NOTES AND QUERIES.

stone, except the Arabic, which adds, "I threw at 

 him three stones into his forehead," but says no- 

 thing of the sling. Dr. Gill, in his Commentary^ 

 has given an English translation of this psalm. 

 Having been rejected by the Latin Church, it is 

 very rarely found In the ancient MS. copies of the 

 Vulgate. Of these I possess ten, besides Psalters, 

 and have examined numerous other copies, but 

 never found it in any but in a beautiful folio in 

 my library. 



It is in the Latin translation of the Septuagint, 

 Rome, 1588, under the auspices of Quintus V., 

 and in one Vulgate Latin Bible, printed at Co- 

 logne by Conradu de Homborch, 1479, fine copies 

 of which are also in my collection.

Henry Justice, Esq. (2"'^ S. v. 394.)— Avery 

 full report of the trial of this gentleman in May, 

 1736, for stealing books from Trinity College, 

 Cambridge, will be found in the Sessions paper 

 (a shorthand report of the trials at the Old 

 Bailey), for the years 1735-6, p. 110. This 

 volume of the work is in the City of London Li- 

 brary at Guildhall, at Lincoln's Inn Library, and 

 at the British Museum. 



The Report occupies fifteen pages, and contains 

 a verbatim copy of the indictment.

Tenth Wave (2"^ S. v. 194. &c.) — In the ima- 

 ginary inventory of the property at Rich's Theatre, 

 in The Tatler, No. 42., is the following : 



" Three bottles and a half of lightning. 

 " One shower of snow in the whitest French paper. 

 " Two showers of a browner sort. 



" A sea consisting of a dozen large waves, the tenth 

 bigger than ordinary, and a little damaged." 



On the south coast I have heard it said they 

 reckon a cycle of three small waves, seven of mo- 

 derate size, and three large ones. A. A. 



The Beresford Ghost (2°* S. v. 342.) — I have 

 in my possession a tract, printed at Washington, 

 1822, 8vo. The title as follows : — 



" Most extraordinary forewarning, as it really occurred 

 in the family of Lord Tyrone, in Ireland, in the month of 

 August, 1802." 



The same story is related, the particulars mi- 

 nutely detailed, in a work privately printed by 

 John Lyons, Esq., of Ledestown, co. Westmeath, 

 entitled The Grand Juries of the County West' 

 meath from 1721 to 1851 (?), 2 vols. 8vo. The 

 book contains much curious matter, and is become 

 exceedingly scarce. F. R. Stewart,

As the 33rd Regiment fought at Bunker's Hill 

 on June 17, 1775, it is sufficiently evident they 

 were in America at that and at a subsequent 

 period. Capt. Arthur Beevor, an officer in the 



regiment, was wounded in the action ; he was 

 the boon companion of Sherbroke and Wynyard. 

 Holding the nearest connexion with that Ibow de- 

 ceased officer, the tale was made familiar by fre- 

 quent repetition, and does in no respect diflfer 

 from the version given by Candidus, and was 

 always ended by the meeting of the twin brother 

 in London. 



The relation of the dream which led to the ap- 

 prehension and conviction of the murderer in 

 Sutherlandshire appeared in the public prints 

 very soon after the remarkable disclosure of the 

 Red-bam murder in Suffi)lk. H. Davenbt. 



Elogium of Martin Luther (2°<^ S. v. 415.) — 

 The name of the author of the Latin acrostic is 

 Andre des Freux, the first secretary of Loyola, 

 on the institution of the Jesuits. It is the third 

 in number of his Epigrammata in Hcereticos, a 

 small volume printed at Douai in 1606, " auctore 

 Andrea Frusio societatis Jesu." There probably 

 is an earlier edition, as the licence of printing, on 

 the reverse of the title, is dated mense Julio 1591. 

 The epigrams are 251 in number. V. F. S. 



Family of Fothergill (2"** S. v. 170.) —It may 

 be interesting to know that near the altar in St. 

 Mary's church, Newington Butts, is a neat marble 

 tablet containing four paragraphs. The first runs 

 thus : — 



" To the Memory 



of Anthony Fothergill, M.D., F.R.S. 



a native of Westmorland, in England, 



who departed this life at an advanced age, 



A.D. 1813, 



and rests here in the humble hope of a 



glorious resurrection." 



I shall be happy to furnish the remainder of the 

 inscription, should it be desired by the parties in- 

 terested, or they may have access to the church at 

 any time to see or copy the tablet by using my 

 name. W. T. Iliff, Rector's Churchwarden.

Copying Ferns (2""* S. v. 456.) — The most per- 

 fect and beautiful copies imaginable of ferns, &c. 

 may be made by thoroughly saturating them in 

 common porter, and then laying them flat between 

 white sheets of paper (without more pressure than 

 the leaves of an ordinary book bear to each other) 

 and let them dry out. S. R. 



Lord Raglan and bad Writing (2°<* S. v. 376.) — 

 If your correspondent will look into Jones's Sieges 

 in Spain, vol. ii. note 31., he will find the letter in 

 full, both in cypher and in translation ; with an 

 account of its being decyphei'ed by the Duke of 

 Wellington. G. R. D. C. 



Blake beried (2°'^ S. v. 387.) — 

 " Blake, naked. 

 Black buried, gone to h— 11." — Coles's Dictionary, ed. 

 1724.
