NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2n'i S. VI. 149., Nov. 6. '58. 



of Craig, in the East church of Aberdeen, it is 

 stated that William Shand died in 1660; his son 

 Thomas 5'^awfZ in 1678; and his grandson William 

 Shand in 1697. Farther proof of the identity of 

 De Champ and Shand would be a very great 

 favour. Z. Z.

The Candidates (2"'* S. v. 88.)— The Scotch 

 dialect, the plaid, impudence, rapacity, and the 

 initials H. D., suggest Henry Dundas, a favourite 

 subject of the caricaturists of that time ; but who 

 Sir William is, and what they are doing, I cannot 

 even guess. The " sculptured legist " is Solon : —

Lord George Gordon's Riots (2"'' S. vi. 243. 315.) 

 — In Me. R. B. Salmon's communication on this 

 subject, he mentions that one of those convicted 

 for participation in the riots suffered at Bethnal 

 Green. In 1853 I had, when in London, occasion 

 to visit the neighbourhood of Victoria Park, and my 

 attention was excited by seeing a number of per- 

 sons assembled round an excavation in the road 

 (I cannot, being a countryman, give the exact lo- 

 cality, but it was near the omnibus station at the 

 "Salmon and Ball"). The excavation was made for 

 the purpose of arranging the gas or water-pipes, 

 or something of the kind, and the subject of cu- 

 riosity was the head of a skeleton, still covered 

 with grey hair, exposed at a considerable depth at 

 the side of the cutting. I was told by a bystander 

 that it was the body of a magistrate executed there 

 for his share in Lord George Gordon's riots. Was 

 this the individual alluded to, and what was his 

 name ? E. S. Taylor. 



Salaries to Mayors (2°'* S. vi. 311.) — Coventry 

 pays its mayor 600Z. per annum. Liverpool pays 

 its mayor, and I believe Birmingham does also.

Coventry. 



Heweit Family (2"'^ S. vi. 331.) —The Hewetts 

 had formerly considerable property at Killamarsh, 

 or, as it was then written, Kynwaldemarsh, in this 

 parish, which is on the north border of Derby- 

 shire. J. Eastwood.

Fish mentioned in Havelok the Dane : Schulli 

 (2"'» S. vi. 232. 317.)— In a small collection of 

 fishing terms ("N. & Q." 2"* S. v. 116) I men- 

 tioned the sxdl as the name of a fish on our Norfolk 

 coast. Subsequent inquiries among the fisher- 

 men has elicited the fact, that the sull (more pro- 

 perly stull) is not the horse-mackerel, which is a 

 distinct species, but a name given to any extraor- 

 dinary sized mackerel, — a giant specimen of the 

 kind in fact. 



From the schulle in Havelok being mentioned 

 with the butt, which only differs from the plaice 

 in wanting the red spots on its back and the 

 thornback, it would seem to be of the flat or floun- 

 der tribe. Does the Roxburgh edition explain 

 schulle f*l should like to enrich my MS. Norfolk 

 vocabulary with a derivation of our word, which 

 has long baflled me. E. S. Taylor. 



Frederick VII., King of Denmark (2"* S. vi. 

 328.) — The late sovereign Frederick VI. was 

 grandson of Frederick V. and Louisa, daughter of 

 our George II. Frederick VII. is the great-grand- 

 son of Frederick V. and Juliana Maria of Bruns- 

 wick- Wolfenbuttel, his second wife. The present 

 sovereign, who is therefore not descended from 

 George II., came to the throne in default of male 

 heirs of Frederick VI. His uncle, Ferdinand Fre- 

 derick, was born in 1792, but, from the genealo- 

 gical tables of Koch, it does not appear that the 

 uncle had any child. In default of the line of 

 Oldenburg, there follow (1.) that of Holstein-Au- 

 gustenbourg, (2.) Holstein-Beck, and (3.) Holstein- 

 Oldenburg ; the representative of the last being 

 George Prince of Lubeck, who married in 1809 

 Catharine, Grand Duchess of Russia.

Motto (2"'» S. vi. 327.) — Will this suit M. S. 

 R.'s purpose, or is it too hackneyed ? —

 Gaudia, discursus, nostri est farrago libelli."

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



The Indian revolt continues to furnisli books to the 

 reading public. We have two such now before us. The 

 first is a light gossippy volume, illustrated, by-the-bye, 

 with some characteristic sketches of natives of diSerent 

 castes, by Mr. Dunlop, Deputv Commissioner in the 

 Punjab. It is entitled Service and Adventure with the 

 Khakee Ressalah, or Meerut Volunteer Horse during the 

 3Iutinies in 1857-8. The second is an American book. 

 The author, Mr. R. B. Minturn, who takes a strong Eng-
