NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 146. 



in the department of the Vosges was known in the 

 time of Philip Augustus, and has lived during a 

 period of 650 years, the grounds on which tliis 

 assertion is made admit of explanation. L. 



Scot of Satchell (Vol. vi., p. 10.). — In reply to 

 your correspondent Sigma 1 beg to acquaint him 

 that there are three editions of Scot's True History 

 of the Families of Scot, viz.: 



1. Edinburgh: 1688, small 4to. 



2. Edinburgh: 1776, small 4to. And, 



3. Hawick: 1786, small 8 vo. 



Satchell was the name of his residence in Rox- 

 btirghshire. He was one of the Sinton and Harden 

 branches of the numerous families of Scot. I may 

 mention that all of the editions are now scarce, 

 particularly iha first one, a copy of which was sold 

 at the Roxburghe Sale for 21. 4s. In Blackwood's 

 and also in Laing's Catalogues for 1812 and 1819, 

 copies are marked at 1^. lis. 6d. T. G. S. 



Edinburgh. 



At p. 162. of a curious catalogue of books pub- 

 lished in 1850 by the well-known antiquarian 

 bookseller, Mr. Stevenson of Edinburgh, I find 

 the following : 



" Captain Walter Scot's True History of the Families 

 of the Name of Scot and Elliot, in the Shires of Rox- 

 burgh and Selkirk, gathered out of Ancient Chronicles, 

 Histories, and Traditions of our Fathers. Quarto, 

 1688: Reprint, 1766." 



I am sorry that I cannot answer the other part 

 of Sigma's Query as to the reason why the Captain 

 was called " Old Satchells." E. N. 



Exterior Stoups (Vol. vi., p. 19.). — I think your 

 correspondent who stated that there was an ex- 

 terior holy-water stoup at Winchester Cathedral 

 must have made only a cursory examination, and 

 have mistaken for stoups two projections from 

 the south wall of the nave. These, however, are 

 about six feet from the ground, and would be com- 

 pletely out of the reach of those forming a large 

 part of a Catholic congregation, namely, females. 

 They are, moreover, perfectly flat on their upper 

 surface. They are placed on the right side, on 

 entering, of two doors, one of which is at the angle 

 formed by the nave with the south transept, the 

 other midway between the transept and the Avest 

 front. There is no other projection at all resem- 

 bling a stoup on the exterior of the building that 

 I can discover. Holde faste Faythe. 



Winton. 



In answer to Cuthbetit Bede's inquiry (Vol. v., 

 p. 560.), I have much pleasure in pointing out to 

 him a solitary example in this county of a holy- 

 water stoup on the exterior of the south wall of 

 the south porch at Hungarton. It grows out, as 

 it were, of the basement moulding, and has a 

 canopy over it. The porch is itself a beautiful 



example of the Perpendicular Period ; and, should 

 your correspondent desire it, I will gladly exchange 

 sketches with him. Thomas L. Walkek. 



Leicester. 



There is an exterior holy-water stoup still 

 remaining, if I remember rightly, at Badge- 

 worth Church in Gloucestershire. I may pos- 

 sibly be mistaken in the church ; but any cor- 

 respondent residing at Cheltenham could easily 

 ascertain the fact. There is also one, much re- 

 sembling a small font, outside the door of the 

 chapel at Haddon Hall in Derbyshire. 



W. FllASEE. 



There is an exterior holy-water stoup at the 

 south side of the west door of the church at AVest 

 Ham, near Pevensey, Sussex. E. H. Y. 



"■Boyd;' Sf-c. (Vol. v., p. 620.). — May not the 

 common root of all be root, to root out, to clear ; 

 going beyond the backwoods fashion of cutting 

 down the trees knee high, and leaving the stumps 

 and roots to rot out at leisure ? And yet the back- 

 woodsmen call this a clearing. J. Ss. 



Pickigni (Vol.vi., p. 75.). — In the Dictionary 

 of T. B. (Blount), published in London, 1670, is 

 the following notice of Pickigni : 



" Pickigni (Fr. ), by the pronunciation of this word 

 in France, aliens were discerned from the native French : 

 as Shibboleth among the Hebrews (Judges xii. 6.). So 

 likewise (in Satids his I'raveh, fol. S.OQ.) you may 

 read how the Genoese were distinguished from the 

 Venetians by naming a sheep. And in our own history, 

 the Flemings (in Wat Tyler's llehellion) were dis- 

 tinguished from English by pronouncing bread and 

 cheese, &C.".— Stow's Survey, fol. 51.

Cowdray Family {Ydl.v'i., p. 75.). — In answer 

 to W. H. L. I beg to state, that a family named 

 Cowdery resided some twenty-five years ago at 

 Godstone in Surrey. Some of the females of the 

 family are still resident there, and represent them- 

 selves as having been in former times in much 

 higher circumstances. The head of the family 

 whom I remember there was a brush-maker in the 

 Strand, having his country-house at Godstone.

James Murray, titular Earl of Dunhar (Vol. vi., 

 p. 11.). — Mungo Murray, of Broughton, who got a 

 charter of the lands of Egernes and Ballinteir in 

 1508, ancestor of the Murray s of Broughton in 

 the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, was second son 

 of Cuthbert Murray, of Cockpool, whose lineal 

 descendant was created Earl of Annandale in 1624. 

 That title became extinct in 1658, but the present 

 heir of line of the family is the Earl of Mansfield, 

 in consequence of the marriage of David, fifth 

 Viscount Stormont, to the lineal representative of
