NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 182. 



other articles, and -which were afterwards fre- 

 quently presented to sovereigns and potentates as 

 tokens of friendship and amity ? G. 



West, Kipling, and Millbourne, — In 1752 there 

 ■was a firm of West and Kipling in Holborn : the 

 Christian name of West was Thomas ; and there is 

 reason to believe that he had two sons, Francis 

 and Thomas. A George Millbourne, Esq., of 

 Spring Gardens, married a cousin of Thomas 

 West, the partner of Kipling : these facts are re- 

 ferred to in the will of a lady proved a.d. 1764. 

 Can any reader of "N. & Q." furnish me with 

 materials or references from which I may gather 

 information of these families of West and Mill- 

 bourne? The smallest contribution will be 

 thankfully received by F. S. 



Font Inscriptions. — I would request the favour 

 of any such of ancient date. A collection of them 

 would be interesting. I can give three. 



At Lullington, Somerset, on a Norman font, in 

 characters of that date : 



" In hoc Fontu sacro pereunt delicta lavacro." 

 At Bourn, Lincoln : 



" Sup ome nom JE f^ C est nom qde." 

 At Melton Mowbray : 



" Sancta Trinitas misere nobis."

Welsh Genealogical Queries. — Can John ap Wil- 

 MAM AP John (Vol. vii., p. 292.), or some other

 sonages were, or where a pedigree of them is to be 

 found :

The Butler and his Man William. — These mytho- 

 logical personages, the grotesque creation of Mr. 

 Grosvenor Bedford's fertile imagination, are fre- 

 quently referred to and dilated on in the letters 

 addressed to him by Southey (Life of Southey, 

 by his Son, vol. ii. p. 335., &c.), when urging- 

 Ml". Bedford to write a Pantagruelian romance on 

 their lives and adventures, which however was 

 never accomplished. What therefore is the mean- 

 ing of the following paragraph, which appears at 

 the conclusion of the review of volume ii. of 

 Southey's Life, contained in the Gent's Mag.. 

 for April, 1850, p. 359.? 



" We will only add, that with respect to the Butler 

 mentioned at p. 335., the editor seems but imperfectly- 

 informed. His portrait, and that of his man William^ 

 are now hanging on the walls of our study. His Life, 

 is on our table. He himself has long shice returned, 

 to the ' august abode ' from which he came."

Longlns Portraits of Guidiccioni. — The Counfc 

 Alessandro Cappi of Ravenna is about to publish 

 an elaborate life of his fellow-townsman Luca 

 Longhi, with very copious illustrations from that; 

 painter's works. 



He has ransacked Italy in vain for a portrait of 

 Monsignor Giovanni Guidiccioni, President of 

 Romagna, painted by Luca Longhi in 1540. This 

 portrait possesses more than ordinary interest, 

 since (to use the words of Armenini, author of 

 Veri Precetti delta Pittura) " fu predicato per 

 maraviglioso in Roma da Michelangelo Buonar- 

 rotti." Count Cappi, supposing that the picture 

 may have found its way to England, hopes by the- 

 publication of this notice to discover its where- 

 abouts. Any correspondent who shall be kind 

 enough to furnish him, through this journal, with 

 the desired information, may be assured of his 

 " pill vera riconoscenza." W. G. C» 



Sir George Carr. — Wanted, pedigree and arms^ 

 wife's name and family, of Sir George Carr, who- 

 was joint clerk of the council of Munster from 

 1620 to 1663, or thereabouts. Sir George had 

 two sons at least, William and Thomas ; William 

 was alive in 1673. Whom did he marry, and what 

 family had he ? Y. S. M. 



Dublin. 



DeaJi Pratt. — Dr. Hesset will feel obliged to 

 any reader of " N. & Q." who can answer the fol- 

 lowing questions. 



At what College of what University did Dr. 

 Samuel Pratt, Dean of Rochester, receive his 

 education, and by whom was he ordained ? 



He was born in 1658, left Merchant Taylors* 

 school (where he passed his early years) in 1677, 

 and was created D.D. by royal mandate, at Cam- 

 bridge, in 1697, but no college is attached to his-
