NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Nov. 17. 1855. 



daughter of Edmund Keene the younger, and 

 Frances Locke ? 



H. C. C. gives the date of John Locke's will 

 Sept. 15, 1704 (?). I have it April 11, 1704, 

 with a coilicil, Sept. 5. following. 



According to the account furnished by H. C. C, 

 Anne and Elizabeth Locke, the former wife of 

 Jeremy King, and the latter of William Stratton, 

 would not be the nieces, but the first cousins, of 

 John Locke the philosopher. 



The name of Kenn should be, I believe, Keene, 

 it is so spelt in deeds I have seen. 



Jeremy Locke (uncle of the philosopher), who 

 married Elizabeth Keene, had children baptized 

 at Wringlon, but whether they lived or not I am 

 unable to say. C. J. 



''Pilam Pedulem" Sfc. (Vol. xii., p. 326.). — 

 In reply to your correspondent K. P. D. E.'s 

 Query, I have to inform him that the entry is 

 nothing more than a presentment of AVilliam de 

 Welton for misbehaving himself in playing at 

 foot-ball, and other prohibited games. Foot-ball 

 was pi'obably one of the games which were pro- 

 hibited by several enactments in the reigns of Ed- 

 ward IV. and Henry VII., and of course were in 

 force 1 Hen. VHL, the date named by K. P. D. E. 

 John Nurse Chadwick. 



King's Lynn. 



Pila pedalis, being literally Englishised, means 

 "foot-ball," and as this game was prohibited in 

 Scotland by King James II., in 14-57, and again in 

 1481, by James IV., it may have been an unlaw- 

 ful game (j'ocus illicitus) in England in the time 

 of Henry VlIL, some twenty years later on.

" Item, they present and declare that William Welton 

 misbehaved himself in playing at foot-ball and other un- 

 lawful sports." 



For the meaning of pila pedalis, consult the 

 English and Latin Dictionary of Littleton. C. H. 



CurlVs '' Corinna" (Vol. xii., p. 277.). — The 

 writer of the paper on this lady would perhaps be 

 interested to know that a long and entertaining 

 memoir of her, written, if I remember rightly, 

 from private sources, appeared in Chamhers' Edin- 

 burgh Journal about seven or eight years ago. I 

 have not the number at hand, but a reference to 

 the indexes for the above title would no doubt 

 find it. H. J.

Sedilia (Vol. xii., p. 344.). — The following 

 churches on the Continent have sedilia. In 

 Rhenish-Prussia at Marienburg, sedilia on the 

 south side ; also at Boppard, in the Carmelites' 

 Church, triple sedilia carved in wood, with ca- 

 nopies. At Frankfort-on-the-Maine, in the 

 minster, in the Wahlkapelle, on the south side 



No. 316.] 



are the remains of sedilia with mutilated canopies. 

 At llatisbon Cathedral the south wall of the sa- 

 crarium contains five sedilia. At Augsburg, in 

 the Dom, on the south side are three fine equal 

 sedilia. At Stuttgai'd, in the hospital-church, are 

 sedilia. In the Dionysiuskirche at Esslingen are 

 sedilia of four niches, with tracery above each, all 

 in a square head. The Certosa, near Pavia, has 

 sedilia. Also at Padua, the S. Maria dell' Arena 

 has sedilia. 



But there can be^no doubt that this is a very 

 rare continental feature ; and in most, if not all, 

 of the instances named, the sedilia are not used, 

 but moveable seats are placed before them. 



G. B. AcwoRTH also asks if any bishop's thrones 

 exist out of England. 



In Augsburg Cathedral, at the end of the apse, 

 is an episcopal throne of stone, supported on two 

 couchant lions, and raised on several steps. In 

 Milan Cathedral, at the end of the apse, is an 

 episcopal throne, a stone seat with low arms 

 carved in couchant lions. In S. Stephauo, at 

 Verona, the pontifical stone seat remains at a high 

 level. St. Mark's, at Venice, has the patriarch's 

 throne. In the sacristy of the cathedral at Ra- 

 venna is kept the stone pontifical chair, carved 

 with the history of Joseph. Again at Torcello, 

 Venice, in the cathedral, is an arrangement pro- 

 bably unique; the apse is filled with concentric 

 stone seats, six in number, rising one above 

 another like an amphitheatre ; while in the middle 

 point, higher than all, is the episcopal chair, raised 

 considerably higher than the rest, with stone side 

 walls, and a steep separate ascent of thirteen steps 

 immediately before it. The back of the episcopal 

 chair is of alabaster, beautifully carved, with a 

 cross between stars and flowers. The cross is 

 covered with interlacing flower-work, with a hand 

 in benediction in the centre. The slab is three 

 feet one inch high, and twenty-two inches broad. 

 The seat is thirteen and a half inches broad, and 

 seventeen and a half inches high. It is at the 

 latest of the eleventh century. Cetrei'. 



Bank Notes for a Million (Vol. xii., p. 366.). — 

 Your correspondent D. is welcome to my copy of 

 Pen and Ink Sketches of the poets. Perhaps he 

 will inform me through your medium to what ad- 

 dress he wishes it sent. I am glad of the oppor- 

 tunity of being able to return an oft repeated 

 kindness rendered to me by several of your cor- 

 respondents, y- 



Odes on St. Cecilia's Day (Vol. xii., p. 305.). — 

 I think the general courtesy of the Rev. W. II. 

 Havergal, of St. Nicholas Rectory, Worcester, 

 will afford your correspondent W. II. Husk much 

 interesting, and certainly useful, information re- 

 specting the various Odes on St. Cecilia's Day. 

 Mr. Havergal has been a collector of everything
