" 1554. The iiij day of Junii wasse all the galoes in 

 London plokyd done on all plases." The same 

 day preparations commenced to receive " the 

 prynce of Spayne commyng in." Mary, who an- 

 ticipated hanging round the neck of her husband 

 Philip II., did not consider twenty-four gallows 

 a pleasing addition to the wedding procession.

John Lackland. — Your correspondent, T. A. 

 PicTON, says (2'"' S. vi. 314.) : " We know that 

 King John, after his defeat and hundliation, acquired 

 the sobriquet of ' Sans-terre' or ' Lackland.' " On 

 what authority does this statement rest ? I have 

 not Matthew Paris to refer to ; but, if I am not 

 mistaken, he gives a very different account. At 

 all events, Sandford, in his Genealogical History 

 (p. 81.), tells us that John's father, Henry II., 

 was wont jestingly to call him " Sans- ter7-e" or 

 '■'■ Lack- land ;" large provisions having been made 

 for his brethren, and nothing seeming to be left 

 for him. Meletes. 



Pillory (2°'' S. vi. 245.) — I saw the pillory at 

 Coleshill, Warwickshire, about three years ago. 

 It was then entire, but a good deal out of repair ; 

 but I am informed by an inhabitant that, upon the 

 occasion of a man being put in the stocks, which 

 are attached to the bottom of the pillory, about 

 two years ago the whole was repaired by the au- 

 thorities. It stands at the back of the market- 

 house in the little square between that building 

 and the church. Although acquainted with a 

 large number of English towns and villages this is 

 the only pillory I remember ever to have seen.

Forty Days' Rain (2''« S. vi. 328.)— The saying

 the Feast (Aug. 24) of St. Bartholomew the Apo- i
