KIMMERIDGE COAL MONET. 



(2"'i S. iv. 473.) 



From some experience of these curious relics of 

 the past, I may presume to call in question the 

 correctness of Dr. Buckland's opinion concerning 

 them ; nor do I think that he ever published a 

 line on the subject. The so-called coal money is 

 certainly found sometimes in connexion with frag- 

 ments of lloman pottery, but not so as to indicate 

 anything but accidental proximity. The large 

 quantity of it that has been occasionally found 

 in one spot forbids the idea that each disc was 

 turned for the purpose of forming a block for 

 moulding the hollow feet of earthenware vessels, 

 for so I understand the Dean's hypothesis. Surely 

 this might have been effected by simpler means. 

 I am acquainted with several private collections 

 of antiquities in Dorsetshire, where of course the 

 coal money is a well-known object of interest ; 

 but never have I seen, nor ever heard of a speci- 

 men like that alluded to by A. A. There can be 

 no doubt that the author of the paper in Tkq, Ar- 

 cJicEologia on these articles was right when he de- 

 scribed them as the chucks or refuse pieces thrown 

 off from the lathe, after the working off of rings 

 and armillas. Such rings have frequently been dis- 

 covered, and I have seen a blundered piece of the 

 material, showing a portion of a ring imperfectly 

 formed, attached to part of the circumference of 

 the disc, which had evidently fractured in the 

 process of turning. I once showed some of these 

 discs to a Tonbridge turner, who immediately 

 pronounced what their real nature was, and in my 

 presence turned a ring from a block of the same 

 jtnaterial ; thus producing a very good specimen of 

 modern " coal money " as an illustration of an- 

 cient art, in the fabrication of an object that has 

 puzzled many a learned antiquary. W. S. 



J. Jackson of Cambridge (2"* S. ii. 171.) —1 

 have lately observed your communication as to J. 

 Jackson, principal bass singer for forty-five years 

 at Trinity College, Cambridge. 



I know not to what degree you may be interested; 

 therefore I think it right to mention that what 

 appears to be the original drawing (well printed) 

 of him is in my possession ; also his epitaph, of 

 twenty lines, written by himself. 



Under the portrait is written, " J. Jackson, 

 45 years singer at Trin. Coll. Chap. Cambridge. 

 Harding, .delineavit et donavit." This came to 

 me, with some paintings, and also caricatures and 

 other portraits of some of the University notables, 

 on the decease of a lady who was the only daughter 

 of a gentleman who resided in Cambridge.

Melford, near Sudbury, Suffolk. 



Robert Courfhose (2"* S. iv. 453,) — This unfor- 

 tunate prince had two sons. The elder, William, 

 Earl of Flanders, surnaraed the Miser, was slain 

 in battle In 1128, leaving Theodorick, his compe- 

 titor, in possession of the earldom. He was twice 

 married : first to Sibil, daughter of Fulk, Earl of 

 Anjou, who was divorced from him, and married 

 to the above-named Theodorick. He subse- 

 quently married Joan, daughter of Humbert, Earl 

 of Morienne ; but left no Issue by either wife. 



Henry, the second sou of Robert, was acci- 

 dentally killed in the New Forest. 



I have seen the two lines of the epitaph to 

 which A. C. M. refers written thus : — 

 " Hie jacet Tom Shorthose ; 



Sine tomb, sine sheep, sine riches ; 

 Qui vixit sine gown, sine cloak, 

 Sine shirt, sine breeches."

William Primatt (2°^ S. iv. 513.)— I suspect 

 that the person of this name, of whom C. H. k 

 Thompson Cooper make inquiries, was rector of 

 West Walton, Norfolk, to which he was pre- 

 sented by Lord Coleraln in 1729 ; and he was 

 aged sixty-eight when he died, which I think was 

 in 1762. He had two children: the Rev. Hum- 

 phrey Primatt, D.D., who died 1774, without 

 issue ; and William, buried at Shenley, Bucks, 

 July 3, 1771, aged thirty-seven, having married 

 Charlotte, one of the daughters of the Rev. Ma- 

 thew Knapp of Shenley. There was no issue of 

 this marriage. The Rev. Wm. Primatt, rector of 

 West Walton, married Mary, daughter of Off- 

 spring Blackall, Bishop of Exeter. If this is the 

 person of whom inquiry is made, I can give far- 

 ther information as to his father, grandfather, and 

 great-grandfather. T. P.

Ignez de Castro (2"'^ S. iv. 287. 399. 461.)— 

 There is yet another author who has taken Ignez 

 for the theme of his tragedy — La Motto, whose 

 Inez de Castro was parodied by Legrand, the 

 French author and dramatist (celebrated for his 

 ugliness) under the name of Agnes de Chaillot.
