NOTES AND QUERIES.

ton prevented the chance of including his amongst 

 them. 



J. M. G. says " there is another charity school 

 in Bristol, where the dress of the boys is green:" 

 what school is this ? I am not aware of any, and 

 think it must be a mistake. 



Before entering Colston Hospital, Chatterton 

 was at Pile Street School in the parish, and oppo- 

 site to the church of St. Mary RedcliflF: but there 

 also the coat is blue. 



Whilst on this subject, may I refer your readers 

 to the Gent. Mag. for 1784, Part I., where it is 

 recorded that — 



" A rustic monument has lately been erected to the me- 

 mory of the unfortunate Chatterton in a very romantic 

 spot belonging to Philip Thickuesse, Esq., about half a 

 mile from Bath, — a Gothic arch, over which is placed the 

 profile in relief of the lamented youth." 



I understand the spot referred to is now called 

 St. Catherine's Hermitage, near Somerset Place, 

 Bath ; and the adjoining house was, and perhaps 

 is now, a school. Query, does this " rustic monu- 

 ment," with the profile of Chatterton, still exist ? 



Bristoliensis. 



George Washington an Englishman (2°'^ S. iv. 

 6.) — If George Washington was baptized at 

 Cookham, I should think that the fact could be 

 easily ascertained. In the Penny Cycl., tit. 

 Washington (George), it is stated that he was 

 born in Westmorland county, in Virginia, on the 

 22nd of February, 1732. 



The baptismal registers of Cookham are quite 

 accessible, as the parish of Cookham adjoins the 

 town of Maidenhead, — indeed, a part of the town 

 is in that parish ; and in published Population 

 Tables of 1831, there Is what is called the " Parish 

 Register Abstract," from which it appears that 

 the Cookham Register No. 2. contains the bap- 

 tisms there from 1727 to 1808, and no mention is 

 made of any mutilation. And it is highly probable 

 that the annual duplicate of these registers, made 

 under the Canons of 1603, will be found in the 

 Bishop's Registry at Salisbury ; and from these 

 any chasm made by the mutilation of the original 

 registers might be filled up.

Service for Consecration and Reconciliation of 

 Churches (2"^ S. ill. 249.) — At the end of 7'he 

 Book of Common Prayer and Administration of 

 the Sacraments and other Rites and Ceremonies of 

 the Church, according to the use of the Church of 

 Ireland, Dublin, 1721, there are services entitled 

 " A Form of Consecration or Dedication of 

 Churches and Chapels, according to the use of 

 the Church of Ireland." Also " An Office to be 

 used in the Restauratlon of a Church." (When 

 the fabric of a church is ruined, and a new 

 church is built upon the same foundation.) Also, 



" A Short Office for Expiation and Illustration of 

 a Church desecrated or Prophan'd." 



I copy these titles from a Prayer Book which I 

 found in the parish church of Winkfield, lettered 

 on the two sides, — 



" Winkfield Church, 

 Diocess Sarum."

Anne, a Male Name (2°^ S. Hi. 508.)— I thought 

 I remembered an instance in the Keppel family ; 

 and accordingly, on reference to the Peerage, I 

 find that the second Earl of Albemarle was a god- 

 son of Queen Anne, and out of compliment to his 

 royal godmother received at his baptism the name 

 of William- Anne. E. H. A.

A Bishop to go to the very great Devil (2"* S. 

 iv. 5.) — A. S. T. asks : "Is this the fun of the 

 court or of the reporter, or of some subsequent 

 copyist ? " I would suggest that it was the fun of 

 the court. A judgment for a defendant, — " quod 

 eat inde sine die" "that he go thereof without 

 day," — has continued to our own time. The 

 Year Books were published from the notes of 

 reporters authorised by the courts, from the reign 

 of Edward I. to that of Henry VIII., both inclu- 

 sive ; and this appears at the end of the judgment 

 of the court as delivered by Mr. Justice Moubray 

 (here printed Mombray), who was appointed a 

 judge of the Court of Common Pleas, 33 Edw. III. 



The entire passage is as follows (Year Book, 

 43 Edw. III., 34. pi. 43.) : 



" Mombray. Ex essensu sociorum, p. c. q. le Roy done 

 I'advowson simplemt. al predec. I'Evesq. et a ses succ. etc, 

 et ou le chre. voet q. il poet amortiser a un chant, p. les 

 almes les progenitors nre dit Snr. le Roy, c. ne fuit forsq. 

 un licence en ley, per quel il n'est tenust de amortiser si 

 non a sa volunt, et vous Evesq. ales au tres graund 

 Deable sans jour." 

 Which may be thus translated : — 



" Mr. Justice Mowbray (with the assent of his fellows). 

 ' For this that the King gives the advowson simply to 

 the predecessor of the Bishop, and to his successors, &c., 

 and where the Charter wills that he can amortise to a 

 (3hantry for the souls of the progenitors of our said Lord 

 the King, this was not perhaps a licence in law, by which 

 he is not held from amortising if not at his will, and you 

 Bishop go to the very great Devil sine die."

Antigropelos (2°'> S. ill. 488.) — When an in-

 of the above article was applied for some years 

 since to the late Sir L. Shadwell, it was stated, to 

 the amusement of the classical Vice-Chancellor,
