Spanish Enigma (2° §. i. 193.) —I beg to 
offer a metrical translation of the enigma of 
Aloysius Legionensis, and also an attempt at its 
solution. 
Translation. 
Once at a table poor, yet rich and fine, 
One well, one sick, one dead, sat down to dine: 
The sick man medicine took, for food, to eat, 
The dead man paid the cost of all the treat ; 
But he who came there well, declared that he 
Was come to bury all the company. 
Solve this enigma, when you’ve conned it well, 
If your mouth dares its hidden sense to tell. 
Solution. 
Bethania’s table, poor in things of earth, 
Was made by Jesus rich above all worth. 
He, in full health and majesty divine, 
Sat at that humble board a guest, to dine. 
Judas was also there, but sick of soul, 
And Lazarus lately freed from death’s control. 
Judas received a healing medicine there, 
His Master’s just reproof compelled to share. 
The dead man Lazarus was there the host, 
And of that banquet gladly paid the cost. 
But He, the source of health, and life, and grace, 
Saw buried all assembled in that place. 
He too was dead and buried, but again 
He rose the God and Saviour of all men.

Sperling Street (24 8. i. 195.) — I have looked 
through a large collection of books on London, 
but have not succeeded in finding mention of this 
street. The most complete list of London streets 
is a small 12mo. of 306 pages, published (to all 
appearance) at the commencement of the present 
century. Its title is as follows: 
“ Boyle’s View of London and its Environs ; or a Com- 
_ plete List of all the Squares, Streets, Lanes, Courts, Yards, 
Alleys, &c., in and about five miles of the Metropolis. 
To which is added a Separate List of all the Churches, 
Chapels; Quays, Wharfs, Public Buildings, Law and other 
Offices, Societies, Decenting [sic] and Religious Meetings, 
Companies, Halls, Hospitals, and other Charities ; Coffee 
Houses, &c.,&c. London: Printed and Sold by P. Boyle, 
at his Court and City Guide Printing Office, No. 14. Nor- 
ris Street, Haymarket.”

Running Footmen (2™ §. i. 9. 80. 121.) — Now 
that “N. & Q.” has drawn attention to these re- 
tainers of a former day, the following extract 
relating to one of them in the service of an Irish 
family may not be without interest. The extract 
is from Tecollections of the Life of John O'Keeffe, 
vol. i. p. 120. O'Keeffe, who was born in 1747, 
is speaking of mansion-houses, near Dublin, during 
what he calls “ my early times :” 
“My Lord’s,” or “the Squire’s was called the Big 
House, and had its privileged fool or satirist, its piper, 
and its running footman : the latter I have often seen 
skimming or flying across the road ; one of them I par- 
ticularly remember, his dress, a white jacket, blue silk 
sash round his waist, light black-velvet cap, with a silver 
tassel on the crown, round his neck a frill with a ribbon, 
and in his hand a staff about seven feet high with a silver 
top. He looked so agile, and seemed all air like a Mer- 
cury: he never minded roads, but took the shortest cut, 
and, by the help of his pole, absolutely seemed to fly over 
hedge, ditch, and small river. His use was to carry a 
letter, message, or despatch; or, on a journey, to run be- 
fore and prepare the inn, or baiting-place, for his family 
or master, who came the regular road in coach and two, 
or coach and four, or coach and six: his qualifications 
were fidelity, strength, and agility. 
“Tt was the general rule of every man, in the character 
of a gentleman, never to gallop, or even trot hard, upon 
a road, except emergency required haste.”

Genealogical Queries (272 S. i. 210.) — Your 
correspondent Y.§. M. would have added much 
to the facility of finding replies to his queries if 
he had given dates as well as names in his dif- 
ferent questions. I can give him some little in- 
formation respecting the following families : 
Richardson. — The first Lord Gosford (for- 
merly Sir Archibald Acheson) married in 1740, 
Mary, youngest daughter of John Richardson of 
Rich (not Rick) Hill, co. Armagh. For further 
particulars see Burke's Peerage, ed. 1849. p. 445. 
Sinclair. — Sir James Sinclair (third baronet of 
family of Sinclair of Dunbeath, co. Caithness) was 
descended from Sir Alex. Sinclair of Lathrone, 
youngest son of Hon. George Sinclair, third son 
of George, fourth Earl of Caithness. He married 
Isabel, daughter of Sir Archibald Muir, Provost 
of Edinburgh, and died in 1742. (Burke, p. 904.) 
Folliott. —There is an account of the Foliots, 
Baron Foliot, in Burke’s Extinct and Dormant 
Peerages (p. 213., ed. 1846), but it does not men- 
tion that they were of Ballyshannon. There was 
a Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of Hereford, in 1149, and 
of London in 1161, distinguished for his fidelity 
to Henry II. in the struggles between that monarch 
and Thomas i Becket. The arms of the family 
were Gu. a bend, ar. Atrrep T, Lee. 
Tetbury, Gloucestershire. 
“ Tour in Ireland in 1813 and 1814” (2™ S. 
i. 192.) —'This work, though purporting from its 
title to be written “by an Englishman,” was 
written by an Irishman, John Gough, of the So- 
ciety of Friends, who kept a bookseller’s shop, 
first in Meath Street, afterwards in Eustace Street, 
Dublin. ‘Adtedc.
