" The Rogue's March " (a"-' S. ii. 191. ; vi. 420.) 

 — I know not how far the old officer alluded to 

 by M. S. R. may be gratified by the following 

 meagre ditty ; but I believe it is the only one 

 written for the " Rogue's March." It is the com- 

 position of Drum-Major Potter, of the Grenadier 

 Guards, and was written, in 1804, as a duet be- 

 tween the Prisoner and the Colonel : — 



" Prisoner^ Once or twice for selling my kit, 

 And three times for desertion ; 

 If I enlist for a soldier again. 

 The devil will be ray serjeant. 



" Colonel. Drum the thief all through the town, 

 Veiy well he deserves it ; 

 If he enlists for a soldier again, 

 The devil will be his serjeant." 



rt was Mr. Chappell's observation that this 

 graceful and pastoral melody deserved a better 

 application ; and I quite think it deserves better 

 words, which I may one day attempt to furnish 

 for it. May I take the liberty to inform M. S. R. 

 that his reference to " K & Q." (2°'» S. ii. 36.) 

 puzzled me, as being out of the usual mode of 

 quotation ? His 36. applied to the Number, but 

 it is customary to quote the page only after the 

 volume. It should therefore have been 2°'^ S. ii. 

 191. F. C. H. 



Print hij Wierix (2"'^ S. v. 478. ; vi. 18.) —The 

 youth is Charles V. The nondescript bird is pro- 

 bably the popinjay, won at a shooting-match. In 

 the IJritish Museum is, — 



" Vier-hundert-jahrige Jubilee over de memorable vic- 

 torie van Woeringehen, Terkriegen door het Hertoghe 

 Jax den 1 van diesen name. Hertoghe van Lothi-ynck, 

 Brabandt ende Maerkgrave des Hej'lige Eycx om den 5 

 Junii. 1288. Brussel, 1688." 



In honour of this victory a chapel was built, 

 and the guild of shooters instituted. A list of 

 kings of the guild is given, and it is said that 

 princes not only accepted that office, but in- 

 scribed their names among the brethren. 



"In the year 1512, Charles, Prince of these lands, and 

 afterwards Emperor, being then 12 years old, shot the 

 bird (^schoot den vogel af), in memory of which there is 

 still to be seen an old painting in the chamber of the 

 guild. It is a picture of the Virgin (^Mari-heldt), on one 

 side of which kneels the Emperor his father, and on the 

 Other Charles, v/ith this inscription : — 

 " ' Carl, Prins van Castilien excellent 

 Als Arts-hertogh van Osteriych gekent. 

 En Hertoghe van Bourgundicn en Brabandt, 

 Recht twelf jahren oudt, oft daer oratrent, 

 Liet godt Coninck zijn der Guide present. 

 En de Vogel af schuten, met sj'u liandt.' "

Though the inscription fixes Charles as the 

 youth in the print, there were probably two pic- 

 tures, unless the engraver took great liberties. 



We arc all familiar with the name of the Prince 

 of Tour and Taxis. Though it has nothing to do 

 with the ijuestion, it may be worth mentioning 

 that at the time of the jubilee described in the 



above work, the king of the guild was Eugenie 

 Alesandei', Prince of Tour and Taxis, Knight of 

 the Golden Fleece, and Hereditary Postmaster- 

 General (crfgeneralem postmeesler) to his Catholic 

 Majesty. H. B. C.

Anointivg at Coronations (2"'^ S. vi. 410.) — It 

 is asked by M. G. : 1st. Whether any anointing 

 with oil or application of water is performed upon 

 any Christian priests, abbots, or bishops ? and 

 2ndly. Whether consecrated oil is poured on the 

 heads of the Emperors of Russia and Austria? 



To the 1st I answer, that priests in the Catholic 

 Church are anointed with the holy oil called Oleum 

 Cutechitmenorum, on both hands, but not on the 

 head : that abbots are not anointed ; but that 

 bishops are anointed on the head and hands with 

 the holy oil called Sanctum Chrisma. 



To the 2nd, that the Emperors of Austria, 

 being Catholics, are crowned according to the 

 order of coronation in the Roman Pontifical, which 

 prescribes anointing with the Oleum Catechumen- 

 orum the right arm, at the wrist, at the elbow, 

 and between the shoulders. There can be no 

 doubt that the ceremony of anointing kings and 

 emperors is observed in the Greek Church, though 

 I have no evidence to offer on the subject. Re- 

 ference to the last consecration of a Russian em- 

 peror would probably enable the querist to clear 

 up his doubt. 



The querist speaks of the anointing of kings 

 prior to the time of Saul appearing probable ; but 

 there is satisfactory evidence of its having been 

 long an established usage from the parable, Judges 

 ix. 8. : " The trees went to anoint a king over 

 them." F. C. H. 



Irisli Estates (2°* S. vi. 207.) — For " nn instal- 

 ment " of the information required by B. S., I 

 beg leave to refer him to p. 16. of the Second 

 \_Generar\ Report of the Commissioners appointed 

 to inquire into the Municipal Corporations in Eng- 

 land and Wales, folio, 1837, and pp. 191—193. of 

 the " Report on London and Southwark," ap- 

 pended thereto. W. H. W. T.

Rileij Family (2"'^ S. vi. 373.).— If your cor- 

 respondent is not already master of the fact it 

 may interest him to know that there is still in 

 existence a document purporting to be an ex- 

 amination held in the church of Stockport, on 

 Wednesday in Passion Week in the year 1334, 

 before John de Aschton, Rector of Devenham, 

 &c., touching the legitimation of Cecilia, daughter 

 of Richard '' fil' Emme de Rylegh," which Richard 

 was married to Ibota (?), mother of the said Ce- 

 cilia, sixteen years before the said examination, in 

 the chapel of Povington (now Poynton) by Sir 

 Rich, de Wyggetonstall, Chaplain, in the presence
