NOTES AND QUEKIES.

ward them to the Philological Society. I estimate 

 the names of localities, including hamlets, hun- 

 dreds, deaneries, &c., at about 10,000: as, of 

 course, the various Bartons, Nortons, &c., would 

 occur but once in such a dictionary. 



And the 40,000 surnames, I am sure, by omit- 

 ting the various modes of spelling (e. g. with one 

 or two final ts, with or without a final e, and 

 others,) would be reduced to little more than 

 half that number. 



I fear 1 have digressed far from my text ; but 

 I am sure that Mr. Lower will pardon me for 

 making his Query a peg on which to hang such 

 kindred speculations. E. G. R. 



Manners Family (2°'^ S. iv. 171.) — Charles 

 Manners Sutton, fourth son of Lord George Man- 

 ners, the third son of John, third Duke of Rut- 

 land, was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 

 1804. He married Mar)', daughter of Thomas 

 Thoroton, Esq., of Nottinghamshire, who was de- 

 scended from the bi'other of Dr. Thoroton, the 

 historian of Nottinghamshire. Mrs. Sutton's 

 eldest brother, Thomas Thoroton, Esq., M.P., lived 

 at Flintham in Lincolnshire, on the border of 

 Notts. Alfred T, Lee. 



If C. J. will address me by post, I shall be happy 

 to give him any information he requires respecting 

 Edward Manners, Esq., of Goadby Marwood, who 

 was my grandfather. Louisa. JuliA NorMan.

"■PomfrcU Choice'' (2"* S. iv. 106. 159.)— In a 

 12mo. edition of the Choice^ ^c., in 1736, the 

 Preface is dated, London, anno 1699. Glwysig. 



Irish Almanacs (2°'" S. iv. 106.) — It appears 

 that the first Dublin Directory was published by 

 Peter Wilson in the year" 1752. He published a 

 second in 1753, and did not publish another until 

 1760 ; and from thence down to 1802 it continued 

 to be published by him and his son, viz. by Peter 

 Wilson solely down to and including 1768 ; by 

 Peter Wilson and his son William Wilson jointly 

 from 1769 to 1771 inclusive; and by William 

 Wilson solely from 1772 to 1801 inclusive. In 

 1802 Peter Wilson again solely published the 

 Dublin Directory. See advertisements in Di- 

 rectories for 1740, 1802, and 1803, which taken 

 together will, as I conceive, establish the fore- 

 going. S. N. R. 



Valence (2"'^ S. iv. 171.) — There is a parish in 

 Gloucestershire called Moreton Valence. Its an- 

 cient name of Moreton signifies town or the water. 

 It received the addition of Valence from a family 

 of that name who were Earls of Pembroke, and 

 lords of this manor in the reigns of Edw. I. and 



Edw. ir. 



Robert De Pont de Larch was seised of this 

 manor 30 Hen. HI., and gave it, with several 



others, to William de Valentia, afterwards Earl of 

 Pembroke, and was confirmed to him 36 Hen. III. 

 (Rudder's Gloucestershire., in loco) 



Probably Newton Valence, in Hampshire, and 

 Sutton Valence, in Kent, were some of the " se- 

 veral others" above alluded to. But, if not, it is 

 more likely that they too took their added names 

 from the family name of their possessor, than that 

 he took his name from them. P. H. F. 



The manor of Sutton belonged to Joan de 

 Valence, mother of the well-known Aymer de 

 Valence, Earl of Pembroke ; and of Isabel, wife 

 to John de Hastings, of Bergavenny. The manor 

 was sometimes called Sutton Hastings, but that 

 name was lost in the earlier, title of Valence. It 

 is quite common for a manor to take the name of 

 its possessor, as Hurst Monceux, or Pierpoint, &c. 

 De Valence was a Norman title.

" Captain Wedderburn's Courtship " (2"'' S. iv. 

 170.) — K. is informed that the ballad " Captain 

 Wedderburn's Courtship," is to be found in a 

 small volume entitled The Common-Place Book of 

 Ancient and Modern Ballad, published by Ander- 

 son at Edinburgh in 1824. It is there stated to 

 be extracted from Jamieson's Popular Ballads and 

 Songs, Edinburgh, 1806. P. Q. 



Coney Gore (P' S. xii. 195.) — The following 

 passage, which I have just met with, might sug- 

 gest another etymology for the above, though that 

 given by S. H. Griffith is most likely the true 

 one : 



" At last, finding no safetie or protection in any of those 

 places, shee (the hare) betooke her selfe vnto the Conies 

 in a Coni-greene," &c. — Quatemio (by Th. Nashe, 1632), 

 p. 34.

Bishop of Rome (2"'* S. iv. 150.) — The per- 

 sonage supposed by Mr. Raikes to be a second 

 Bishop of Rome, which supposition by the way 

 was a great absurdity on his part, must have been 

 simply the Cardinal Vicar, who acts for the Pope 

 in the administration of the diocese of Rome, but 

 of course is by no means a second bishop of the 

 Holy See. F. C. H. 



Scallenge (2"'^ S. ii. 494.) — With respect to 

 the question as to the confusion of scallenge and 

 calends, it may be remarked that Wright, in his 

 Obsolete and Provincial Dictionary, explains " scal- 

 lage " to mean a lich-gate in the western counties, 

 and " scallenge-gate " to bear the same significa- 

 tion in Hampshire. Can any of your correspon- 

 dents from the latter county confirm or illustrate 

 the usage of this word in their neighbourhood ?

Sir Geo. Lemarl Tuthill (2"'i S. iv. 150.) — A 

 medical relative reading the inquiry referred to 

 made the following observation: "A Sir G. L.
