fflinax t&uzviti. 



Hunter of Polmood in Tweed-dale. — Where can 

 the pedigree of the Hunters of Polmood, in Peeble- 

 shire, be seen ? Hufreer. 



Dinteville Family. — Of the family of Dinteville 

 there were at this time, viz. 1530, two knights of 

 the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. 1st. Pierre 

 de Dinteville, Commander of Troyes, and Senes- 

 chal of his Order ; son of Claude de Dinteville, 

 Seigneur de Polisi and Chevets in Burgundy, and 

 his wife Jeanne de la Beaume, daughter of the 

 Lord of Mont St. Sorlin. The other was nephew 

 to the Pierre above mentioned, son of his younger 

 brother Gaucher, Lord of Polisi, &c. ; and his 

 wife, Anne du Plessis d'Ouschamps. His name 

 was Louis de Dinteville : he was born June 25, 

 1503 ; was Commander of Tupigni and Villedieu, 

 and died at Malta, July 22, 1531 ; leaving a natural 

 son, Maria de Dinteville, Abbe of St. Michael de 

 Tonnerre, who was killed in Paris by a pistol-shot 

 in 1574. The brother of this Chevalier Louis, 

 Jean, Seign. of Polisi, &c, was ambassador in

 letter ? Anon. 



Eastern Practice of Medicine. — I shall feel 

 indebted to any correspondent who will refer me 

 to some works on the theory and practice of medi- 

 cine as pursued by the native practitioners of 

 India and the East generally ? 



C. Clifton Barry. 



Sunday. — When and where does Sunday be- 

 gin or end ? T. T. W. 



Three Picture Queries. — 1 . Kugler (Schools of 

 Painting in Italy, edited by Sir Charles Eastlake, 

 2nd edit., 1851, Part II. p. 284.), speaking of 

 Leonardo da Vinci's cartoon, representing the 

 victory of the Florentines in 1440 over Nicolo 

 Picinnino, general of the Duke of Milan, and 

 which has now perished, says : 



" Rubens copied from Leonardo's, a group of four 

 horsemen fighting for a standard : this is engraved by 

 Edelingk, and is just sufficient to make us bitterly 

 deplore the loss of this rich and grand work." 



Does this picture exist ? Does Edelingk's en- 

 graving state in whose possession it was then ? 



2. Where can I find any account of a painter 

 named St. Denis ? From his name and style, he 



appears to have been French, and to have flou- 

 rished subsequently to 1700. 



3. Titian painted Charles III., Duke of Bour- 

 bon and Constable of France, who was killed 

 May 6, 1527, at the siege of Rome. Where is this 

 picture ? It is said to have been engraved by 

 Norsterman. Where may I see the engraving ? 



Arthur Paget. 



" Cutting off with a Shilling." — This is under- 

 stood to have arisen from the notion that the heir 

 could not be utterly disinherited by will.: that 

 something, however small, must be left him. Had 

 such a notion any foundation in the law of Eng- 

 land at any time ? J. H. Chateau. 



Philadelphia. 



Inman or Ingman Family. — The family of In- 

 man, Ionman, or Ingman, variously spelt, derive 

 from John of Gaunt. This family was settled for 

 five successive generations at Bowthwaite Grange, 

 Netherdale or Nithisdale, co. York, and inter- 

 married with many of the principal families of 

 that period. 



Alfred Inman married Amelia, daughter of 

 Owen Gam. Who was Owen Gam ? 



Arthur Inman married Cecilia, daughter of 

 Llewellyn Clifford. Who was Llewellyn Clifford ? 

 Not mentioned in the Clifford Peerage. Perhaps 

 Mr. Hughes, or some other correspondent of 

 " N. & Q.," may know, and have the kindness to 

 make known his genealogical history. 



This family being strong adherents of the House 

 of Lancaster, raised a troop in the royal cause 

 under the Duke of Newcastle, at the fatal battle 

 of Marston Moor, where several brothers were 

 slain, the rest dispersed, and the property con- 

 fiscated to Cromwell's party about 1650-52. 

 Any genealogical detail from public records prior 

 to that period, would be useful in tracing the 

 descent. 



Sir William de Roas de Ingmanthorpe was 

 summoned to parliament in the reign of Edw. I. 

 This Ingmanthorpe, or Inmanthorpe (spelt both 

 ways), is, according to Thoresby, near Knares- 

 borough on the Nidd. Query, Was this person's 

 name Inman from his residence, as usual at that 

 period ? 



Arms : Vert, on a chevron or, three roses gules, 

 slipped and leaved vert. Crest, on a mount vert, 

 a wyvern ppr. ducally gorged, and lined or. Motto 

 lost. A Subscriber. 



Southsea. 



Constable of Masham. — Alan Bellingham of 

 Levins, in Westmoreland, married Susan, daugh- 

 ter of Marmaduke Constable of Masham, in York- 

 shire, before the year 1624. 



I should be very much obliged to any of your 

 genealogical readers, if they can inform me who 

 was Marmaduke Constable of Masham ; to which
