NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[274 8. No 25., June 21. 956. 
Tradesmen’s Tokens (2 8. i, 836. 417.) —I 
am obliged to your correspondents, and especially 
to Mr. E. 8. Tayror, for their answers to my 
Queries. The list of Norfolk corruptions is use- 
ful, though most of them are familiar to me; but 
I wish to correct one mistake Mr. Tayror has 
made. 
“ Matthew Rich and John Potterill” is not a 
Norfolk token, but one of Okeham, in Rutland; 
the word is very plain on my specimen. 
Snelling’s lists are very useful as far as they go ; 
but no explanations being given of the modern 
names of the places mentioned by him, it would 
occupy too much of your yaluable space to re- 
print them. 
I would gladly comply with the suggestion of 
Mr. Frere; but the coins were only mentioned to 
me as I gave them, my own collection (except for 
London) being as yet small. I trust, however, 
that other collectors will supply this omission, as 
you appear to have several among your readers. 
Being unwilling to intrude too much on the 
space at your disposal, I confine myself at present 
to one Query, and an explanation or two which I 
have ascertained since I wrote to you. Query, 
where is Fairefax ? 
“O,—John Pettie x Justice holding a sword and 
pair of scales. 
“R. — Fairefax, 1666 x A ship in full sail.” 
I have suggested the co. of Monmouth, where 
there is the Fairfax estate lately presented to 
Lord Raglan as a memorial of his gallant father ; 
but Monmouthshire is not a maritime county. 
Ozed is St. Osyth, co. Essex. 
Town Sovtton is Sutton Valence, co. Kent. 
The Manor of Honychild is also in Kent, in 
Romney Marsh. 
Stoowry is Sturry, co. Kent. 
Austenfield I cannot find in my county atlas; 
but there is Austonefield, on the borders of Der- 
byshire, but in Staffordshire. I subjoin a descrip- 
tion of the token: 
‘«(,— James Sheldon at x Grocers’ Arms. 
R. — Ostenfeild, 1666 x His . Half . Peny.” 
J.S. SMALLFIELD. 
10. Little Queen Street, Holborn. 
Song on Tobacco (2°. 8. i. 258. 260.) — Your 
correspondent Y. B. N. J. was probably not aware 
of the authorship of the very pretty sonnet on the 
pipe and tobacco, which he quotes from Misson, 
who probably himself was not aware of it. The 
author was Esprit de Raymond, Comte de Mo- 
déne, putative father of Armande Béjart, wife of 
Moliére. He is also. author of some pleasant 
verses : “ La peinture du pays d’Adioussias, c’est- 
h-dire de l'état d’Avignon,” an epistle to a young 
person about to take the veil; a set of mono- 
rhymes in if, addressed to “ Inizul ;” and a mag- 
nificent sonnet on the crucifixion. While on the 
subject of Misson, allow me to recommend to the 
perusal of your readers, Ozell’s Preface or De- 
dication : it is the finest gem of snobbery in the 
language. ’ James Know es. 
William Spencer (2"1 §. i. 472.) —The lines 
quoted by your correspondent 8. were, doubtless, 
the original production of William Robert Spencer, 
and as such are contained in a volume of poems 
afterwards published for him, in 1811, by Cadell 
& Davies, Strand, London; where they will be 
found at p. 166. DE is. 
“ Cullet” (24 S. i. 377.) — This word is to be 
found in Goodrich’s edition of Webster, and also 
in Brande, who says: “broken glass, to be melted 
over.” R. 8. Cuarnocx.
