NOTES AND QUERIES.

Place, on Holborn Hill, reserving to himself and his 

 successors free access, through the gate-house, of walk- 

 ing in the garden, and leave to gather twenty bushels 

 of roses yearly therein ! During the life of Dr. Cox 

 an attempt was made by Elizabeth on some of the best 

 manors belonging to the See of Ely ; but it was not 

 till that of his successor, Dr. Martin Heton, that Dere- 

 ham Grange, with other manors, were alienated to the 

 Crown. See Dugdale's Monastlcon, vol. i. p. 466.] 



Quakers executed in North America. — Were 

 there not several Quakers hanged in North 

 America on account of their religious opinions ? 

 And can you inform me where an account of the 

 circumstances attending this persecution (if there 

 ever was such an one) can be found ? 



Alfred Conder. 



[Three Quakers were executed at Boston in 1659' 

 viz. William Robinson, merchant of London ; Mar- 

 maduke Stevenson of Yorkshire ; and Mary Dyar. 

 An account of the cruelties inflicted upon them is 

 given in Sewell's History of the Quakers, edit. 1725, 

 pp. 219 — 227. ; also in a pamphlet entitled A Declara- 

 tion of the sad and great Persecution and Martyrdom of 

 the People of God, called Quakers, in New England, for 

 the Worshipping of God : London, printed for Robert 

 Wilson, in Martin's-le-Grand, 1661. It will be found 

 among the King's Pamphlets in the British Museum.] 



Inscription in Fulham Church. — I should esteem 

 it a favour if any one of your numerous corre- 

 spondents would furnish me with a correct copy 

 of the inscription to the memory of the son of 

 Colonel Wm. Carlos, who so nobly defended 

 Charles II. at the battle of Worcester. 



J. B. Whitborne. 



[" Here lieth William Carlos of Stafford, who de- 

 parted this life, in the twenty-fifth yeare of his age, the 

 19th day of May, 1668. 



'Tis not bare names that noble fathers give 



To worthy sonnes : though dead, in them they live ; 



For in his progeny, 'tis Heaven's decree, 



Man only can on earth immortall bee : 



But Heaven gives soules w h grace doth sometymes 



bend 

 Early to God their rice and Soveraigne end. 

 Thus, whilst that earth, concern'd, did hope to see 

 Thy noble father living still in thee, 

 Careless of earth, to heaven thou didst aspire, 

 And we on earth, Carlos in thee desire." 



Arms : an oak on a fesse, three regal crowns. ] 



Hero of the " Spanish Lady's Love" — Was Sir 

 John Bolle, of Thorpe Hall, near Louth, the hero 

 of the Spanish Ladys Love ? The Bolle pedigree 

 is in Illingworth's History of Scampton.

[According to Ormerod's Cheshire, vol. iii. p. 333., 

 Sir Urian Legh, of Adlington, disputes the fact of 

 being the hero of that romantic affair. " Sir Urian 

 Legh was knighted by the Earl of Essex at the siege 



of Cadiz, and during that expedition is traditionally said 

 to have been engaged in an adventure which gave rise 

 to the well-known ballad of * The Spanish Lady's 

 Love.' A fine original portrait of Sir Urian, in a 

 Spanish dress, is preserved at Bramall, which has been 

 copied for the family at Adlington." So that between 

 these two chivalrous knights it is difficult to decide 

 which is the famed gallant. From the care exercised 

 by Mr. Illingworth in collecting all the anecdotes and 

 notices of the Bolle family, the presumptive evidence 

 seems to favour his hero.] 



"Bothy." — In the March Number of Black- 

 wood's Magazine, 1854, the word "bothy" is fre- 

 quently used in an article called " News from the 

 Farm." Will some one of your numerous corre- 

 spondents give me a little account of " the bothy 

 system ?" F. M. Middleton. 



[A bothy is a cottage or hut where labouring ser- 

 vants are lodged, and is sometimes built of wood, as 

 we read in the Jacobite Belies, ii. 189.: 



" Fare thee well, my native'cot, 

 Bothy of the birken tree ! 

 Sair the heart, and hard the lot, 

 O' the lad that parts wi' thee." 



Bothies, or detached houses, in which the unmarried 

 farm-servants sleep and prepare their victuals, and of 

 which there is a considerable number in Perthshire, 

 though convenient and beneficial in some respects, have 

 not, certainly, contributed to the formation of virtuous 

 habits. These servants are often migratory, removing 

 frequently at the expiration of the year, according as 

 humour or caprice may dictate, and, like birds of pas- 

 sage, taking their departure to other lands.] 



" Children in the Wood." — Was Weyland Wood 

 in Norfolk the scene of the " Children in the 

 Wood?" S. Z. Z. S. 



[The following account of this tradition is given in 

 Beauties of England and Wales, vol. xi. p. 269., Nor- 

 folk : — " Near the town of Watton is Weyland Wood, 

 vulgarly called Wailing Wood, from a tradition that 

 two infants were basely murdered in it by their uncle; 

 and which furnished the story of a beautifully pathetic 

 and well-known ancient ballad, entitled " The Children 

 in the Wood, or the Norfolk Gentleman's Last Will 

 and Testament," preserved in Percy's Beliques.]

BRYD0NE THE TOURIST. 



(Vol.ix., pp. 138. 255.) 



In reply to H. R. nee F., I beg to state that 

 the writer of the remarks alluded to, on Brydone's 

 Tour in Sicily and Malta, was the Rev. Robert 

 Finch, M.A., formerly of Balliol College in this 

 University, and who died about the year 1830. 

 When I met with Mr. Finch's honest and some- 

 what blunt expression of opinion, recorded in a
