NOTES AND QUERIES. 



Ill 



palpable, from the context, that the *' Mr. Justice 

 Newton" he inquired after could not possibly be 

 the Chief Justice who flourished in the fifteenth 

 century; and because I am not aware of any 

 judge of the superior courts of that name, during 

 the time of the Commonwealth, or the years which 

 immediately preceded or followed that period. 

 Indeed, his designation as " Mr. Justice Newton, 

 of the Middle Temple" plainly proves that he 

 could not have been a judge upon the Bench at 

 Westminster. He may perhaps have been a AVelsh 

 judge; or, remembering that "Mr. Justice" was 

 the common title for a Justice of the Peace, it is 

 still more probable that he was merely a magis- 

 trate of the county in which he resided.

Manners of the Irish (Vol. viii., p. 5.). — In the 

 very curious extract given by your correspondent 

 H., boyranne is very likely to stand for horbhan, 

 the Irish for " lamentation " or " complaint." An 

 Irish landlord knows full well that, even up to the 

 present day, his tenants " keep the bread, and 

 make borbhan." Molchan, I suspect, comes from 

 miolc, whey. Localran stands for loisgrean, corn 

 turned out of the ear. As to the concluding line 

 of the extract, I must leave it to some better Irish 

 scholar than I can boast myself. 



" I am the geyest mayed of all that brought the somer 

 houme," 



plainly has reference to the old practice, still pre- 

 valent in some parts of Ireland on May-day, when 

 young girls carry about a figure dressed as a baby, 

 singing the Irish song, ciijAnMjt fen; ^n fATt^fiA 

 It)I', "We have brought the summer with xis" 

 (See Transactions of the Kilkenny Archceological 

 Society). Ultagh (JJltach) is Irish for an Ulster 

 man, as H. will see by consulting any Irish dic- 

 tionary, and can have no connexion with Utlagh, 

 the Kilkenny money-lender. Ugteller is of course 

 a misprint for Kyteller. Would that H. would 

 give us his real name and address, or at least allow 

 me to ask whether H. F. H. do not constitute his 

 initials in full. James Graves.

Arms of the See of York (Vol. viii., p. 34.). — 

 I was about to send a note to " N. & Q.," pointing 

 out that Mr. Knight, in his heraldic illustrations 

 to 2 Hen. IV., in his Pictorial Edition of Shah- 

 speare, has given the modern bearings of the see 

 of York to Archbishop Scroope, instead of those 

 which belonged to that date, when I observed a 

 Query from Tee Bee, asking the date and origin 

 of the change of arms which took place. I am sorry 

 that I am unable to give any authority for my state- 

 ment, but I believe it to be not the less true, that 

 the change in question took place when Cardinal 

 Wolsey came to the see. Nor can I give any 



farther reason for that change than the notorious 

 jealousy of the Cardinal towards the superior 

 rank of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Up to 

 this period the arms of the two sees were precisely 

 the same, though Tee Bee gives the number of 

 crosses " patee fitchee " on the pall for difference ; 

 I should be glad to know whether there is good 

 authority for this statement. The present arms of 

 the see evidently have reference to the dedication 

 of the ancient cathedral church to St. Peter.

" Up, Guards, and at 'em!'' (Vol. v., p. 426.). — 

 These oft-quoted words have already engaged the 

 attention of the readers of " N. & Q." Your fre- 

 quent correspondent C. (Vol. v., p. 426.) is of 

 opinion that the Duke did make use of these, or 

 equivalent, words. The following extract I have 

 copied from an article in the June number of 

 Bentleys Miscellany. It will be found at p. 700. 

 as a foot-note to a clever article, one of a series, 

 entitled " Random Recollections of Campaigns 

 under the Duke of Wellington," written by an 

 officer of the second brigade of Guards. 



" The expression attributed to the Duke of ' Up, 

 guards, and at them again ! ' I have good reason for 

 knowing was never made use of by him. He was not 

 even with the brigade of Guards in question at the time 

 they rose from their recumbent position to attack the 

 French column in their front, and therefore could not 

 well have thus addressed them. I never heard this 

 story till long after, on my return to Englaad, when it 

 was related by a lady at a dinner-table ; probably it 

 was the invention of some goodly Botherby. I re- 

 member denying my belief at the time, and my view 

 has since been sufficiently confirmed. Besides, the 

 words bear no internal evidence of the style either of 

 thought or even expression of him to whom they were 

 attributed." 



The invention of the goodly Botherby has pros- 

 pered ! CUTHBERT BeDE, B. A. 



Coleridge's Christabel — The 3rd Part (Vol. viii., 

 pp. 11, 12.). — Mr. J. S. Warden asks if I am 

 correct in stating the 3rd part of Christabel to be 

 the composition of Dr. Maginn. I can but "give 

 my authority " in a reference to a sketch of 

 Maginn's life, in a new and well-conducted peri- 

 odical. The Irish Quarterly Review, which, in the 

 number for September, 1852, after giving a most 

 humorous account of a first interview between 

 Blackwood and his wild Irish contributor, who 

 had for more than a year been mystifying the 

 editor by contributions under various signatures, 

 proceeds thus : — 



" A few days before the first interview with Black- 

 wood, Maginn had sent in his famous ' Third part of 

 Christabel.' It is only to be found in the Magazine ; 

 and as many of our readers must be unacquainted with 

 the poem, we here subjoin it."
