NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[24 3, No 11, Mar. 15, °56, 
extraordinary essay; but I may point out that | 
Mr. Ruskin sacrifices truth to brilliancy of ex- 
pression when he says that Scott was a Presby- 
terian because it was convenient and fashionable 
to be so in Edinburgh. If any one will turn to 
the last chapter in Lockhart’s Life, they will find 
the following passage : 
“ He took up, early in life, a repugnance to the mode 
in which public worship is conducted in the Scottish 
establishment, and adhered to the sister church; whose | 
system of government and discipline he believed to be 
the fairest copy of the primitive polity, and whose lita- 
nies and collects he reverenced, as having been trans- 
mitted to us from the age immediately succeeding the 
Apostles ” : — 
which Mr. Ruskin might have known. 
Sarror. 
The Nine Gores. —The following particulars 
may be found in Archdall’s edition of Lodge’s 
Peerage of Ireland, vol. iii. p. 285. ; being curious, 
they are worthy, I think, of insertion in “N. & 
Q.,” and may perhaps be matched by some other 
correspondent : 
“Tt is worthy of remark that nine of this family [Gore, 
of which the head was the Earl of Ross] were in the 
[Irish] parliament, which met 8th October, 1751, viz. 
Sir Ralph,.after Lord Ross, for the county of Donegall ; 
Sir Arthur, after Earl of Arran, for same county; Frede- 
rick, fifth son of William, Dean of Down, for Tulske; 
Paul Annesley, of Cotletstown, brother to the said Sir 
Arthur, for the county of Mayo; William, of Woodfort, | , ‘ 
| son of Rick Hill, co. Armagh, Esq. Query, ought 
grandson of Sir Arthur, first baronet, for the county of 
Leitrim; Ralph Gore, of Barrowmount, for the city of 
Kilkenny; and of the family of Tenelick (grandsons to 
the first Sir Arthur), Arthur was member for the county 
of Longford; John, late Lord Annaly, for Jamestown; 
and Henry, now of Tenelick, for Killibegs. (Commons 
Jour., viii. 252 —260.) The unanimity of the Nine Gores 
long continued proverbial; consequently their influence 
in the senate may be more easily imagined than de- 
scribed.”
