NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 1! 



ing collection of Breton ballads, Barzas-Breiz, 

 vol. i. p. 35., has the following passage: 



" Les tailleurs, cette classe vouee au ridicule, en 

 Bretagne, comme dans le pays de Galles, en Irlande, en 

 Ecosse, en Allemagne et ailleurs, et qui I'etait jadis 

 chez toutes les nations guerrieres, dont la vie agitee et 

 errante s'accordait mal avec une existence casaniere et 

 paisible. Le peuple dit encore de nos jours en Bre- 

 tagne, qu'il faut neuf taileurs pour faire un homme, et 

 jamais il ne prononce leur nom, sans oter son chapeau, 

 et sans dire : ' Sauf votre respect.' " 



The saying is current also in Normandy, at least 

 in those parts which border on Britany. Perhaps 

 some of the readers of " N. & Q." may be able to 

 say whether it is to be found in other parts of 

 Europe. Honobe de Mabeville.

" Time and I" (Vol. vii., pp. 182. 247.). — Ar- 

 buthnot calls it a Spanish proverb. In the His- 

 tory of John Bull, we read among the titles of 

 otlier imaginary chapters in the " Postscript," that 

 of— 



" Ch. XVI. Commentary upon the Spanish Pro- 

 verb, Time and I against any Two ; or Advice to 

 Dogmatical Politicians, exemplified in some New 

 Affairs between John Bull and Lewis Baboon.'"

Carr Pedigree (Vol. vii., pp. 408. 512.). — W. 

 St. says that William Carr married Elizabeth, 

 daughter of Edward Sing, Bishop of Cork. The 

 name is Synge, not Sing. The family name was 

 originally Millington, and was changed to Synge 

 by Henry VIII. or Queen Elizabeth, on account 

 of the sweetness of the voice of one of the family, 

 who was a clergyman, and the ancestor of George 

 Synge, Bishop of Cloyne ; Edward Synge, Bishop 

 of Ross ; Edward Synge, Archbishop of Tuam ; 

 Edward Synge, Bishop of Leijihlin and Ferns ; 

 Nicholas Synge, Bishop of Killaloe ; the late Sir 

 Samuel Synge Hutchinson, Archdeacon of Killala; 

 and of the present Sir Edward Synge. 



I cannot find that any of these church dignitaries 

 had a daughter married to Wm. Carr. Nicholas 

 Synge, Bishop of Killaloe, left a daughter, Eliza- 

 beth, who died unmarried in 1834, aged ninety- 

 nine ; but I cannot discover that either of tJae 

 other bishops of that family had a daughter Eliza- 

 beth. GULIELMUS. 



Campvere, Privileges of (Vol. vii., pp. 262. 440.). 

 — What were these privileges, and whence was 

 the term derived ? 



" Veria, quje et Canfera, vel Campoveria potius dici- 

 tur, alterum est inter oppida hujiis insuUe, muro et 

 mojnibiis clausa, situ quidem ad aquilonem obversa, ct 

 in ipso oceani littore : fossam habet, quas Middelbur- 



gum usque extenditur, a qua urbe \eucas tantum unius, 

 etc. 



" Estque oppidulum satis concinnum, et mercimoniis 

 florens, maxime propter commercia navium Scoticarumf 

 quae^ in isto potissimum portu stare adsueverunt. 



" Scotorum denique, superioribus annis, frequenta^ 

 tione Celebris et Scoticarum mercium, prfecipue vel- 

 lerura ovillorum, stapula, ut vocant, et emporium esse 

 coepit." — L. Guicciardini, Belgium (1646), vol. iL 

 pp. 67, 68. 



Will J. D. S. be so good as to say where he 

 found the "Carapvere privileges" referred to? E. 



Haulf-naked (Vol. vii., p. 432.). — The conjec- 

 ture that Half-naked was a manor in co. Sussex 

 is verified by entries in Cal. Rot. Pat., 11 Edw. I., 

 m. 15. ; and 13Edw. I., m. 18. Also in Ahhre- 

 viatio Rot. Orig., 21 Edw. III., Rot. 21.; in which 

 latter it is spelt HalnaJied. J. W. S. R.

Old Picture of the Spanish Armada (Vol. vii.^ 

 p. 454.). — Although perhaps this may not be 

 reckoned an answer to J. S. A.'s Query on this 

 head, I have to inform you that in the steeple pai't 

 of Gaywood Church near this town, is a fine old 

 painting of Queen Elizabeth reviewing the forces 

 at Tilbury Fort, and the Spanish fleet in the dis- 

 tance. It is framed, and sadly wants cleaning.

Parochial Libraries (Vol. vi., p. 432., &c.). — We 

 have in St. Margaret's parish a parochial library, 

 which is kept in a room fitted up near the vestry 

 of the church in this town. J. N. C 



King's Lynn. 



To the list of places where there are parochial 

 libraries may be added Bevvdley, in Worcester- 

 shire. There is a small library in the Grammar 

 School of that place, consisting, if I recollect aright, 

 mainly of old divinity, under the care of the mas- 

 ter : though it is true, for some years, there has 

 been no master. S. S. S. 



In the preface to the Life of Lord Keeper Guil- 

 ford, by Roger North, it appears that Dudleya, 

 youngest daughter of Charles, and granddaughter 

 of Dudley Lord North, dying, — 

 " Her library, consisting of a choice collection of Ori- 

 ental books, by the present Lord North and Grey, her 

 only surviving brother, was given to the parochial 

 library of Ilougham in Norfolk, where it now re- 

 mains," 



This library then existed in 1742, the date of the 

 first edition of the work. FuRVUs.
