NOTES AND QUERIES. 



163 



At f. 149. this Sir Hugh Eland's pedigree of 

 twelve generations is given ; his arms were — Barry 

 of six, argent and gules, six martlets or, three, 

 two, and one. By Sir Hugh Eland, Joan had 

 three sons: — 1. Sir John Eland, M.P., who was 

 the subject of the tragedy given in a very enter- 

 taining book, entitled Romantic Records of the 

 Aristocracy, by Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King 

 of Arms (vol. i. p. 52.). ; 2. Richard Eland ; and 

 3. Sir William Eland, the constable of Notting- 

 ham Castle, who betrayed Roger Mortimer, Earl 

 of March, in 1330. 



I have searched, without success, for the arms 

 of Pictaveus : perhaps some of your readers could 

 assist me. Mossom Mbekius. 



Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon. — Among 

 the complimentary addresses prefixed to the 

 Jealous Lovers, by Thomas Randolph, we find one 

 in Latin and English, the latter beginning : 



" Desert keeps close, when they that write by guesse 

 Scatter their scribbles, and invade the Presse," &c. 



It is signed "Edward Hide," and is most pro- 

 bably an early effusion of the great Earl of Cla- 

 rendon. The Jealouft Lovers was acted by the 

 students of Trinity College, Cambridge, before 

 Kin<r Charles and Queen Henrietta, about the year 

 1632 ; at which time Edward Hyde would be in 

 his twenty-fourth year. Have any of his writings 

 come down to us of an earlier date than this ? 



Henry T. Riley. 



Gavelkind at Croyland. — Does gavelkind, or a 

 rule of inheritance of a somewhat similar nature, 

 prevail in the manor of Croyland, in Lincolnshire ? 

 Holditch, in his History of Croyland, 1816, seems 

 to attribute the poverty of the place to a custom 

 of this nature ; and to imply that the land is cut 

 up into small pieces, just sufficient for the pro- 

 prietors to starve upon, Henby T. Riley. 



Etymology oj 'the Title " Count.'' — The title 

 Count is generally supposed to be from the Latin 

 comes, companion, i. e. to the sovereign. Is it 

 not rather from the verb "to count" (French 

 compter^ the emperor's steward : thus answering 

 to the German Graf which seems allied to the 

 Scotch grieve, that is, bailiff? G, Gervais. 



Sabhatine Bull. ~~ The authenticity of this Bull 

 (Sacralissimo in Culmine), attributed to Pope 

 John XXII., " has been questioned by critics : " 

 see Bishop Bouvier on Indulgences, Oakley's trans- 

 lation, p. 216., where among other reasons it is 

 stated that it does not occur in the collection of 

 Bulls issued by John XXIL I am anxious to 

 find from some reader more diligent or fortunate 

 than myself: 



1st. What is the earliest date when I can find 

 this Bull, and the title of the work in which it 

 occurs ? 



2nd. Who is the earliest writer who questions 

 its authenticity on this ground, or that of its style 

 being dissimilar to the other Bulls of John XXII. ? 



In sending these Queries, to prevent misconcep- 

 tion, I wish it to be understood, my object is 

 merely to obtain references to authorities on the 

 subject, not to discuss it, at least in the pages of 

 "N. & Q.," though any notes on this disputed 

 point which the kindness of those who have ex- 

 amined the question may prompt them to forward 

 me will be most thankfully received, in addition 

 to many similar friendly offices already bestowed 

 through the pages of " N. & Q." Enivbi. 



Monkstown, Dublin. 



" Credo, Domine," Sfc. — Who is the author of 

 a religious piece, most properly called a prayer, 

 beginning — 



" Credo, Domine, sed credam firmius ; 

 Spero, sed sperem securius : 



and ending — 



« Da ut 

 Mortem prseveniam, 

 Judicium pertimeam, 

 Infernum effugiam, 

 Paradisum obtineam. Amen." 



P. J. c. 



Cambridge, Massachusetts. 



^^ Solyman." — Can you inform me who is the 

 author of Solyman, a Tragedy, 8vo., 1807 ? This 

 play is very favourably noticed in the Critical 

 Revieiv, where it is reviewed at considerable 

 length. Sigma. (1) 



Indices published in present Century. — I will 

 feel obliged for a note of any Indices, prohibitory 

 or expurgatory, which may have appeared in the 

 present century, as I am preparing a list of the 

 Indices, and find it very difficult to get information 

 about the more recent editions. Enivbi. 



Monkstown, Dublin. 



J. H. Campbell. — Can you tell me where to 

 find particulars respecting J. H. Campbell, an 

 Irish artist, who died In or about the year 1817? 

 I have a landscape painted by him in 1817, pleas- 

 ing and well finished, and interesting to me from 

 its subject, the river Dodder, in the neighbour- 

 hood of Dublin. Any particulars respecting hin» 

 and his works will oblige. Abhba. 



Bean Feasts. — On June 23, the porters of this 

 Inn (Lincoln's Inn) made a collection from the 

 occupants of the various chambers, for what they 

 were pleased to call " the Bean Feast." They did 

 so also last year. This evidently relates^ to St. 

 John's day ; but I find no allusion to it either in 

 Brand, Forster, Brady, Hone, or Hampson.
