NOTES AND QUERIES.

-called hugga-mahuff; I am not certain that this is 

 the correct spelling of the name, never having seen 

 it either in writing or print. In Leicestershire 

 and Cambridgeshire the name eddish prevails, I am 

 told, and hence eddish cheese, made from the milk 

 of cows which have grazed eddish. Gan any of 

 your correspondents add to the above names, or 

 throw a light upon their origin ? R. W. F. 



Bath. 



The Laird of Brodie. — Can any of your corre- 

 spondents explain what James V. of Scotland 

 means in his celebrated ballad when he says : 



" I thocht you were a gentleman, 

 At least the Laird of Brodie." 



According to the literal meaning, it would seem 

 that the Laird of Brodie was something less than 

 a gentleman ? Could his majesty intend to sa- 

 tirise the alleged royal descent of Brodie from 

 Bruidhle, the son of Billi, king of the Picts (see 

 James' Critical JEssay'), by insinuating that the 

 " Picts " and their descendants were not entitled 

 to be ranked as " Generosi ? " I. H. B. 



Mrs. Tighe, Author of " Psyche." — There is a 

 monument in Inistioge churchyard, co. Kilkenny, 

 to the memory of the authoress of that beautiful 

 poem Psyche, Mrs. Mary Tighe, with a statue of 

 her, said to be by Flaxman, which statement, as to 

 its being from the chisel of that celebrated sculptor, 

 I have seen contradicted. She was the daughter 

 of the Rev. W. Blackford, and married Mr. Henry 

 Tighe of Woodstock, Ireland, in 1793. The in- 

 scription, which, I believe, is in existence, was not 

 added to the monument in 1845. Can any of your 

 correspondents favour me with a copy of it ? and 

 was the statue by Flaxman ? Is there any authentic 

 memoir of this delightful poetess ? When did her 

 husband Mr. Tighe die ? He is said to have sur- 

 vived his lady, who died In 1810, but a short time; 

 and that he was the author of a History of the 

 County of Kilkenny. I believe it was on visiting 

 the churchyard of Inistioge that Mrs. Hemans 

 wrote " The Grave of a Poetess." She is said to 

 have been very beautiful. Is there any other 

 engraved portrait of her in existence beside the 

 one annexed to the several editions of her poems. 

 Any particulars relating to this lady or her hus- 

 band will be esteemed by T. B. Whitborne. 



Bishop Ferrar. — Was the Bishop Ferrar (or 

 Farrar), the martyr who suffered during the reign 

 of Mary, of the same family as Ferrers (or Ferrars) 

 earl of Derby and Nottingham, in the reign of 

 Henry IH. ? A Constant Reader. 



Sir Thomas de Longiieville. — In the year 1753, 

 a Sir I'homas de Longueville, baronet, was a 

 lieutenant in his Majesty's fleet, and his commis- 

 sion bore date 3rd June, 1719. I should be glad 



if any of your correspondents could inform me if 

 he was a descendant of the De Longueville, the 

 second Fides Achates of Scotland's " ill-requited 

 chief." The real Sir Thomas de Longueville 

 reposes in the churchyard of Bourtie, in the county 

 of Aberdeen. Bourtie is a parish fraught with 

 historic recollections. On the hill of Barra, with- 

 in a mile of the parish church, Bruce at once and 

 for ever put a period to the sway and power of the 

 Cuming. I should be glad to learn if any of the 

 descendants of the Lieutenant Longueville still 

 survive, and if he was any descendant of the fa- 

 vorite " De Longueville " of the olden time. 



Abredonensis. 



Quotations loanted. — 



(1.) " Never ending, still beginning." 



(2.) " Chew the bitter cud of disappointment." 



Whence ? C. Mansfield Inglebit. 



Birmingham. 



Symon Patrick, Bishop of Fly — Durham—' 

 Weston — Jephson. — In a small autobiography 

 of Symon Patrick, the bishop's wife is stated to 

 have been Penelope Jephson, grandchild of Lady 

 Durham of Borstall. Can any of your readers 

 inform me who this Lady Durham was ? 



Penelope Jephson was daughter of Sir Corne- 

 lius (?) Jephson, I suppose of Mallow in Ireland. 



One of Bishop Patrick's granddaughters, Pe- 

 nelope, married Edward Weston, Under-Secretary 

 of State, of Corkenhatch (Herts ?). Query, Who 

 was he, and are there any descendants of this 

 marriage ? K. G. 



The Ileveninghams of Suffolk and Norfolk. — 

 This ancient family traces its pedigree through 

 twenty-five knights in succession to Galtir He- 

 veninghame, who lived when Canute was king of 

 England, ann. 1020. (See Harleian MSS. 1449. 

 fol. 91b.; and Southey's Doctor, &c.) 



From one of those knights. Sir John Hevenyng- 

 ham (ob. 1536), descended a collateral branch, 

 represented by Walter Heveningham of Pipe Hall 

 and Aston estates, Staflfordshlre (1562), who mar- 

 ried Annela, daughter of Fitzherbert the Judge. 

 His eldest son was Nicholas, who married Eliza, 

 daughter of Sir John Beevor ; and the eldest son 

 of the last-named was Sir Walter Heveningham. 

 (1612, ob. 1691). 



Now I should feel greatly obliged to any of 

 your readers if, from any of the published or 

 written documents relating to the county of 

 Stafford, or from any other source, they could 

 favour me with answers to the following Queries : 



1. Whom did Sir Walter Heveningham marry ? 

 His second son married the widow of Sir Edward 

 Simeon, Bart. ; but 



2. What was the name of Sir Walter's eldest 

 son, and whom did he marry ? The issue of this
