NOTES AND QUERIES.

next." Another holds a paper, inscribed " 10,000?. 

 for it." In the other group, two noblemen are 

 promising to different bishops. Another bishop is 

 lighting his way through boatmen ; and two per- 

 sons are running forward as candidates for an arch- 

 deaconry or dean of arches. Underneath are two 

 lines : 



*' Sculls, sculls to Lambeth ! see bow bard they pull 

 'em ! 

 But sure the Temple's nearer much than Fulham." 



Temple alluding to Sherlock, Fulham to Gibson. 



Underneath this print, some one, perhaps Horace 

 Walpole, mistaking the date and the subject, has 

 written : 



" The man whose place they thought to take 

 Is still alive, and still aWake." 



There is still another print entitled " Lambeth," 

 where three bishops are rowing from Lambeth, 

 with the word "Disappointed" under them. A 

 fourth is rowed towards Lambeth by a waterman, 

 who exclaims " Your 're aU Bob'd ! "

Chichester Pallant (Vol. vii., p. 206.).— Chiches- 

 ter, I need not say, is of Roman foundation, and 

 has several marks of its Roman origin ; the little 

 stream that runs through it is called the Lavant, 

 evidently from lavando. The Pallant, the chief 

 quarter of the town, and, of old, a separate juris- 

 diction, was called " Palatinus sive Palenta." " Pa- 

 lantia, Palatinatus," says Ducange, "jurisdictio ejus 

 qui habet jus lites decidendi supremo jure." The 

 Pallant of Chichester is not to be confounded with 

 the Bishop's Palace. It is in a different district, 

 and was, no doubt, from Roman times, a separate 

 palatine jurisdiction. C. 



Scarfs worn hy Clergymen (Vol. vii., pp. 143. 

 215.). — As Mr. Jebb has intervened voluntarily 

 in this question, not merely as an inquirer or rea- 

 soner, but as an evidence to facts, I hope I may be 

 allowed to ask him his authority for the distinc- 

 tion " between broad and narrow scarfs." After 

 this assertion as to the fact, he adds his own per- 

 sonal authority of having " in his boyhood heard 

 mention made of that distinction." As I do not 

 know his age, I would beg to ask when and where 

 he heard that mention ; and to make my inquiry 

 more clear, I would ask whether he has any (and 

 what) authority for the fact of the distinction 

 beyond having " in his boyhood heard mention of 

 it?" We must get at the facts before we can 

 reason on them. C. 



Alicia Lady Lisle (Vol. vii., p. 236.).— The lady 

 referred to was Alice, or Alicia, daughter and 

 coheir of Sir White Beconsawe : she was be- 

 headed at Winchester, 1685. The jury by whom 

 she was tried had, it is stated, thrice acquitted 

 her; but the judge, that disgrace to human nature, 



Jefferies, insisted upon a conviction. Her husband 

 was John Lisle the regicide, a severe republican, 

 and one of the Protector's lords. An account of 

 the family will be found in Curious Memoirs of 

 the Protectorate House of Cromwell, vol. i. p. 273. 



The family of the present Lord Lisle, whose 

 family name is Lysaght, and elevated to the 

 peerage of Ireland in 1758, has nothing to do 

 with that of the republican court. 



Respecting the old baronies of Lisle, full ac- 

 counts will be found in the admirable report of 

 the claim to that barony by Sir Harris Nicolas, 

 one of the counsel for the claimant, Sir John 

 Shelley Sidney: 8vo. Lond. 1829. G. 



Major- General Lambert (Vol. vii., p. 237.). — 

 Major- General Lambert appears, from a meagre 

 memoir of him given in the History of Malham 

 in Yorkshire, by Thomas Hursley : 8vo. 1786, 

 to have descended from a very ancient family 

 in that county. According to the register of 

 Kirkby Malhamdale, he was born at Calton Hall, 

 in that parish, 7th of September, 1619, and lost his 

 father at the age of thirteen. On the 10th of 

 September, 1639, he married Frances, daughter of 

 his neighbour Sir William Lister, of Thornton, in 

 Craven, then in her seventeenth year, and said to 

 have been a most elegant and accomplished lady. 

 Nothing seems to be known as to the precise time 

 or place of the death of Lambert or his wife, be- 

 yond the tradition of his having been imprisoned 

 in Cornet Castle, in the island of Guernsey, after 

 the Restoration, and that he remained in confine- 

 ment thirty years. His marriage is confirmed in 

 the account of Lord Ribblesdale's family in Collins' 

 Peerage, vol. viii. edition Brydges. John Lam- 

 bert, son and heir of the major-general, married 

 Barbara, daughter of Thomas Lister, of Arnolds- 

 bigging, and had by her three sons, who all died 

 V. p., and one daughter, who was the wife of 

 Sir John Middleton, of Belsay Castle, in Northum- 

 berland, and became the heir-general of her family. 

 Pepys speaks of Lady Lambert in 1668. 



Perhaps these very imperfect notices may "elicit 

 further information, — on which account only can 

 they be worthy of a place in "N. & Q."

Mistletoe (Vol. iii., pp. 192. 396.).— In addition 

 to the trees, on which the mistletoe grows, men- 

 tioned by "the late learned Mr. Ray" in the 

 quotation cited by Dr. Wilbraham Falconer, I 

 subjoin others named in Jesse's Country Life, 

 some of which I have had opportunities of verify- 

 ing : viz., horse-chestnut ; maple {Acer opalus, 

 A. ruhrum, A. campestre) ; poplar (Populus alba, 

 P. nigra, P. fastigiata) ; acacia, laburnum, pear; 

 large-leaved sallow {Salix caprea) ; locust tree 

 {Rohinia pseudo- acacia) ; larch, Scotch fir, spruce 

 fir ; service tree {Pyrus domestica) ; hornbeam
