THE NAME MARTEL, 
I must confess that the article in No. 6. p. 86., 
which deprived Charles Martel of his long-pos- 
sessed distinction of “the hammerer” gave me 
but little satisfaction. It was one of those old 
associations that one does not like to have de- 
stroyed. I could not, however, contradict your 
correspondents ; and remained that very uncom- 
fortable person, “a man convinced against his 
will.” On turning over my Ménagiana, yesterday, 
I stumbled upon the name “ Martel,” and, as the 
passage combines both your elements (being a good 
note, and producing a query) I beg leave to offer 
it to you. 
“Dans le 11™© siécle les procés se faisaient aux 
vassaux par leurs Pairs, c’est a-dire, par leurs con- 
vassaux, et toute sorte de proces se font encore présen- 
tement en Angleterre a toutes sortes d’accusés par leurs 
Pairs, c’est-A-dire, par des personnes de leur méme 
état et de leur méme condition, a la réserve des Bour- 
reaux et des Bouchers, qui, 4 cause de Jeur cruauté, 
ne sont point juges. Géoffroi Murtel, Comte d’ Anjou, 
fit faire ainsi le procés a Guérin de Craon, qu'il avait 
fait foi et hommage de la Baronnie de Craon a Conan, 
due de Bretagne. Géoffroi fit assembler ses Barons, 
qui, selon l’ancienne forme observée en maticre féodale, 
firent le procés 4 Guérin, son vassal, et le condam- 
nérent, quoiqu’il fat absent. — Et il est 4 remarquer 
a ce propos, que le Pape Innocent ITI., qui favourisait 
Jean sans- Terre, parcequ’en 1213 il avait soumis son 
royaume d’Angleterre au Saint Siége, au devoir de 
mille mares d'argent par an, ayant allegué aux Am- 
bassadeurs de Philippe Auguste que Jean sans- Terre 
avait été condamné absent, et que les Joix défendent 
de condamner les accusés sans les ouir; ils lui répon- 
dirent que l’usage du Royaume de France était de 
condamner les absents, aussi bien que les présents, 
lorsqwils avaient été deuément cités en jugement. 
Chez les Romains il n’était par permis de condamner 
les absents: Non licet civem inuuditum damnare.” 
Now, Sir, this passage shows “ Martel,” as a 
name, like that of “‘sans-Terre,” bestowed for some 
quality or circumstance attached to the bearer ;— 
and I should like to ask your correspondents if 
they know how this Comte d’Anjou became en- 
titled to it? He appears, from the date, to be the 
same Geoffrey who is the ancestor of our Plan- 
tagenets, as the Comte d’Anjou, contemporary 
with William the Conqueror, was named Fulk. 
If it can be proved that this Count received this 
addition from his martial prowess, I shall be 
strongly tempted to return to my creed regarding 
Charles Martel. W. Rosson. 
QUERIES AS TO JUNIUS. 
Amongst the letters attributed to Junius, and, 
in the opinion of Dr. Good, most certainly his 
production, is one signed “ Arricus,” under date 
of the 19th Aug. 1768, which contains an allusion 
to the private affairs of the writer, by no means 
unimportant. It is as follows : — 
“ The greatest part of my property having been in- 
vested in the funds, I could not help paying some 
attention to rumours or events, by which my fortune 
might be affected: yet I never lay in wait to take 
advantage of a sudden fluctuation, much less would I 
make myself a bubble to bulls and bears, or a dupe to 
the pernicious arts practised in the Alley. I thought 
a prudent man, who had any thing to lose, and really 
meant to do the best for himself and his family, ought 
to consider of the state of things at large, of the pros- 
pect before him, and the probability of public events. 
A letter which appeared some days ago in the Public 
Aivertizer revived many serious reflections of this sort 
in my mind, because it seemed to be written with 
eandour and judgment. The effect of those reflections 
was, that I did not hesitate to alter the situation of my 
property. 
“IT owe my thanks to that writer that I am safely
