NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2id S. VI. 144., Oct. 2. '58. 



The Neales intermarried with the Turners, and 

 Sir P.aul Neale married tlie sister of the Venera- 

 ble Gabriel Clarke, D.D., Archdeacon of Durham. 

 AVhat was the name of Lady Neale's father, and 

 what were the arms of Gabriel and Thos. Clarke ? 

 "What was the connexion between the Clarkes and 

 tlie Lascelles, of whom one took the name of Las- 

 celles Clarke ? Of these titled and baroneted 

 families, the records in^the county histories are 

 obscure, because the county history of York is 

 deficient. E. H. T. 



The Lascelles Family. — Can any one inform me 

 whether the Earl of Harewood can trace his de- 

 scent through H. Lascelles, Esq., of Northallerton, 

 from Edward IIL or any former king of this 

 country ? T. S. IT. C. 



Medal of Alfonsus. — I am anxious to learn the 

 date, occasion, and comparative rarity of a bronze 

 medal in excellent preservation, and of remarka- 

 bly fine workmanship. This medal is about three 

 inches in diameter, and bears on the obverse the 

 bust of an Alfonsus (Qu. wliicli ?) with the len;end 



" ALFONSUS REX REGIBUS IMPERANS ET BELLORUM 



VICTOR." The inscription on the reverse is, 



"CORONANT VICTOREM REGNI MARS ET BELLONA." 



Mars and Bcllona are represented in the act of 

 crowning Alfonsus, who is seated between them. 

 The name of the artist is given, and is Christo- 

 phorus Hierimia. This singularly beautiful medal 

 was found in Smithfield during some excavations 

 for the erection of a house. Any information re- 

 specting it from your numismatic correspondents 

 will be thankfully received. B. H. C. 



James Rmse of Maidstone. — Information re- 

 quired respecting James Russe, a merchant (pro- 

 bably of French extraction), who was settled at 

 Maidstone during the reign of Chas. I. and the 

 Protectorate, Meletes. 



Matthew Dunne. — Where may be found any 

 memoir of Mathew Duane, Esq, of Lincoln's Inn, 

 London ? or, of whom may inquiry be made re- 

 specting him ? There is, in the Gentleman s Ma- 

 gazine, Part I., for 1785, an obituary notice of 

 Mr. Duane, highly laudatory ; and in Horace 

 Walpole's Letters, as well as in Twiss's Life of 

 Eldon, that gentleman is described in a manner 

 equally honourable to his memory. His nephew, 

 Michael Bray, Esq., also of Lincoln's Inn, was 

 Mr. Duane's sole legatee. If any descendai.ts of 

 that gentleman are living, what is their address ? 



Delta. (1.) 



Strype's Diary and Correspondence. — Where 

 are the Diary and literary correspondence of the 

 historian Strype ? The most valuable portions of 

 his historical collections are in the British Mu- 

 seum ; the Cecil Papers, derived from Sir Michael 

 Hickes, Lord Burghley's secretary, in the Lans- 



downe collection, and those of Foxe, the martyro- 

 logist, in the Harleian. But Chalmers states that 

 " he carried on an extensive correspondence with 

 Archbishop Wake, and the bishops Atterbury, 

 Burnet, Nicolson, and other eminent clergymen 

 or laymen, who had a taste for the same researches 

 as himself; " and that " he kept an exact Diary of 

 his own life, which was once in the possession of 

 Mr. Harris, and six volumes of his literary cor- 

 respondence were lately in the possession of the 

 Rev. Mr. Knight, of Milton in Cambridgeshire." 

 {Biog. Diet. 1816.) Where are they now ? 



J. G. N. 



Banns of Marriage. — I have before me a regis- 

 ter, belonging to the year 1656, in which it is 

 stated that the parties " were published in waye 

 of marriage by the bell-man of the cittie." Can 

 anybody give information on this point ? N. B. 



The Arncliffe Worm.. — Can any of your corre- 

 spondents inform me where I can find a copy of 

 the poem entitled the Arncliffe Worm, by Giles 

 IMorrington, author of Praise of Yorkshire Ale, Sj'c. 



C. J. D. Ingledew. 



Archbishops' Copes. — What is the nature of the 

 vestment worn by the Archbishop of Canterbury 

 at the opening of Convocation ? Is it a cope of 

 red silk ? The late Archbishop wore also, I am 

 told, a peculiar vestment of a purple colour at his 

 visitations at Canterbury Cathedral. Of what na- 

 ture was this ? The present Archbishop, I hear, 

 wears a similar one made of black silk. I have 

 never seen these vestments, and have only heard 

 them described, and should be glad of a more 

 particular and accurate description. Are they 

 ancient or not ? William Eraser, B.C.L. 



Alton Vicarage, StatTordshire. 



Roamer : Saxinterer. — The Builder, in the' 

 volume for 1857, p. 545., says, — 



" Tlie body (of Thomas il Becket) was first interred ia 

 the crj'pt, and hither came the first influx of pilgrims. 

 Here the king humiliated himself for the words which 

 instigated the deed, and hither came Louis VII. of 

 France, Richard of the Lion Heart immediately on his 

 return from the Holy Land, and King John directly 

 after his coronation. It was the age of pilgrimage. One 

 who had been to Rome was a roamer, and from amongst 

 those who had visited the Holy Land, La Sainte Teire, 

 we got saunterers .'" 



Are these words really derived as thus ex- 

 plained ? or does the paragraph exhibit the lively 

 wit of the talented editor ? A. R. T. 



[Other etj-mologies of roamer and saunterer have been 

 proposed ; but at any rate the derivation which explains 

 roaVner as properly signifying one who went on a pil- 

 grimage to Rome is well supported by collateral evi-
