Fulfilment of a Prophecy through Fear (2"* S. v. 

 390.) — The account of the death of the Scotch 

 Kin» Natholocus, taken as Hollinshed gives it, is 

 so good an example of the fulfilment of a predic- 

 tion through a " sudden revulsion of feeling "" that 

 it deserves noting in connexion with tiie commu- 

 nication given by Cothbert Bede as above. Na- 

 tholocus having sent " one of his trustie servants 

 unto a woman that dwelt in the ile of Comlekill, 

 esteemed verie skilfuU in forshewing of things to 

 come, to learn of her what fortune should hap of 

 the war " in which he was engaging against his re- 

 bellious people, — 



" The witch, consulting with her spirits, declared in 

 the end, how it phould come shortlie to pass, that the 

 kins should be murthereU, not by his open enemies, but 

 by the hands of one of his most familiar friends in whom 

 he had reposed an especiall trust. The messenger de- 

 manding by whose hands that should be? 'Even by 

 thine,' s^dth she, 'as it shall be well knowen within these 

 few dales.' The gentleman hearing these words railed 

 against her verie bitterlie, bidding her go like an old 

 witch ; for he trusted to see her burnt before he shoukl 

 commit so villanous a deed. And departing from her, he 

 went by and by to signifie what answer he had received; 

 but before he came where the king lay, his mind was al- 

 tered ; so that what for doubt on the one side, that if he 

 shovild declare the truth as it was told him, the king 

 might happilie conceive some great suspicion that it 

 should follow by his meanes as she had declared, and 

 thereupon put him to death lirst ; and for feare, on the 

 other side that if he keepe it secret, it might happen to be 

 revealed bj' some other, and then he to run in as much 

 danger of life as before; he determined with himself to 

 woi-ke the surest way ; and so comming to the king, he was 

 led aside by him into his privie chamber, where all other 

 being commanded to avoid, he declared how he had sped, 

 and then falling forthwith upon Natholocus, with his dag- 

 ger he slue him outright."

Black Paper and Bronze Rubber for Brasses 



(2"* S. vi. 70.) — The black paper and metallic 



• rubber can be obtained from the inventor, Mr. 



Henry S. Richardson, bookseller, of Church Street, 



Greenwich. J. J. H. 



Gates of the Great Exhibition (2"* S. vi. 70.)— 

 If A. B. means the malachite gates, they were pur- 

 chased by Sir Henry Stracey, Bart., sometime M.P. 

 for East Norfolk ; and are now at the entrance to 

 his park at Rackheath, Norfolk. H. D'Aveney. 



La Faqon de Birdbi (2°* S. v. 513.) — May not 

 this refer to the old French game of "Biribi," 

 which has merged into " Roulette " ? The former, 

 however, was originally from Italy, where it is 

 called "Biribisso." An account of the game is 

 found in L'Encyc. Method.; Diet, de Mathem.; 

 Alberti, Bescherelle, and Landais. 



R. S. Charnock. 



Mrs. Windeymore (2°'* S. vi. 63.) — In a volume 

 of the Annual Eegister, subsequent to the one 

 quoted by Mr. Waylen, namely, the volume for 

 the year 1772, the termination of the earthly ca- 

 reer of the grand-daughter of Dr. Hyde, Bishop 

 of Salisbury, Mrs. AVindimore, is related in the 

 following manner : — 



" January 6. In Emanuel-hospital, near Tothill -fields, 

 aged 108, Mrs. Windeymore ; she was second cousin to 

 Queen Anne, and had been upwards of fifty years in that 

 hospital."
