 

 toral is not printed, but goes about in MS. from hand to 

 hand."] 



Speddyll, or Spettell, — In an old book of 

 churchwardens' accounts for the parish of Work- 

 sop, I find the two following items : 



" 1564. It. for the speddyll dore mendyng - - iiiji 

 1565. It. payd for the gret leder settynup to the 



spettell, in bred and ale - - - vjd." 



What is meant by the speddyll, or spettell ? 



J.J. 



[May not these words refer to the 'spital or hospital 

 connected with the Worksop Priory?]

BANBURV ZEAL. 



(Vol. vii., pp. 106. 222. 310. 512.) 

 Should the name of Whately not have turned up 

 in that discussion, I would put in a claim for 

 that worthy, if not for originating the distinction 

 obtained for Banbury, at all events for fostering 

 and maintaining the zeal for which that locality 

 has acquired proverbial note. 



The Rev. William Whately appears to have 

 been Vicar of Banbury in the reign of James I., a 

 Boanerges, indeed, if we may credit the report 

 that he was called "the Roaring Boy of Ban- 

 bury," with reference to whom Fuller says, " only 

 let them (the Banbury folk) adde knowledge to 

 their zeal, and then the more zeal the better their 

 condition ; " and as a proof that the inhabitants 

 were then worthy of their pastor, we are told by 

 his monument — 



" It's William Whately that here lies. 

 Who swam to 's tomb in 's people's eyes." 



Whately wrote several pieces ; among the rest 

 a sermon, entitled Sinne no more, being an in- 

 teresting discourse upon a most terrible fire which 

 occurred at Banbury in 1628, and is remarkably 

 characteristic of the zealous preacher.
