“Provided that no process of utlary at the suit of any 
person plaintiff, shall be by virtue of this our pardon 
stayed or avoided, unless the defendant appear and put in 
bail, where by law bail is necessary, and take forth a*writ 
of Scire Facias against the party at whose suit he was 
outlawed. And that this our pardon be not allowed to 
discharge any outlawry after judgment, till satisfaction 
or agreement be made to or with the party at whose suit 
the utlawry was obtained. And our will and pleasure is, 
that this present pardon shall be of as good force and 
effect to pardon and discharge all and singular the pre- 
misses above mentioned, and intended to be pardoned and 
discharged, as if we should by letters patents under the 
great seal have granted particular pardons to every one 
of our subjects. And for the better manifestation of our 
gracious intentions and desire herein, we do give leave 
that any of our subjects not herein excepted, may take 
and sue out our particular pardon, pursuant to the tenor 
hereof. And for that purpose we shall direct our secre- 
taries of state to present warrants to us for our signature, 
and give order to our atturney-general or solicitor, to 
prepare bills for passing pardons to such as shall desire 
the same. Provided always, that this our general pardon 
shall not extend to any person that were in actual arms 
against us in the late rebellion in the west, who being 
now within this realm, shall not within three months 
after the publication hereof, lay hold of this our pardon, 
and testifie the same by their peaceable returning to their 
former habitations, labours, and imployments. 
“Given at our Court at Whitehall, the Tenth day of 
March, 1685. In the second year of our reign.

4 Minar Pates, 
General Wolfe. — The frequent mention of 
General Wolfe in the pages of “ N. & Q.,” and 
lately a notice of the ship in which he is said to 
have been conveyed to Quebec (2™S. i. 130.), 
have recalled to my mind a circumstance that oc- 
curred to me, perhaps more than sixty years ago. 
At the house of a near relative I met with one of 
her acquaintances, whose name, of no importance, 
I do not now recollect. He told me, in a conver- 
sation respecting General Wolfe, which deeply 
interested me, that he had been in the expedition 
with that officer, was in the action in which he 
was killed, saw him fall, and was among those who 
helped to bear him from the field. If my memory 
does not serve me with perfect accuracy as to all 
these points, I well remember his affirming that 
the dead body was taken on shipboard, and that 
he, my informant, assisted in washing and laying 
out the corpse in the cabin preparatory to its 
interment. ‘The latter particular made an im- 
pression upon me that is not obliterated. It is 
certainly very unimportant, and does not add a 
grains-weight to the history of his end; but as 
every thing connected with this gallant soldier, 
dead or alive, seems invested with peculiar interest 
to some of the readers of “N. & Q.,” it may be 
taken for as much as it is worth. I have some- 
times thought I should like to know how far the 
above fact of his being taken back to the ship 
corresponds with any of the accounts already 
given. Joun WEBB.

Wild oats, to sow one’s. — Turning over lately 
the leaves of Vol. v. of “N. & Q,,” I lighted at 
p- 306., on a suggestion as to the origin of the | 
phrase “to sow one’s wild oats,” which seemed 
far from satisfactory. If nothing better on the 
point has. since come in your way, take the fol- 
lowing from Grimm's German Mythology, vol. i. 
p. 222. Speaking of Loki, the Gutonic devil, he 
says: 
“A noxious weed (Polytrichum commune) which in- 
jures the cattle, is in North Jutland called Lokkens havre, . 
(Loki’s oats), and there is a proyerb, ‘ Lokiis now sowing 
his oats’ (havre), equivalent to the devil is sowing his 
tares. The Danish dictionary translates Lokeshavre, 
Avena fatua; others make it Rhinanthus crista-galli. The 
proverb: ‘Lokiis sowing his oats,’ and another: ‘ Loki 
is driving out his goats,’ are said to be applied when the 
heat of the sun causes vapours to rise and float on the 
earth’s surface.”

Edinburgh, 
Waiter. — This passage in Evelina (1779) seems 
curious, as showing how lately the etiquette of 
waiters was introduced : 
“ Just then a servant brought Lady Louisa a note upon 
a waiter, which is a ceremony always used to her lady- 
ship.’ 
This curiosity may be interesting to those who 
are glad to know the dates of such introductions, 
without making martyrs of themselves by wading 
through three volumes of sentimentality.
