NOTES AND QUERIES.

" On the death of her htisband the Emperor (Lewis of 

 Bavaria), Margaret transferred the government to her 

 son William V. for an annual tribute of .20,000 florins. 

 Her son, however, not being able to pay this sum, ivished 

 to resign the government ; but the towns opposed his 

 doing so. Margaret recalled her abdication, and a civil 

 war ensued. The son's partisans were called Kabeljaau- 

 wen ; the mother's, Hoekschen or Hoeks, and for this 

 reason : William V. was of the House of Bavaria, and his 

 partisans therefore wore the colours of that house — blue, 

 with white or silver checkered in oblique angles. From 

 these scale-formed angles, William's partisans were called 

 Kabeljaauwen ; while the opposite partA' assumed the 

 name of the Hoe.ks, because the cod-fish (^Kaheljaauws) 

 is caught by a hook." — Elbert's Geschiedenis der Vader- 

 lands, p. 24. 



It strikes me that the version . given by the 

 Dutch historian is not only by far the more pro- 

 bable, but the more allied to common sense. It is 

 incredible that a nation should allow itself to be 

 divided by civil war in defence of such an argU' 

 mentum ad absurdum as that vouched for on the 

 authority of the English historian of the Nether- 

 lands. I am by no means deeply read in the 

 history of this remarkable country ; but I have 

 often alluded to the English version of the origin 

 of the two factions in the hearing of eminent 

 Dutch scholars, all of whom impugn its veracitv.

MONUMENTAL BRASSES. 



(7n completion of List at Vol. x., pp. 361. 520.) 



I find that the second part of my communi- 

 cation, containing corrections and additions to 

 Manning's List of Monumental Brasses was, in 

 consequence of some mistake, not inserted ; and 

 as several readers of " N. & Q." have inquired of 

 me the cause of the omission, I again forward it 

 for their satisfaction.

" Oilinsloilins.'" — In Cumberland this puzzling 

 ejaculation is in frequent use amongst the common 

 people; as, for instance, when a ■woman is sending 

 off an unwilling urchin to school, she will say, 

 " Oilins boilins, but thee shall go." A learned 

 gentleman from St. Bees' College explains it to be 

 a corruption of the Latin nolens volens. J. E. J.
