NOTES AND QUERIES.

Noli me tangere (Vol. \]., p. 153.)- — In addi- 

 tion to the list of artists given by J. Z. P. (p. 253.), 

 BR. will find tluit the subject has also been 

 treated by — 



Duccio, in tlie Duomo at Siena. 



Taddeo Gaddi, Kinnucini Chapel. 



Titian, Mr. Roger's Collection, 



Rembrandt, Queen's Gallery. 



Barroccio. An altar piece which came to Eng- 

 land with the Duke of Lucca's paintings, but I 

 cannot say where it is now : it is well known by 

 the engraving from it of Raphael Morgen. 



Chimneij Money (Vol. ii., pp. 120. 174. 269. 

 344.). — There is a church at Northampton upon 

 which is an inscription recording that the expense 

 of repairing it was defrayed by a grant of chimney 

 money for, I believe, seven years, temp. Charles II. 

 There is also a tombstone in Folkestone church- 

 yard curiously commemorative of this tax. The 

 inscription runs thus — 



" In memory of 

 Rebecca Rogers, 

 who died August 22. 1688, 

 Aged 44 years. 

 A house she liath, it's made of such good fashion. 

 The tenant ne'er shall pay for reparation, 

 Kor will her landlord ever raise lier rent. 

 Or turn her out of doors for non-payment ; 

 From chimney money, too, this cell is free, 

 To such a house, who would not tenant be."

Pasunge from Burke (Vol. ii., p. 359.). — Q. (2) 

 will find the passage he refers to in Prior's Life of 

 Burke, vol. i. p. 39. It is extracted from a letter 

 addressed by Burke to his old schoolfellow Mat- 

 thew Smith, describing his first impressions on 

 viewing \Vestminster ,\.bbey, and other objects in 

 the metropolis. Jlr. Prior deserves our best 

 thanks for giving us a letter so deeply interesting, 

 and so characteristic of the gifted writer, then 

 barely of age. I. II. M.

Nicholrts Asshelons Journal (Vol. ii., pp. 33 1-2.). 

 — If T. T. Wii.KiNSON will turn to p]). 45, G, 7, of 

 this very amusing journal, published by the 

 Chetham Society (vol. xiv., 1848), he will find 

 some account of the Revels introduced before 

 James the First at Iloghlon Towei-, in the copious 

 notes of the editor, the Rev. F. R. Raines, ^I.A., 

 F.S.A., eluciilating tlie origin and history of these 

 " coarse and indecorous " dances — the JLw/der, 

 Tom Bcdlo, and the Cowp Justice of Peace.

Manchester. 



Scotch rri>iomr.i, 1C51 (Vol. ii., pp. 297. 350.).— 

 Heath's Chronicle (p. 301. edit. H)7(!) briefly no- 

 tices these uiihap])y men, " driven like a herd of 

 Bwine, througli Westminster to Tuthill Fields, and 



there sold to several merchants, and sent in to the 

 Barbadoes." 



The most graphic account, however, is given in 

 Another Victory in Lancashire, &c., 4to. 1651, from 

 which the parts possessing local interest were ex- 

 tracted by me in the Civil War Tracts of Lanca- 

 shire, printed by the Chetham Society, with re- 

 ferences to the other matters noticed, namely, 

 Cromwell's entry into London, and the arrival of 

 the fijur thousand '■''Scots, Highlands, or Redshanks." 



These lay on Hampstead Heath, and were 

 thence guarded through Highgate, and behind Is- 

 lington to Kingsland and Mile End Green, receiv- 

 ing charity as they went, and having " a cart load 

 or two of biskett behind them." Thence they 

 proceeded by Aldgate, through Cheapside, Fleet- 

 street, and the Strand, and on through West- 

 minster. 



" Many of them brought their wives and herns in 

 witli them, yet were many of our scotlliecl citizens so 

 pitiful! unto them, that as they passed through the 

 city, they made them, though prisoners at mercy, 

 masters of more money and good white bread than 

 some of them ever see in their lives. Tliey marclied 

 this night [S.-.turday, Sept. 13.] into Tuttle Fields. 

 Some Irishmen are among them, but most of them are 

 habited after that fashion." 



The contemporary journals in the British Mu- 

 seum would probatily state some epidemic which 

 may have caused the mortality that followed.

Sedbury Park, Chepstow. 



Long Friday (Vol. ii., p. 323.}. — T. E. L. L. is 

 not correct in his supposition that "Long Friday" 

 is the same as " Great Friday." In Danish, Good 

 Friday is Langfredag; in Swedish, Liingfredag. I 

 have alwavs understood the epithet had reference 

 to the length of the services. 



Coll. Rotal Soc, 



The Bradshaw Famihj (Vol. ii., p. 356.).— The 

 president of the pretended high court of justice, a 

 Cheshire man, had no connexion with Ilaigh Hull, 

 in Lancashire. E. C. G. may satisfy himself by 

 referring to Mr. Ormerod's History of Cheshire 

 (vol. iii. p. 408.) for some valuable information 

 respecting the regicide and his i'amily, and to 

 AVotton's Baronetage (vol. iii. P. 2. ]). 655.) for 

 the descent of the h)yal race of Bradsliaigh.

Jidin, the drowned City (Vol. ii., pj). 230. 282.). 

 — I am sorry I did not state more clearly the in- 

 rpiiry respecting the fate o'i Julin, which Dr. Bell 

 has been so good as to notice. This is partly the 

 printer's fault. I spoke of the drowned, not the 

 doomed city. 



The drowning was what I desired some account 

 of. "A flourishing emporium of conuncrce," ex-
