NOTES AND QUERIES.

reconcile these two opposing statements ? I am 

 also very anxious to obtain information respecting 

 uiiother family of Ward. Bernard Ward of Ban- 

 (fov married Mary, sister of Michael Ward, Bishop 

 of Derry. Was this another branch of the same 

 family ? Y. S. M. 



Charm against the Bite of a Mad Dog. — From 

 an old MS. receipt-book of cookery, medicine, 

 and lucky days and signs, I copy the following, 

 "Against the bite of a Mad Dog": — "Write 

 upon an apple, or on fine white bread, O king of 

 glory, come in Peace — Pax, Max, D, inax. 

 *' Swallow this three mornings fasting, 

 " Also, ' Hax, Max, adinax, opera, chudor.' " 

 Is this charm known ? Have the words ant/ 

 meaning ? A. P. B. 



Tioeedale Family. — About the close of the 

 seventeenth century a Scotch refugee from the 

 persecutions of the Covenant, of the name of 

 Abraham Tweedell, settled in Lancashire. I have 

 applied to the English College of Arms for their 

 armorial bearings without success, and request 

 you to Inform me if the family name of Tweedell, 

 Tweedale, or Tweeddale still exists in Scotland, 

 and where I could meet with heraldic information 

 concerning them. 



I may remark that Wodrow's History of the 

 Sufferings of the Church in Scotland mentions a 

 William Tweedale who was brought before the 

 Ci'iminal Court in 1681 for his nonconformist 

 doings in Lanarkshire, and this is probably the 

 district which the above refugee left during the 

 persecutions of the Civil Wars. A. A. T. 



Bunkers Hill. ■=— From whence does Bunker's 

 Hill, where the battle was fought, derive its 

 name ? It has been said that it is from some 

 place in Lincolnshire. I want reference to the 

 proof. Gus p. Templ. 



Preservation of Salmon. — Now that there is a stir 

 in the right direction regarding the preservation 

 of Salmonidse, and a prize is offered by some mem- 

 bers of the University of Oxford for an Essay on 

 the best means to be adopted for their propaga- 

 tion, the following extract from the Gentleman's 

 Magazine for June, 1749, may be interesting to 

 your piscatorial readers : — 



" Wednesday 7. Two of the greatest draughts of sal- 

 mon were caught in the Thames below Richmond that 

 have been known some years, one net having 35 large 

 salmon in it, and another 22, which lowered the price of 

 fresh salmon at Billingsgate from « Is. to 6rf. per pound.' " 



Can any of your readers inform me how lately 

 salmon have been taken at or near Richmond ? *

 relationship to the Earl of Perth, Viscount Strath- 

 allan, and Lord Oliphant of Gask ? I. M. A.
