NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2»<i S. V. 124., May 15. '58. 



deodand, seems pliilologlcally to enter into every 

 term expressive of a pardon. The preliminary in 

 all is " an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Such 

 is the language of civilised nations, and such is, I 

 believe, the language of the uncivilised. Hence 

 my inquiry, whether in any dialect, ancient or 

 modern, there be a primitive word expressive of 

 the idea of forgiveness, free, spontaneous, and 

 unpurchased ? J. E. T. 



Alderman Sir Julius Ccesar, — I have an old 

 book entitled A Choice Medley of Poems by se- 

 veral Persons of Distinction, printed at London, 

 without date, but from the matter I suppose be- 

 tween 1740 and 1750. In it is " A Copy of Verses 



in Honour of Aid — n Sir J s C r," who is 



represented as gaining honours and money by ap- 

 propriating the labours of other men. I transcribe 

 two stanzas : — 



" Julius Csesar Scaliger, 

 Himself, though half a Jew, 

 Made his pedigree and coat-of-arms, 



As Heralds did for you. 

 Julius Caesaii Bottifang, 



A courtier grand like you. 

 Made fiddles, breeches, horns, and boots, 

 And played and wore them too." 



I wish to know whether any alderman of that 

 time bore the Christian names "Julius Caesar," 

 and who was "Julius Cassar Bottifang ?" E. K. 



Portrait of Cowley the Poet, by Momper. — Can 

 any reader of "N. & Q." inform me whether 

 Momper was a painter of portraits? Bryan, in 

 his Dictionary, describes him as a landscape pain- 

 ter, and does not mention that he ever attempted 

 portraits. I met with, recently, an old oil paint- 

 ing, a portrait of a youth apparently not more 

 than eighteen years of age, with long black curly 

 hair, parted in the centre like a female's. At the 

 back, on the stretcher, is a strip of paper with 

 " Cowley the Poet, by Momper," written upon it 

 with ink brown with age. L. A. N. 



Peter Marchant. — Can any reader of " N. & 

 Q." give me an account of a small tract, or rather 

 portion of a tract (pages 1 to 74 inclusive, want- 

 ing the title-page) which now lies before me, and 

 is described in p. 1. as 



" Relatio veridica et sincera statvs Provinciaj Hiberniaj 

 ordinis Minorvm Regularis Observantise svb Regimine 

 F. Petri Marchant, Commissarij Generalis Nationalis 

 super Provincias Germania; superioris, Belgij et Britan- 

 nicas : ad Reverendissimvm Patrcm Totivs Ordinis Minis- 

 trvm Generalem, nee nonRev™"' ac plurimum Reverendos 

 Patres in Capitvlo Generali Romse Congregates. Hoc 

 anno 1651 in festo Pentecostes." 



I am desirous of getting some account of Peter 

 Marchant, and also a copy of the title-page, &c. 

 The book may be of frequent occurrence ; but 

 any collection to which I have access does not 

 contain it, nor can I trace it in any catalogue in 

 my possession. Enivei. 



Novel by Sir Charles Napier. — I have seen 

 several hints lately of the existence of a novel 

 written by the late Sir Charles Napier. Can you 

 or any of your correspondents inform me whether 

 such a thing be in existence? or whether the 

 public are likely to be favoured with it ? A. W. 



" Reparation." — Who is the author of Repara- 

 tion, or the Savoyards, a Play, 8vo., 1824 ? X. 



Surnames with the Prefix Fitz. — Does there 

 exist, in print or MS., any copious list of these ? 

 I have of course such as occur in the peerages 

 and heraldic dictionaries. M. A. Lower. 



Lewes. 



Henry Justice was tried at the Old Bailey in 

 May, 1736, for stealing books from Trinity Col- 

 lege Library, Cambridge. Where can I find a 

 more detailed account of his trial than that given 

 by Hone in his Every-Day Book ? Were any of 

 the books ever recovered ? Libya. 



Mathew of Glamorgan. — Where can I sec a 

 full account of the younger branches of this family, 

 particularly of that seated at Stanstead Park, 

 Sussex ? In Berry's Sussex Genealogies the con- 

 nexion of the latter with the LlandafF family is 

 stated, but not traced. C. J. R. 



Bells. — Dugdale (Bar. vol. i. p. 125.) says that 

 William de Mowbray, upon founding a chapel at 

 Thirsk, and therein a chantry, obtained for it, by 

 composition made with the monks of Newburgh 

 (it not being a parochial church), the privilege of 

 having a bell rung when mass was celebrated 

 within its walls, upon certain specified occasions. 



Query. Were none but parochial churches 

 allowed to summon to prayer by the ringing of a 

 bell? or was the bell here referred to a sanctus or 

 sacring bell, hung externally, and rung at the ap- 

 pointed passage in the office of the Mass ?

Leicester. 



Portrait of William Duke of Gloucester : Ghu- 

 ler. — Can you or any of your readers give me a 

 list of portraits of William Duke of Gloster, the 

 last remaining child of Queen Anne, with the 

 artists' names, and also in whose possession such 

 portraits may be found ? Can you also inform 

 me when an artist of the name of " Ghuler " 

 painted, and in what estimation his portraits arc 

 held ? W. W. W. 



Diocesan Registry of Cork. — AVould R. C, who 

 has given us an interesting extract from the Ar- 

 chives of the United Dioceses of Cork and Ross 

 (2"'^ S. v. 313.), kindly inform me what materials 

 are preserved in that repository which would be 

 available for compiling a list of the succession of 

 incumbents of the several parishes of those die-
