TEACHING A DOG FRENCH. 



" N. & Q." the other clay (Vol. viii., p. 464.) 

 contained a curious tale of a cat : will you insert 

 as a pendent the following one of a dog ? The 

 supposition that D. Julio was some obnoxious 

 Frenchman protected by the Government, seems 

 necessary to account for the " teachyng a dogg 

 frenche" in front of his door constituting such a 

 dire offence. His name occurs, if I remember 

 rightly, in Dr. Dee's Dia7-y (Cam. Soc), but I have 

 not the book at hand to refer to. Perhaps some 

 of your correspondents may inform me who he 

 was. The orij>inal is in the Lansdowne MS. 

 (114. No. 8.) in the British Museum; and the 

 fact of its being amongst Lord Burleigh's papers 

 shows that the occurrence took place between 1571 

 and 1598, the respective dates of his appointment 

 as " 1 tresurer" and his death. Arthur Paget. 



" D. Julio'x Abstract of the Deponicons of ye witnesses 

 sworne touching ye speches of John Paget. 



" To proue that one William (sic) Paget, on the 

 v"" day of this present moneth, being Fryday, be- 

 twixt vui and ix of the clocke at nyght, went vp 

 and down teachyng a dogg frenche. 



" 1. M"' Karler, a jentil woman borne, sayeth, that 

 about the same tym, she did hear the said Paget, that 

 he wolil teache his dogg to speak frenche. 



«'2. M"' Anne Coot, a jentilwoman, affirmeth the 

 same. 



" 3. One William Poyser, yeoman, sayeth, that he 

 harde Paget saye tliat he wold make his dogg speake 

 as good frenciie as any oF them. 



"4. Junes Hudson sayeth, that standing at his 

 maisters doore he did hear Paget speake to his dogg 

 in a straunge language, but what language he knew 

 not. 



" 5. Edward, a grosser, is to be dejiosed that he 

 harde i*aget say, I will teache my dogg to speake 

 frenche, and was talking with his dogg in frenche. 



" To prone that tlie sayd Paget did say, Shortlye will 

 come viito the realme frenche dogges, 1 hope I shall 

 see thaine all rootled out. 



" 1. M''' Karter sayeth, she harde Paget say, 

 Shortlie wil come vnto the realme frenche dogges, I 

 hope 1 shall see thame all rootted out.
