NOTES AND QUERIES.

which is probably a mistake. It bears the follow- 

 ing inscription : 



" This is drawn from the painting in the hands of 

 Mr. Justice Newton of the Middle Temple." 



Can any one inform me when this learned jus- 

 tice lived; or rather, for it concerns me more, 

 when he died ? And farther, if it be not too 

 hopeless an inquiry to m.ake, who his existing 

 representatives (if any) may be ? 



F. Ktffin Lenthali,. 



36. Mount Street, Grosvenor Square. 



Mufti. — I hear military men employ this term, 

 "we went in mufti:" meaning, out of uniform. 

 Whence is it derived ? Maria. 



Hyming and Cuculling. — In that very curious 

 volume of extracts from The Presbytery Book of 

 Strathbogie, a.d. 1631-54, which was printed for 

 the Spalding Club in 1843, occurs the following 

 passage : 



" Georjre Jinkin and John Christie referred from the 

 Session of Abercherder, for ryming and cuculling, called, 

 compeird not. Ordained to be summonded pro 2°." 

 — P. 242. 



Accordingly, on — 



" The said day, George .Tinkin in Abercherder, being 

 summonded for his ryming and cuculling, being called, 

 compeired ; and being accused of the foiesaid fault, 

 confessed he only spoke three words of that ryme. 

 Being sharpely rebuked, and instructed of the grosnes 

 of that sin, was ordained to satisfie in sackcloth, which 

 he promised to do." — P. 245. 



What was the " fault" here alluded to, and 

 visited with a species of discipline with which the 

 presbytery, and those under its jurisdiction, ap- 

 pear to have been very familiar ? D. 



Custom at the Savoy Church. — At the Savoy 

 Church (London), the Sunday following Christmas 

 Day, there was a chair placed near the door, 

 covered with a cloth : on the chair was an orange, 

 in a plate. 



Can any of the readers of " N. & Q." inform me 

 the meaning of this ? Cekidwbn. 



Faithfull Teate. — I lately fell in with a small 

 work by this divine, entitled Ter Tria, and on the 

 fly-leaf is a MS. note, stating that some years ago 

 a copy of the same book was priced, in a bookseller's 

 catalogue in London, at IZ. 7*. 6d. I wish to learn 

 some particulars relative to the author, and if the 

 work is valuable, or scarce, or both. J. S. 



[Neither Calamy nor Brook has furnished any bio- 

 graphical notices of Dr. Faithfull Teate. When he 

 wrote Ter Tria, in 1658, he was a " Preacher of the 

 • Word at Sudbury in Suffolk." A second edition of 



it was published in 1669. In 1665 appeared his Scrip- 

 ture Map of the Wildernesse of Sin," 4to. In a dis- 

 course on Bight Thoughts, the Righteous Man's Evi- 

 dence, he has the following passage, accommodated to 

 his own destitute state after his ejectment : " The 

 righteous man, in thinking of his present condition of 

 life, thinks it his relief, that the less money he has he 

 may go the more upon trust ; the less he finds in his 

 purse, seeks the more in the promise of Him that has 

 said, ' I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee ; ' so 

 that he thinks no man can take away his livelihood, 

 unless he can first take away God's truth." Lowndes 

 has given the following prices of Ter Tria : Sir M. M. 

 Sykes, part iii. 626., 5s.; Nassau, part ii. 682., 8s.; 

 White Knights, 4068., 1/.; Bibl. Ang. Poet., 764.,

Kelway Family. — Can any of the readers of 

 " N. & Q." guide me to anything like a pedigree 

 of the family of Kelloivay, Kaloway, or Kelway ; 

 which I find from Lysons' Devonshire possessed 

 the manor of Mokesbean in that county from the 

 time of Henry II. ? 



In the first year of Edward III., when the pro- 

 perty of those who suffered after the battle of 

 Boroughbridge was restored, John de Keilewaye 

 was found " haeres de integro sanguine" to Lord 

 Gilford of Brimesfield. 



The last of the family appears to have been 

 .John Kelloway of Collampton in Devon, who 

 married Joan Tregarthian ; and dying in 1530, 

 left co-heiresses married to Greville of Penheale, 

 Codrington of Codrington, Harwood, and Cooke. 



The arms of the family are singular, being 

 Argent within a bordure engrailed sable, two gro- 

 ving irons in saltire sable, between four pears Or. 



R. H. C. 



[The pedigree of this family will be found in two 

 copies by Munday of the " Visitation of Devonshire," 

 A.D. 1564, in the Harleian MSS. 1091. p. 90., and 

 15.38, p. 2166. Tiie only difference in the arms is, in 

 both copies, that there is no hordure engrailed ; but this 

 has probably been added since as a difference, as was 

 often done to distinguish families. The name is here 

 spelt Kelloway, and tlie pedigree begins with "Thomas 

 Kelloway of Stowford in county Devon, who married 



Anne, daughter of Copleston, of' , in county 



Somerset," and ends with '* John Kelloway, who mar- 

 ried Margery, daughter of John Arscott of Duns- 



land, and left issue Robert, who married , and 



Richard."] 



Regatta. — What is the etymology of the word 

 regatta? From whence is it derived, and when 

 was it first used in English to mean a boat-race ? 



C. B. N. C. J. S. 



[Barettl says, " Regatta, palio che si corre suir acqua; 

 a race run on water in boats. The word I take to be cor- 

 rupted from Remigata, the art of rowing." Florio, in his 

 IVorlde of Wordes, has " Regattare, Ital. to wrangle, to 

 cope or fight for the mastery." The term, as denoting 

 a showy species of boat-race, was first used in thi$
