NOTES AND QUERIES. 
(2-4 §. No 16., Apri 19, °56. 
Margaret, daughter of Perry of Thorpe, co. 
Surrey, sister of Col. Perry. Their daughter, Eli- 
zabeth, married Sir Thomas Hare, Bart., who in 
his will, dated 1688, mentioned his “ uncle John 
Perry,” and “uncle William Perry.” I shall be 
obliged for information as to this family of Perry, 
and for their armorial bearings. G. H. 
“Oh, what a miracle is grace !”—Where is the 
line, ‘Oh, what a miracle is grace!” to be met 
with ? Wea; 
Liverpool. 
Consecrations. — Would any of your readers 
kindly give me the names of the officiating pre- 
lates at the consecration of Bishop Graham 
(Chester), and Hamilton (Sarum), with place and 
date ? Mackenzie Waccort, M.A. 
The Bustard. — There is generally little use in 
asking a question when the time has gone by for 
obtaining an answer. I hope it will not turn out 
so as to what I would ask. 
Is there any one now living who can inform us 
when the last bustard was known to breed on 
Salisbury Plain? —for thanks to that most mis- 
chievous of all selfishness to which we Englishmen 
are so prone, the propensity to appropriate, and 
consequently to destroy, whatever is rare in either 
the animal or vegetable world, we now look in 
vain for what but for that propensity might still 
be flourishing and delighting the heart of the 
naturalist. RG. 
Chester. 
Does the Spider eat its own Web ?—Rennie, in 
his Insect Architecture, asserts that the common 
garden spider does not eat its own web. A close 
observation has convinced me that it does. After 
cutting a web, so that it hung only by a thread, 
the spider came out, gathered the whole up, 
soaked it with the glutinous liquid from its mouth, 
carried it to its den corner, and then, opening its 
jaws, took the entire ball in. The thought how- 
ever struck me, was the mass conveyed into the 
proper stomach of the insect, or into some cavity 
whence it might be reproduced through the spin- 
nerets? I should feel much obliged if you could 
answer this question, for I can assert that the 
web was swallowed. 
Query, What became of it ? 
Epwarp C. Pressiann. 
143. Cambridge Street, Pimlico. 
MacCarty More. —In the Dublin Penny 
Journal, vol. ii. p. 216., is the following paragraph, 
published in the year 1834: 
“A descendant of MacCarty More, King of Munster, 
had in his possession the crown, sceptre, and other re- 
galia, appertaining to his ancient dignity and family. 
He had also a cup, said to have been made from the 
“former days ? 
cranium of an ancestor of Brien Boirohme, whom the 
MacCarty had slain in battle. It was highly polished, 
and had a lid of silver. Another descendant of the great 
MacCarty More is now living, in very humble circum- 
stances, in the county of Cork, and has in his possession 
the title-deeds of the vast estates of that family in that 
county.” : 
What has become of these interesting relics of 
ABHBA. 
_ Arms wanted. —Tiddimann, Tiddemann, Ted- 
dimann, or Tieddemann, is, I understand, a com- 
mon surname in parts of Germany. I should be 
greatly indebted to any of your correspondents 
who could furnish me with the armorial bearings 
of such a family. Mercator, A.B. 
Song by F. B. P.—In the Gentleman's Mag. 
for December, 1850, p. 582., there is a hymn en- 
titled “* A song made by F.B. P. to the tune of 
Diana.” Who is the author, what is the date, 
and where can the tune be found ?* 
Jno. C. Horren. 
George Manners. — Can you give me any in- 
formation regarding George Manners, who, about 
fifty years ago, was editor of The Satirist? This 
gentleman was for many years British Consul in 
Massachusetts. Did his death occur in 1839, 
about which time he ceased to be consul ? 
X. (1.) 
Thompsons of Houghton-on-the- Hill. — Which 
branch of the family of Thompson settled at 
Honghton-on-the-Hill, in the county of Leicester, 
about the middle of the seventeenth century, and 
were lords of the manor of that place, bearing 
arms, Or, on a fesse dancettée, az. three estoiles, 
ar. on a canton of the second, the sun in glory, 
ppr. ? Emity. 
Brighton. 
The Bible. — What word is used in Patristic 
Greek for the Bible? Iam aware that ra BiSdia 
and 7 fi6Aos are used by some of the Greek 
Fathers in referring to the books of the Old or 
New Testaments; but I have not yet met any 
term applied to the collected writings, after their 
number was ascertained and settled by authority. 
Chrysostom was, I believe, the first to use a single 
word for them, and his example was, I suppose, 
followed by others. If so, where may I find au- 
thorities on the subject ? Tuomas Hopeins. 
Toronto, Canada. 
Lewis Family, Merioneth, Wales.—Can any 
of the many genealogists among the readers of 
“N. & Q.” favour me with information as to that 
branch of the Lewis family that formerly resided 
near or at Dolgelly, Merioneth, Wales? Does 
[* This is the original version of the hymn, “Jerusalem, 
my happy home,” In the Gentleman’s Mag. for 1851, Pt. i. 
pp. 66. 114. 516., are several guesses at its authorship. ]
