NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 75. 



one night only, but went away himself, afraid, as the 

 story goes, that the Parliament should come to know 

 he had succoured Charles. I know that Llancaiach 

 was a place of considerable note long after that, 

 and tliat an old farmer used to say he had heard 

 the story from his father. The historians, I be- 

 lieve, are all silent as to his having fled to Wales 

 between the time of his defeat at Worcester and 

 the time he left the country. Davydd Gam. 



[Some accounts state that Charles I. was entertained 

 by Colonel Prichard, when tliat monarch, travelling 

 through Wales, lost his way between Tredegar and 

 Brecknock. (See Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of 

 Wales, art. " Gellygaer. )] 



Dog's Head in the Pot. — " Thomas Johnson, 

 Citizen and Haberdasiier of London, by will, dated 

 3d Sept. 1563, gave 13s. 4d. annually to the high- 

 ways between Barkway and Dogshed-in-the-Pot, 

 otherwise called Horemayd." 



The Dogshed-in-the-Pot here mentioned was, 

 as I infer, a public-house in the parisli of Great or 

 Little Hormead in Hertfordshire, by the side of 

 the road from Barkway to London. In Akerman's 

 Tradesmens Tokens current in London I find one 

 (numbered 1442) of the " Dogg's-Head-in-the- 

 Potte" in Old Street, having the device of a dog 

 eating out of a pot ; and the token of Oliver 

 Widlis, in Red Cross Street (No. 1610., a.d. 1667), 

 has the device of a dog eating out of a tliree-legged 

 pot. In April, 1850, Hay ward Brothers (late 

 II. Henly and Co.), wholesale and manufacturing 

 builders ironmongers, 196. Blackfriars Road, and 

 117. and 118. Union Street, Borough, London 

 (who state their business to have been established 

 1783), put forth an advertisement hea<led with a 

 woodcut of a dog eating out of a three-legged pot. 



Can any of your readers elucidate this sign of 

 the " Dog's-head-iu-the Pot ?" C. H. Coopkr. 



Cambridge, May 24. 1850. 



" Poor Allindds growing old." — Charles II., to 

 ve.x the Duchess of Cleveland, caused \Vill Legge 

 to sing to her — 



" Poor Allinda's growing old, 

 Those charms are now no more." 

 (See Lord Dartmouth's ^lote in Burnet, vol. i. 

 p. 458. ed. 1823.) Let me ask, through "Notks 

 AND Queries," Dr. Rimbault, Mr. Chappell, or 

 any readers, where are these verses to be found? 



P. Cunningham. 



Who was the Author of " The Modest Enquiry, 

 ^c." f — There is an anonymous tract, entitled A 

 Modest Enquii-y, &,-€., (4to. London, 1687), on the 

 question of St. Peter's ever having been at Rome : 

 proving, in so far as a negative in the case can be 

 proved, in the most logical, full, clear, and satis- 

 factory manner, that — He nei^cr was at Home; 

 and neoer ivas, either nominally or otherwise, Sisho]) 



of the Church there : and showing the grounds for 

 the contrary assertion to be altogether baseless 

 and untrue ; being a tissue of sclf-contradicling 

 forgeries and frauds, invented long subsequently 

 to the time, evidently for the sole purpose of jus- 

 tifying tlie Ptipal pretensions of succession and 

 derivation from the Apostle ; as those, and all its 

 other claims, are founded alone upon that fact, 

 and must stand or fall with it. 



The inquiry is conducted throughout with evi- 

 dence of great acquaintance with Scripture and 

 much theological learning (though the writer 

 states himself to be a layman), without the least 

 undue pretension, and with the most perfect tem- 

 perateness and impartiality. 'I he work would 

 seem now well worth reprinting in a cheap and 

 popular form. 



Who was the author ? M. 



[In Francis Peck's Catalogue of Discourses in the 

 Time of King James II., No. 226., the name of Henrv 

 Care is given as the author. A list of his other works 

 may be found in Watt's Bihliotheca.^ 



William Penns Family. — Can any of your 

 correspondents inform me to whom his eldest sur- 

 viving son (William) was married, and also to 

 whom the children of the said son were married, as 

 well as those of his daughter Letitia (jNIrs. Aubrey), 

 if she had any ? This son and daughter were 

 WiUiaui Penn's cliildren by his first marriage 

 with Miss Springctt. A. U. C. 



[William Penn, eldest son (of MHlliam Penn by Miss 

 Springctt), had two children, Gulielma Maria, married 

 to Charles Fell, and William Penn of the Hocks in 

 Sussex, who by his first wife, Christian Forbes, had a 

 daughter and heir, married to Peter Gaskell. Mrs. 

 Aubrey was living in 1718. Our correspondent may 

 also be retc.'rred to Mr. Ilepworth Dixon's recently 

 published IVilliam Penn, an Historicul Biogruihi/.'\ 



Deal, Dover, and Harwich . — ^\'^here do the fol- 

 lowing lines come from ? 



" Deal, Dover, and Harwich, 

 The devil gave with his daughter in marriage ; 

 And, by a codicil to his will. 

 He added Helvoet and the Brill." 



J. H. L. 



[Francis Grose, in his Colhclion of Proverbs, speaks 

 of them as " A satiric d s'lulb thrown at the innkeepers 

 of those places, in return for the many impositions 

 practised on travebers, as well natives as strangers. 

 Equally applicable to most other sea-ports."] 



Author of Broad Sto7ie of Honour. — Who is 

 the author of the Broad Stone of Honour, of which 

 mention is made in the Guesses at Truth, 1st 

 series, p. 230., &c., and in the Ages of Faith, p. 236., 

 works of some interest in reference to the Papal 

 discussions which are raging at present ?
