NOTES AND QUERIES. 



169 



& Q." that the attendants at the synagogue wear 

 their hats during the service. The same custom 

 holds also among the " Friends," excepting during 

 prayer ; although in this latter case it is, I pre- 

 sume, to show that man should not uncover his 

 head to buildings more than to men ; and that to 

 God only should such honour be rendered. But 

 in Peck's Desiderata Curiosa is the following 

 paragraph : — 



« Richard Cox, Lord Bishop of Ely, died July 22, 1581, 

 and was afterwards verj' solemnly buried in his own 

 cathedral. I have seen an admirable, fair, large old 

 drawing,' exhibiting in one view his funeral procession ; 

 and, in another, the whole assembly (and as appears by 

 the drawing a verj' great one too), sitting in the choir to 

 hear the funeral Sermon, all covered, and having their 

 bonnets on." 



I will add here in respect to the separation of 

 men and women in churches, that in some parts 

 of Wales it is customary among Dissenters, in 

 those places of worship which have galleries, for 

 the men to sit in one side gallery, and the women 

 in the other, although men and women sit toge- 

 ther in the lower part of the building.

Samuel Ogle. — Any particulars relating to Rt. 

 Hon. Samuel Ogle of Bousden, Northumberland, 

 born March 25, 1658; died in Dublin, March 10, 

 1718, recorder, and twenty-four years M.P. for 

 Berwick-on-Tweed, and in 1699 commissioner of 

 the reveniie, would be most acceptable. His first 

 wife was Elizabeth, widow of Thomas Dawson, 

 merchant, of Newcastle-on-Tyne. Whose daughter 

 was she ? If any correspondent would wish to see 

 the pedigree since, I shall be very happy to fur- 

 nish it. Dodo. 



Song of " The Doughs." — What is the history 

 of, who is the author, and who the person sup- 

 posed to utter the following lament ? 



" Could ye come back to me 

 In the dear likeness that I knew ; 

 Could ye come back again, 

 I'd be so faithful, so loving, 

 Douglas, Douglas, tender and true. 

 Never a scornful word 

 Ever should pain ye ; 

 I'd smile as sweet as the angels smile, 

 Such as thy smile on me 



Broke from thee ever, 

 Douglas, Douglas, tender and true. 

 ! to call back the days that are not ! 



My eyes were blinded, 

 Your words were few ; 



You know the truth now, there up In Heaven, 

 Douglas, Douglas, tender and true."

Episcopal Wig, Mitre, and Cope. — The late 

 Bishop Bagot (Bath and Wells) was, it appears, 



the first, and Dr. Blomfield (late Bishop of Lon- 

 don) the second, on our English Episcopal Bench, 

 who abandoned the use of wigs. Are there any 

 prelates now living, save the two archbishops, who 

 still adhere to this powdered appendage ? The 

 Archbishop of Canterbury, who succeeded Dr. 

 Blomfield in the see of Chester, never, when robed, 

 appeared without his wig ; while, on the contrary, 

 Dr. Graham, our present amiable diocesan, has 

 never been known to wear one. 



Is there any perfect specimen of the old English 

 mitre now in existence ? I of course except the 

 fragment of the one used by William of Wykeham, 

 preserved in New College, Oxon. I am aware, 

 too, of the mitres still remaining at Maryland and 

 Connecticut in the United States. 



Is the cope worn now by bishops or archbishops 

 at the time of consecration ? T. Hughes. 



Chester. 



Rogers the Painter. — This artist is reported to 

 have painted the famous picture of the " Bom- 

 bardment of Algiers" in 1813. Who was he, and 

 where are any of his works to be seen ? 



Terra Vert. 



• Negus of Norfolk. — Wliere can I see a pedigree 

 of this family ? If my memory serves me, Henry 

 N. Burroughes, the Member for the Eastern divi- 

 sion of the county, is a maternal descendant of 

 this old and wealthy family. 



Ralph Gillingwater. 



Naper of Loughcrew. — This family, including 

 Lord Sherborne, claims to be descended from 

 James, fourth son of Sir Nathaniel Naper, but all 

 the Harl. MSS. concur in making James the sixth 

 son. In Harl. MSS. 1166, which is apparently 

 an original visitation of 1623 (and in several 

 others), the names of the sons are given as : 1. 

 Gerrard, aged seventeen ; 2. Robert ; 3. John ; 

 4. Nathaniel ; 5. Henry ; 6. James. John and 

 Henry settled at New Ross, co. Wexford, where 

 the latter founded a family still in existence. 

 They retain the true mode of spelling the name, 

 Napper, as appears by Sir Nathaniel's own signature 

 certifying his pedigree. By the way, who was the 

 James Napper of Dublin who married, in Jan. 

 1695, Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Barry, third 

 Lord San try, and had they any issue ? Y. S. M. 



Irish Plays. — Can any of the readers of " N.- 

 & Q." oblige me by giving any information re- 

 garding the authorship of the following Irish 

 dramas : — 1. The Conspirators, a Tragi-comic 

 Opera, as it was acted in England and Ireland 

 without applause ; printed at Carrickfergus, 8vo., 

 1749. — 2. The Temple of Peace, a Masque in one 

 act, performed at Dublin ; 8vo., 1749. — 3. Theo- 

 doric, King of Denmark, a Tragedy, by a young 

 Gentlewoman ; Dublin, 8vo,, 1752. — 4. Jl new 

 Scene for the Comedy called " The Knights, or,
