NOTES AND QUERIES. 



141 



collected is recognised by Goddard's brother-in- 

 law, Sir Wni. Dugdale (wlio refers to it in some 

 part of his works), us also by Parkin, in his His- 

 tory of Freebridge and King s Lynn, p. 293., where 

 he is called a curious collector of anticpiities. My 

 Query is. Can any of your correspondents inform 

 me where this collection can be met -with ?

Sir Andrew Chadwick.— It is stated that on the 

 18th Jan. 1709-10, Sir Andrew Chadwick, of St. 

 James's, Westminster, was knighted by Queen 

 Anne for some service done to her, it is sup- 

 posed for rescuing her when thrown from her 

 horse. Can any of your correspondents inform 

 me if such was the fact, and from what source 

 they derive their information ?

Sangaree. — Your periodical having been the 

 means of eliciting some interesting particulars re- 

 specting the origin of the viordi grog, perhaps you 

 will allow me to claim a similar distinction for the 

 word sangaree. You are aware that this word is 

 applied, in the West Indies, to a beverage com- 

 posed of Madeira wine, syrup, water, anil nutmeg. 

 The French call it sangris, in allusion, it is sup- 

 posed, to the colour of the beverage, which when 

 mi.xed has the appearance, as it were, of grey 

 blood (sang gris) : but as there is reason to believe 

 that tlie English were the first to introduce the 

 use of the thing, they having been the first to in- 

 troduce its principal ingredient, Madeira wine, I 

 am disposed to look upon sangaree as the original 

 word, and sa7igris as nothing more than a cor- 

 ruption of it. Can any of your readers (among 

 whom I trust there are many retired West India 

 planters) give the etymology of this word?

King John at Lincoln. — Matthew Paris, under 

 the year 1200, gives an account of King John's 

 visiting Lincoln to meet William, king of Scots, 

 and to receive his homage : 



" Ubi Rex Johannes, [he says] contra consilium 

 multorum, intravit civitatem intrepidus, quod nuUus 

 antecessorum suorum atteiUare ausus fuerat." 



My Query is, What were they afraid of?

Canes lesi. — May I also put a question with 

 respect to an ancient tenure in Dorsetshire, re- 

 corded by Blount, edit. 1G79, p. 46. : 



" Juliana, &c., tcnuit diinldiam liidani terrre, &c., 

 per serjantiam custodii-ndi Canes Doinini Regis lesos, 

 si qui fuerint, quotifscuiique Doininus Rex t'ugaverit 

 in I'oresta sua de Blakemore : et ad dandura unum 

 dciiarluni ad clancturam Parci Domini Regis de 

 Gillinr/ham." 



Blount's explanation of Canes lesos, is "leash 



hounds or park hounds, such as draw after a hurt 

 deer in a leash, or liam : " but is there any reason 

 why we should not adopt the more simple rendering 

 of " hurt hounds ; " and suppose that Dame 

 Juliana was matron of the Royal Dorset Dog 

 Hospital ? 



Ducange gives no such word as lesus ; neither 

 does he nor any authority, to which I have access, 

 help me to understand the word clanctm-a. I trust, 

 however, that some of your correspondents will.

Headings of Chapters in English Bibles. — The 

 arguments or contents which are prefixed to each 

 chapter of our English Bibles seem occasionally to 

 vary; some being more full and comprehensive 

 than others. AVhen and by whom were they com- 

 piled ? what authority do they possess? and 

 where can we meet with any account of them ? 



LiTURGICUS. 



Abbot Eustacius and Angodus de Lindsei. — Can 

 any of your learned readers inform me in what 

 reign an Abbot Eustacius flourished ? He is wit- 

 ness to a charter of Bicardus de Lindsei, on his 

 granting twelve denarii to St. Mary of Green/eld, in 

 Lincolnshire : there being no date, I am anxious 

 to ascertain its antiquity. He is there designated 

 '■'■Eustacius Abbe Flamoei." Also witnessed by 

 Willo' decano de Hoggestap, Eoberto de Wells, 

 Eudene de Bavent, Radulpho de Neuilla, &c. The 

 latter appears in the Doomsday Book. The char- 

 ter is to be found among Ascough's Col., B. M. 



I should also be glad to know whether the 

 Christian name Angodus be German, Norman, or 

 Saxon. Angodus de Lindsei grants a carrucate 

 of land in Hedreshille to St. Albans, in the time 

 of the Conqueror. If this person assumed the 

 n.ime of Lindsei previous to th :; Doomsday inqui- 

 sition, ought not his name to have appeared in the 

 Doomsday Book, — he who could atford to make 

 a grant of 100 acres of land to the Abbey of St. 

 Albans ? J- L- 



Oration against Demosthenes. — Mr. Harris of 

 Alexandria made a discovery, some years ago, of 

 a fragment of an oration against Demosthenes. 

 Can you, or any of your kind correspondents, 

 favour me with an account of it ? I cannot recall 

 the particulars of the discovery, but I believe the 

 oration, with a. facsimile, was privately printed. 

 Kenneth 11. H. Mackenzie. 



p„„._C. H. Kenyon (Vol. iii., p. 37.) asks if 

 Milton could have seriously perpetrated the pun 

 " each tome a tomb." I doubt whether he in- 

 tended it ibr a pun. But his Query induces me 

 to i)ut another. Whence and when did the aver- 

 sion to, and contempt for, a pun arise ? Is it an 

 offshoot from the Reformation? Our Catholic 

 fellow-countrymen surely felt no such aversion ; 

 for the claim which they make of supremacy for
