NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 246. 



It does not appear that the facts therein stated 

 can be strictly authentic. Hatherleigh belonged 

 to the Abbey of Tavistock from before the period 

 of the Domesday survey, and it is not improbable 

 that these were traditionary lines arising from the 

 fact that the waste lands of the manor were granted 

 to the poor by Ordgar, Earl of Devon, on his 

 foundation of the monastery in the year 961 ; or 

 that having been comprised in his grant to the 

 Abbey, the Moor may have been assigned by one 

 of the abbots to the use of the poor tenants of 

 the manor. That a part of the Moor was so 

 granted by the Abbey is asserted by Risdon in 

 his Survey of Devon. The facts of the case could 

 probably be determined only by reference to the 

 chartulary of the monastery, formerly in the hands 

 of Serjeant Maynard, and said afterwards to have 

 been in the possession of the Duke of Bedford, but 

 now not to be found. It is just possible that some 

 intimation of the circumstances may be discovered 

 in the MS. No. 152. in the Library of Queen's 

 College, Oxford, which contains extracts from the 

 chartulary above mentioned. S. J. D. 



A Note from Moore's Diary (Vol. vi., p. 310.). 

 — " Spoke of derivations of different words. Nin- 

 compoop from non-compos. Cockahoop from 

 the taking the cock out of a barrel of ale, and 

 setting it on a hoop to let the ale flow merrily. 

 Talbot, by-the-bye, has since suggested that it 

 was from a game cock put on his mettle with his 

 houppe erect." Ci-ericus Rusticus. 



Anglo-Saxon Graves (Vol. ix., p. 494.). — Per- 

 mit me to assure your correspondent H. E., that 

 archaeologists have no difficulty in identifying 

 relics of the Anglo-Saxon period discovered in 

 tumuli. Your correspondent, who, for aught I 

 know, may be a Trustee of the British Museum, 

 asks, somewhat naively, whether Anglo-Saxon 

 coins have been discovered in these graves. He 

 evidently thereby confounds the Pagan period 

 and the Christian period, — a singular confusion for 

 one who takes any real intferest in the matter. 

 Anglo-Saxon coins have been discovered in Anglo- 

 Saxon tumuli, and I need not do more than cite 

 in confirmation of this fact the thirtieth volume 

 of the Archceologia, p. 56. Again, Merovingian 

 coins have been found in the Frank graves of 

 Normandy, and it is well known that they are of 

 the period between the reigns of Clovis and 

 Charlemagne. I fear it was ignorance of such 

 significant facts that led to the rejection of the 

 Fawcett collection by the Trustees of the British 

 Museum ! E. H. 



Princess AmelicCs Household (Vol. x., p. 29.). — 

 I think Leveret will find what he wants in the 

 successive editions of Chamberlain's Present State 

 of Great Britain, which gives a kind of court and 

 official calendar from the time of William III. to 



George II. inclusive. I am not sure whether it 

 was not continued for some years of the reio-n of 

 George III. ° c.

Siatitti to (S^QKxti^nntstnii, 



Owing to the extent of the Index id odr Ninth Voldme, which com- 

 pels us to infringe upon the present Number, ive have been compelled to 

 omit many tnteresting communications, our usual Notes on Boosi, ^c. 



T. B. P. (Exeterl. We can give no opinion as to the proposed papers 

 uiithout seeing them. The subject is certaiiHy one of great interest, 



3. G. T. Gooseberry-fool is "pressed gooseberries," from the French 

 Fouler, " to press or crush," Sfc. 



J. 6. P. (Newcastle) shaU receive a reply to his Queries. 



Abhba. The promised " Memoir of the Rawdon Family " never 

 appeared. 



J. D. (Edinburgh). Judging from, the specimen you have sent, we 



should say that the negative had been insufficiently exposed in the camera. 

 Also that if used in a double slide, tliatthe light had affected tlie back of 

 one of the papers whiht the other was being exposed. This should be 

 remedied by placing a piece of yellow paper between them. Your sky 

 appears intense ami good. 



J. R. D. If you float your paper upon the solution of muriated salts, 

 instead of completely immersing it, you will find the picture remains 

 more on the surface and looks brighter. If hotpressed, it adds much to 

 the brilliancy ofnan-albumenized proofs. 



Erratum. In the seventh line of Mr. Oppor's article on Early Bibles 

 (Vol. X., p. ll.),/or German read Genevan.

 trust that t/tis will give increased facility of reference, and meet the 

 approval of our reaaers.
